Visitors should contact Gene before meetings, but Gene will rephrase the visitor comments to emphasize making introductions friendlier. Order of the agenda will be rephrased to reflect comments about meeting opening. Since Site Council discussion was only required to restrict submissions to four proposals, no action was taken. No specific deadlines given to committees for recommendations about revising the charges, and there has been no response from TLT or Curriculum committees. Suggestions should go to Phyllis Metzker's box.
Certified staff is underrepresented on the committee.
Students came inconsistently to meetings and Site Council members were not in conversations early enough to participate. Committee members tend to be action oriented, presenting solutions to problems that do not have consensus for recognition as problems, like the inflexible hours, late start and the sleep issue. We need to develop a model for handling issues like this, which went from Parent Council to the 4J Future Schools group. We need earlier, more open-minded participation from all stakeholders. The staff smoking room issue has been their major success.
