Old Business
Discipline/ Safety:		The success of the new procedures regarding passing periods, locker rules and bathroom procedures was discussed. It was generally agreed that the procedures are working fairly well with a few exceptions. Stacey indicated that during SAI the bathroom break schedule is hard to follow. Team input is needed for a one time committee to deal with Central Detention. Anyone who would like to participate in a small committee to plan out a faculty meeting to deal with Central Detention problems please e-mail Heisel.
Note filing		Don’t file notes just put them all in a container in case they are needed.
Homework requests		Carol and Joyce will continue to filter the requests and get them to us according to the rules in the handbook.
Exploratory Computers		This will be taken care of in a plan developed by the Budget Committee.
Team computers		Kelly is checking with Angie to get each team an online computer in their team office.
BILT issues		Will be filtered by the leader and an administrator to either be accepted as a BILT issue or referred to the proper place.
Leadership training		Stan shared that he had inquired about problem solving training for BILT members. He and Jeff will get more information about it for discussion at the next BILT meeting.
Family Living		A long discussion of the issue yielded the following things: 1. Family living will be the responsibility of the two seventh grade teams again this year. 2. Jeff will again talk to Chuck about finding a better way of dealing with this issue.
