Attendance Changes	Changes in the attendance policy this year have been turned in to the printers next years student parent handbook.
Discipline program PBIS	The topic of the PBIS idea was discussed and it was decided that time needs to be spent in a full faculty setting discussing any reservations about the program before any vote should take place. This discussion will take place at the full faculty meeting on the 14^th.
Building space/ bandroom use	Discussion was held concerning moving part of the learning center to the band room. It was decided that the best thing to move into the band room would be the writing lab. Kelly will design guidelines for moving junk out of the band room.

	These people will be attending a training August 18 and 19.
ISAT scheduling	Team concerns with this years ISAT schedule were discussed. · Testing in disciplines was agreed to be a benefit. · Not testing during fifth hour was recognized as a possible change for next year. · Plans for taking care of special needs issues earlier is necessary.
Grade Committee	Both Junior Highs agreed to the 90, 80, 70, 60 scale with the lowest F being a fifty. Final grades would then be determined by a numerical average of the four quarters instead of by letter grades. More refining of the proposal will be done in the committee and be given to the board in the near future.
New Business
SIP/ PDSA Goal	The building must have a school improvement goal and PDSA process next year. The idea of having a building PDSA on an issue to be determined later and having instructional issues be covered in each discipline was discussed. Each discipline will need to have a representative on the PDSA team next year. These people will need to be people who have not had the PDSA training yet. They will attend a paid training in June. The PDSA members from each discipline for 03/04 need to be given to Jeff before 5/23.
BILT issues data	Mr. Heisel handed out a summary of the issues that were brought to BILT during the 02/03 school year. Based on the list it was agreed that major changes need to be made to the organization and structure of BILT.
Building Retreat for 03/04	Mr. Mendenhall suggested that the retreat be held at BJHS this coming year instead of going to a restaurant. This would save $$$ if lunch is not provided and takes the form of a potluck. It would also allow for working in rooms immediately after the retreat. Room work would still not be allowed during the retreat time.
Early out days	Mr. Noonen brought up as concern that we need to refocus the early out days so that the staff actually receives some training.
Scheduling	A proposal to change who does the scheduling of the students was discussed. After lengthy discussion concerning compliance issues it was agreed to take the discussion to teams for input.
Non-issues	A number of issues were also briefly discussed and determined to be either unclear or not BILT issues.
