Attending: Jamie Ward, Linda Norman, Matt Green, Karen Seest, Yvonne Thompson, Karen McGuiness, Sue Thompson, Teresa Bell (parent rep), and Becky Walker.

The minutes of the September 19^th meeting were corrected and approved.

Learning Center Update: Linda Norman reported that the learning center is up and running. Individuals should now turn in computer problems using IRM, which will be explained at our School Improvement Day on Friday. The phones and voice mail are still being worked on. Teachers need to be sure to write out passes to the learning center for everything except 10 minute book checkout. Morning book checkout needs to be completed before 8 am. Please don’t send students to check out books during homeroom/SSR time.

SILT Committees: Teams need to go over committee assignments and tell them to Matt Green before the next meeting. Chairpeople for these committees need to be chosen. The Quality Assurance committee will become a standing SILT committee. Sue Thompson and Stan Fitzanko will chair this committtee and this year’s members will be handpicked to include people with experience in this area.

SILT Guidelines: These have been reviewed and revised. See Matt Green for questions and information.

District Discipline Committee: Mary Ellen Shock will be our school representative for this committee.

I.D. information: I.D. replacements will cost $2. Faculty will vote Friday to choose one of these procedures to help keep I.D.s here at school. Option #1: I.D.s will be collected by the 5^th hour teacher and students will pick them up from this teacher each morning before the 8 am bell. Option #2: Students will return to HR the last 5 minutes of 5^th hour to listen to afternoon announcements and to hand in I.D.s.

United Way: Josh Norman is our building representative and he will present building goals to the staff on Friday.

Permanent Substitutes: These have not been chosen yet for our building. All other buildings have hired theirs and there are not many choices for us. If you know of someone interested in the job, please let Stan Fitzanko know.

Student Led Conferences: Teams need to start planning now. An outline of the training of the students, each teams’ organization, and the team’s schedule need to be sent to Stan Fitzanko soon. Teams have the option of choosing to offer Wed night conferences and taking Thursday morning off or working Thursday morning, afternoon, and evening.

Cleanliness of building: Sue Thompson gave each team rep a schedule of the cleaning duties in the building so we will know what to expect. If something needs attention, document it and turn in the problem to Sue Thompson.

Student Council: This organization still has no faculty sponsor. Anyone interested in sponsoring this activity can negotiate with Stan Fitzanko concerning the concessions at games, but he has already assigned students to these duties.

October 5, SIP: Jamie Ward and Melissa Erwin will present information on homework PDSA. This plan is open to any team or individual teacher who would like to volunteer to be involved. It will be explained in detail on Friday. Also, the Enthusiasm vs Learning Chart will be presented to the faculty for voluntary use.

Fundraiser Update: All envelopes must be turned in this week.

Other issues: Team Money Distribution: Teachers voted for the "new" option #1 on the ballot. This takes last year’s 5 core team members and divides their money into 5ths and distributes this amount to them on their new teams. Since there were 4 special ed teachers last year and there are only 3 this year, the amount from the fourth special ed teacher will be evenly divided among all four teams this year.

Concerns: Not all visitors to the building are wearing I.D.s, especially maintenance staff. This will be taken care of soon.

Agenda items for the next meeting should be given to Matt Green.

Respectfully submitted,

Becky Walker
