Minutes – November 16, 2006  

Meeting called to order at 5:25.

Members present: Kim Parker Brown, Debbie Webb, Sheryl Bruens, Sharon Willmarth, Betty English, Genelle Meads, Terri Tonges and Brenda Cissell.

  • The agenda was approved.  (S. Willmarth made a motion to approve, T. Tonges seconded.)

  • Minutes for the September meeting were reviewed and approved with one change – SBDM council members were not asked to attend the November 20 School Board meeting.  D. Webb made a motion to approve the minutes; S. Bruens seconded this.

  • The council reviewed the minutes for the School Climate, Policy, Communications and Maintenance and Technology committees’ September meetings.  The minutes for the Policy Committee reflected that the SBDM parent member elections should have been held in November. Due to an oversight by both SBDM Council and PTO Board members, this election is scheduled to be held on December 1.

  • Due to NCLB testing results, the school district has been required to hold back 10% of Title 1 funds.  The amount of Huntertown’s budget affected by this requirement is $5950.30; this money can only be used for professional development in Reading Recovery and Math. Currently 8 teachers are scheduled to attend extra PD sessions in reading recovery and 3 in math.

  • In order to conform to the standards set by the Southern Association of colleges and Schools (SAC), Huntertown needs to have a mission statement that is posted and known be both faculty and students.  The council discussed the need to post the mission statement, and the possible need for separate, bulleted beliefs.  It was decided that this belief statement could be posted and learned by all members of the Huntertown community:

“Every student can become a productive and responsible citizen.”
 
  • A motion to accept this belief statement was made by B. Cissell and seconded by G. Meads.

  • Council members reviewed the most recent C-SIP Impact check, documentation was provided by Mrs. Parker-Brown.

  • All decisions were by consensus.

  • A motion to close was made at 6:40 pm by G Meads and seconded by B. English.
