Site Governance Team Members Present: Mike George, Frank Ciriza, Dan Swierczynski, Jennifer Kelley, Dave Page, Marla O’Connell, Michelle Cook
Absent: Eleanor Evans, Dina Weiss, Louise Park
Guest: Paulette Fillion, Sue Ericson, Kelly Padilla, Monica Gideon, Carol Tran (Student Rep), Savannah Parker (Student Rep), Regina Cavada (Student Rep)
The meeting was called to order at 4:30 p.m. Quorum was met.
Governance Business
- Approval of Minutes: Minutes of April 17, 2008 meeting were reviewed. Marla O’Connell moved to approve the minutes as written; motion passed.
- Public Input: None.
- Scheduling: Mike George informed members we will have a 7-period day next year (including one lunch), and Wednesday will remain a minimum day. We will staff 25 teachers, not including Special Ed. We will have seven 6th grade teachers (3 are identified; 4 could possibly be new). These teachers have requested to go back to self-contained classrooms, but they will have to prepare for all subject areas except P.E. and computers. We are trying to get common prep periods for 7th grade teachers. With only a 60-min. prep, teachers will need most of that time to do personal things and won’t have a lot of time to meet. Elective classes will include drama, Carnegie math support program, SLIC program, and ELST w/QTEL strategies. In 8th grade, the problem with the algebra support class is that it doesn’t prepare students for the CST.
- 8th Grade Promotion: Mike George said there is a tentative list of students not attending the promotion. Dr. Cansdale will be our guest speaker, and we will possibly have the Marine Corps Color Guard. We will also have our new sound system in place. Promotion commences at 9:30 a.m. on June 16.
- Staffing/Enrollment: Mike George stated that enrollment for the 2008-09 school term will consist of 220 6th graders, 230 7th graders, and 240 8th graders. These numbers will continue to fluctuate until November. These small numbers could drastically affect the school next year.
- Student Interventions: The Tariq Khameesa Foundation will be on campus during the day next year. We will also continue with our after-school tutoring program.
- Technology Class: Mike Lehmann will be going to Seattle to attend training so he can teach this elective next year. We will have 30 computers set up in his room, and he will teach two sections. This class dove-tails with Kearny High’s technology/engineering/robotics classes.
Committee Reports
- Civility – (Handout) Monica Gideon shared her concerns about the “Support System For Negative Behavior”draft that was given to staff for review. She feels the Taft rules to be posted in each class should be positive rules about how we treat each other and behave on campus. Her concern is that many of the levels are vague and the behaviors are not clear. Mike George informed members that we are trying to come up with a set of rules before next year because we will be short about ten adults on campus. Teachers need to have their comments in by next Tuesday so that another draft can be prepared for the next staff meeting. Once this is approved, teachers will be expected to abide by it so that we are all on the same page.
Round Table
- Dan Swierczynski inquired about requirements for promotion; specifically, whether it was changed from two “Fs” to one “F.” Mike George read the new Retention Form to members: 0-1 “F” in 8th grade shall promote to 9th grade. 2 or more “Fs” in 8th grade are required to attend summer school.
Next Meeting
- September 18, 2008 at 4:15 p.m. in the library.
Adjournment
- Discussion ended at 5:45 p.m. The meeting adjourned concurrently with SSC at 6:35 p.m.
