Guest: Paulette Fillion, Sue Ericson
The meeting was called to order at 4:28 p.m. Quorum was met.
Governance Business
- Approval of Minutes: Minutes of May 15, 2008 meeting were reviewed. Jennifer Kelley moved to approve the minutes as written; motion passed.
- Public Input: None.
- Addition To Agenda: Mike George motioned to add discussion regarding closure of the staff parking lot to the agenda, and it was seconded by Dave Page. All in favor, motion passed.
- New Admin. Structure: Mike George informed members that Lynn Ryan, our new Vice Principal, was a unanimous pick by the hiring committee. We currently have 626 regular ed students, and our special ed students bring our student body up to 679.
- New Start Time: First bell rings at 9:00, with start time at 9:05. School ends at 4:00 on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday, with the busses leaving at 4:10. Wednesday minimum day dismissal is at 1:52.
- Staffing: Mike George said we are .67 short in teaching units for what we are allowed. Unfortunately, we only had 5-6 students show for our seminar program and we needed 10, so the program was taken away from us. We will not lose any teachers. We currently have 34 staff members. We lost two clerical members in the office, one counselor, and one vice principal.
- Test Scores: Taft did not meet its AYP goal last year, with a score of 751. However, we showed another steady increase of 18 points. We didn’t reach our goal with impoverished students, English language learners, and special education. We currently have 129 ELLs. Mike George has requested teachers to look at their “below basic” and “far below basic” students. They have a new form to track student data so they can find commonalities in their targeted students. Overall, we have a 41-42% proficiency rate. It’s our subgroups that didn’t make it. Teachers will be able to write their own SMART goals based on this data.
- Professional Development: Mike George’s push this year is Learning By Doing: A Handbook for Professional Learning Communities at Work by Richard DuFour. The staff members will start discussing the book and their professional development in October.
- Parking Lot Gate: Mike George received a report from three teachers this morning that a parent almost ran them over, as well as three students, in the staff parking lot. Mike made a motion for an advisory vote from Governance to investigate some form of physical gate to close off the lot, as well as educate the parents and community. The motion was seconded by Dan Swierczynski. All in favor, motion passed.
