GLENALLAN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL
SCHOOL ADVISORY COUNCIL
MINUTES
NOVEMBER 7TH,
2002
The second meeting of SAC was
held at 4:00 p.m. on November 7th, 2002 in Portable 1. In attendance were Joan Bower, Principal;
Glenn Wile, Assistant Principal; Michelle Channing, co-chairperson; Susan
Steinfath, Myrette Rodney, Holly Gerzeny, Robbie Stookey, Luda Samchuk, Mary
Wagner, Yvonne Rezek, Alison Hinch, Natasha Telesford, and Patricia
Foster. Absent were Charleen Ford,
Linda Shaughnessy, and Jennifer Opsatnick.
The meeting was called to order by Ms. Bower.
The first order of business
was a discussion of how to submit climate surveys: 1. Use district’s
questions – phone survey – scored by scantron.
2. Use district’s questions and our own – score it ourselves. All voted to use district’s questions and our own with same format as last year’s
format. Ms. Bower brought to the
discussion whether this survey should be tied into work habits. Again, everyone voted to tie into work
habits due to the success of receiving so many last year by tying into work
habits.
Ms. Bower handed out the
previous year’s surveys and suggested that the members look them over and bring
any ideas for change in the climate survey questions to the December SAC
meeting.
All members present were given
the proposal by the staff for the A+ monies.
Ms. Bower shared how the staff came up with three plans and voted. The district asked her to also share the way
the monies would be taxed: no
additional tax if spent on materials for school and taxed again if given in a
bonus to staff.
Ms. Bower opened discussion on
thoughts about the staff’s proposal.
Most in attendance opposed the idea of a large amount of the money being
taken by taxes when the money could be used to benefit children without the additional
tax being taken.
After a lengthy discussion,
three proposals were brought for a vote.
A. Staff’s original plan, B.
$300 to instructional staff for classroom materials – proportionally
less for bonus, C. $250 for instructional staff for classroom materials –
proportionally less for bonus. A vote
was taken. Four for plan A, Six for
plan B, and Three for plan C. (Mr. Wile
did not vote. He is not a voting member
of SAC).
We adjourned our meeting at
5:35 p.m. Our next SAC meeting will be
held December 5th at 4 p.m. in Portable 1.
Respectfully submitted,
Robbie Stookey
