Minutes

on 1/14
Dance lessons are from 8-9 and the dance is 9-11.
The dance will be held in the halls.
Students from the SHS LSU can be
in invited on a one-on-one basis.

Todd has been issuing some warnings and tickets to cars with
no tags. (ticket prices: $75 for parking in a handicapped spot, $45
for parking by a yellow curb, $20 for parking in the wrong lot, $20 for
no tag). Should we change the ticket process?
No!
We decided to keep the prices the same because if they are less
expensive, students find it cost effective not to buy permits.

Mr. Lancer voting will be on 1/11 during lunch in the auditorium and
1/12-1/14 in the Activities Office, (Cindy Wilgus's office). Mr.
Lancer candidates are screened by Cindy Wilgus.
A pep assembly on 1/14 was approved. It will be a 30-minute assembly.
Winter formal will be on 2/12. 8:30-11:30.
It was suggested to return to using specific forms for requesting
dances. Hareem and Larry will look for the old forms.
Winter Fest was approved for 2/7-2/11. Bands will play during lunch
and food will be for sale outside under the covered area between the
library and office.
Leadership will be discussing a Tsunami Fund Drive this week in
leadership. It may be a school-wide or district-wide effort.
Old Business: Human Rights Day is still in the works. The committee
met on 1/4 and more specific details will soon follow. The date has
been decided.
Operations approved the Science Dept.'s request to have a recycling
assembly on 1/31. It was decided to have the assembly during 2nd
period. It will be open to classes on a first come basis. Lara Rice
will present more information at at the next staff meeting.

Department Budgets Departments would like to see more frequent budget
information. It was suggested to either email them out or pass them out
at Curriculum Council.
Math Placements: A concern was raised about the misplacement of math
students in classes where they do not have the prerequisite classes or
skills. Algebra II is the biggest problem. We discussed possible
causes for misplacement and possible solutions. We will continue to
examine solutions before students register for classes next year.
Cold Air: Do we need some weather stripping on the outside doors? We
think so!

Dennis will look into weather stripping.
