Operations Minutes: September 13, 2004

Return to Minutes Index

Open Agenda:

SAT dates conflict

• There is a conflict with the 04-05 SAT dates that were requested on
  September 8th. The cafeteria was previously booked for the October and
  December dates.
• Karla will check with the groups who have it reserved to see if there
  is a compromise in areas to be used.
• Just a reminder that building usage is on a first-come, first -served
  basis. If you are in charge of school-related activities (as these are
  obviously more important than rentals) please assure getting the dates
  you need by reserving them as soon as possible.

Activity Vans Usage

• The activity vans can be used by any school group with a certified
  driver and can be reserved on a first-come, first-served basis.
• This "policy" surrounding use of our two activity vans was
  questioned, as was the reason why Rachel Carson seems to have priority
  over the vans and there is no time left for others to use them. This
  will be discussed further at the next meeting. Funding of the vans was
  also discussed.

Staff Concerns:

Staff T-Shirts

• Need to get smaller sizes next year, more flattering for the women
• Sizes were noted this year so that next year we will have a better
  idea of what to order
• These are ordered during the summer, so will ask staff to pick a size
  before they leave for summer
• Will again have a meeting about shirts next year before summer break
  so that staff can help decide style/design

Dogs in the Building

• There is a concern that some staff are not following the current dog
  policy (allergies & food concerns, etc.), and some staff would like to
  see the rule tightened to include that they must stay within the staff
  member's classroom/area
• CHS current dog policy is that dogs are only allowed in the building
  on non-student days
• This may be discussed again at a later date... (probably)

Teachers Use of Office Copier

• Purchase another cheap copier for teachers that stays in the office or
  staff room?
• Allow teachers to copy during certain hours (before/after school)?
• The policy has been that the copy machine in the front office is for
  front office, counseling and career center business, and for teachers
  copying small quantities.
• It was suggested that if there is a teacher making copies and a front
  office/counseling/career center staff member needs the machine, the job
  could be interrupted. This and other ideas will be discussed at the
  next meeting.

Leadership:

Pep Assembly, Friday 9/17

• Keith presented the agenda and it was reviewed and approved. It was
  requested that we look into possibly moving pep assemblies to between
  the 3rd and 4th periods of the day to get the actual assembly closer to
  the activities they are trying to get the students "pumped up" for.
  They will wait to see how the assembly on Friday goes. This will be
  discussed at the next meeting.

Hello Dance

Tailgaters

• Before each Varsity Football game, Keith is coordinating a tailgater
