1. Christy welcomed everyone and briefly explained what SCC does. Next month we will view the DVD's which will explain in more detail.
2. We voted on a chairperson—Amy Nobis Lori Roper was chosen as the Vice Chair. There is a training for Christy and Amy on October 6th or the 12th, whichever works best for your schedule.
3. PTA gave an update. It appears they have made approximately $7000 on the fund raiser so far and look forward to making more as it continues through November. They have also ordered the t-shirts for the kids. They are black and cost the PTA $5 each.
4. The spring program was discussed. We talked about what the original purpose of it was. We agreed it was to have a community event and a fundraiser. It was ultimately decided that those goals could be met with a fun run and it would be nice to have a change. We voted and it was unanimous. We thought that at the fun run it would be good to have a thermometer that we filled in as donations came in. It would be nice to be able to visualize how close we were getting to our goal. We then discussed how much money we would like. The school would like to be able to fund 3 field trips per class so we think $9000 would be great. Next month Christy will come with an accounting as to how much money the school with SCC support has been able to raise. Christy will also find out if SCC or the school is allowed to solicit donations.
5. The question was asked about our moving the school to the Butler Middle School site. We explained that the district is not even discussing that at this point but they will be informed as soon as it will be.
6. Christy updated everyone on the DI teachers. All is going well this year.
7. Christy explained about the safety issues that have taken place this past week. New fences and gates are going up and the district has requested an additional aid. All agreed that what we are doing is more than adequate. Some believe it might be overkill but most think it is just right.

School Community Council

6/2/11

The meeting was brought to order and an issue with the budget was discussed.  The PTA is no longer allowed to pay for Field Trips.  It was proposed by Sarah to have the PTA pay for Meet the Masters and the School Community Council pay for the fieldtrips.  For this year the cost is about the same.  Next year the Field trips will be more costly.  As an SCC we will look into how best fund that.  Other options will be examined.  Wendy made a motion that we accept Sarah’s proposal, Sarah second it.  Everyone agreed.  The meeting was then adjourned.

Members present:

Brian Kasteler

   9. PLTW—Teachers would do it.  Janet Goble at the district would be the contact although no elementary is currently doing it.  No idea about the cost.

1. Brian welcomed everyone
2. Rebecca motioned to accept the minutes from last month.  Lani seconded it.
3. STEM--Last year they were working on getting the U of U to bring a free program to the school that dealt with math.  They said Edy nixed it.  They don’t know why.  Kelly is going to look into it.  They believe it looked like a great program and was free.  I asked for contact information. PLTW; Ann had a pamphlet about this program and will look into it a little bit more.  It is Project Lead the Way.  We need more information to see exactly what it entails.
4. Annual Event—we are going to do some kind of race each year.  Amy is over this and would appreciate it if we had something in particular that we were raising money for.  The hardest part is getting it started but then we should be fine each year.
