Minutes – School board meeting 6/21/10 APPROVED
Attending: Lauren Poster – Chair, Gussie Bartlett – Vice Chair, Jen Carr – Clerk, Francie Marbury – Principal, Steven John – Superintendent, Gail Chaine – Administrator
The meeting was called to order by Lauren at 8:30am.
We discussed pre-school issues. We will go with the same budget formula we are currently using and look at possibly changing the formula in the next budget year.
Celena Lundsted joined the meeting at 9am.
Celena gave the Board information about the Healthy Snack program. The program is successful and has doubled in size. With this increased food service, our school kitchen needs to be brought up to code.
Jen made a motion to authorize Gail Chaine to work with Celena’s support on undertaking a bid process for making the necessary upgrades to the kitchen this summer. Lauren seconded the motion. Motion passed.
Lauren made a motion to authorize Gail Chaine to use up to $500 from the Capitol Improvement Reserve to move the printer station and relocate the water fountain.
Principal’s report attached.
Respectfully submitted,
Jen Carr
Our Guiding Principles:
Students will be at the center of our decision-making.
We will keep to the agenda.
The chair will estimate the amount of time necessary for each item
and act as timekeeper during the meeting.
Every voice is heard as discussion goes back and forth.
Decisions will not be made hastily.
We will ask ourselves, “What other information do we need
in order to make a thoughtful decision?”
Decisions/discussion will be recapped before moving on to a new item.
Items requiring action will be identified and we will note who is responsible for each action item.
Follow through will occur before the next meeting.
We will use e-mail judiciously to communicate between meetings.
Implementation Guidelines:
Meetings will be held on the first Monday of each month with the fourth Monday
kept in reserve, if an additional meeting is needed.
The chair will send out the agenda the Thursday before the meeting.
The meetings will start at 6 pm and go no later than 9 pm.
