APPROVED

Attending:  Lauren Poster – chair, Andy Reichsman – vice chair, Gussie Bartlett – Sec’y, Francie Marbury – Principal,

The meeting was called to order at 9:00 am.

The board met to consider whether to apply for stimulus funds available for the purchase of a new bus.  It was deemed that there was sufficient need for a bus to justify applying.  We directed Francie to submit an application for the grant.

The meeting adjourned at 9:30 am.

Respectfully submitted,

Andy Reichsman

Future Board Meetings:  Monday September 14th, 2009 at 6:00pm.

Our Guiding Principals:

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 second 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
