Meeting called to order at 5:30 pm

Approval of agenda: Nicole Selzer motions for approval. 2^nd by Audrey Atencio. Motion carried.

Approval of minutes: Motion to approve March 2008 minutes by Margaret Wiatrowski . 2^nd by Jillian Donahoo. Motion Carried.

Open Space Modification: The open space modification has been approved by the Board of Education which means that we will be closing early next year. A committee needs to be assembled to help with designs. Rhonda Toombs and Tracy Mayberry both volunteered for this committee. We will be meeting in the next couple of weeks after Cordelia meets with the staff to get staff volunteers for this committee as well. Next year the school day hours will be 7:45 – 2:45 to make up for the early closure.

Staffing: We are hoping to have four kindergarten teachers again but at this time it is dependent on numbers who register. There may be a need for four third grade teachers next year based on the large numbers of second graders in attendance this year. There may also be a need for four first grade teachers because of the number of students in kindergarten this year. 2.5 Educational Assistants will be lost for next school year.

DAAC: See Attached Minutes.

Parent Sounding Board: East Middle School is going to be the new math/science magnet opening for the 2008 – 09 school year. Many great D11 staff will move to this school and they are excited about the program they will be offering. For further reading please see attached minutes.

Security Information: Carrie Kohut reported that the security system at Jenkins cost $8,500 which included a buzzer for three doors, a camera, the two phones that run to the office, plus all staff’s ID. King will be looking into a similar security set-up.

Next Year’s Committee: Tracy Mayberry will be the Chairperson, Rhonda Toombs will be the Vice-Chairperson and Carol Nuss will be secretary next year.

New Business: No new business
