Subject: Parent Council meeting agenda for Tuesday, January 3



Greetings all and Happy New Year!  I hope you all have enjoyed a relaxing holiday season and have your mental and physical "batteries" recharged!

 

The Parent Council's initial meeting of 2006 coincides with the restart of the school year - Tuesday, January 3rd at 7:00pm in the County Office Building.  I have pasted in below the agenda for the meeting and hope that all schools will be represented.  You will note that we'll have two "idea exchange" discussions and dialogue on several important School Division issues.   If we stick to the time allocations on the agenda, we'll actually adjourn a bit earlier than usual.  So please plan to attend - thanks!

Agenda

 

 

 

1.     7:00 - 7:05pm        Announcements & Consent Agenda:

*         Approval of December 13, 2005 meeting minutes

   

2.  7:05 - 7:45pm        Idea Exchanges: 

A.  Programs targeted to parents/guardians

What programs have schools held this school year, and what is planned for the balance of the year?  What activities have been held in years past?  What has succeeded, and what has failed?

 

B.  Communicating with the School Community

>From websites to print & e-newsletters to "back pack mail", and via other means:  How do schools disseminate information to students' parents/guardians?  Also, what is the School Division doing that schools perhaps can leverage?

 

3.  7:45 - 8:30pm        School Division Report & Dialogue

*         2006-07 School Calendar options

*         2006 Budget - Review budget preparation & approval cycle.  Discuss the critical needs for consideration by the School Division.

*         Mid-year progress report

 

4.      8:30pm                  Reach consensus on February:

Hold regularly scheduled Parent Council meeting on Tuesday, February 7th?  Or, forego the monthly meeting in favor of the School Board's public hearing on the Superintendent's 2006 Funding Request on Wednesday, February 1st?
