Present: Deirdre, Angie, Whitney, Alice, Chai’enne, Marie, Jacy, Laura
Notetaker: Marie
Agenda:
- Debrief how things are going at school
- Discuss EEF grant proposals
- No current EEF grant proposals i.e. field trips but most purchases have been covered mostly through school’s budget already
- $5,000 max – every year, we have applied for this and we have gotten funded (field trips usually)
- Laura – possible field trip with construction, water, lots of opportunity for cross/multi-discipline experiences
- Possibly classroom libraries?
- Reminder to staff needed, so we can meet next round’s deadline (in fall)
- https://eeflane.org/2020-21-grant-application-cycle/
- Artist in Residence has also been funded
- Election planning
- Alice and Marie are at 2-year term, Angie will be on until 2022, Whitney and Chai’enne are year 1, Jacy is at 2-year term. Need elections for position 3 (Alice), 4 (Marie), Parent Position (Jacy)
- Timing of elections – how to include kinder parents plus get parents engaged early. Fall = parent voting/interest
- Staff elections-
- May 12: Let Deirdre know if they are interested in serving
- May 19: Google Form opens
- May 26: Voting closes
- First steps toward creating a yearlong event calendar.
- Helpful for advance planning and selecting dates with parent input
- Family Engagement/Events – Chai’enne shared great monthly engagement event ideas from previous school
- Angie, Alice, Marie, Jacy: sub-committee
Next time: May 24, ESSA review, possibly no June meeting or we can make last meeting into off-campus meet-up on June 7
