Present: Linda Kissane, Roger Wells, John Etu, Nick Round, Karen Pound, Carol Heller, Sue Mellon, Dave Eagle

 

I. Constituent Feedback:

Nutrition and Physical Policy - Dave will update Lynn on several changes concerning the terminology and language of several statements. The intent of the policy is to make "healthier choices." Dave mentioned the purchase of new equipment and the weight lifting room update.

 

Cafeteria use during the morning - a concern was brought up regarding students being late to class due to visits to the cafeteria. Dave reminded faculty that students should be punctual to class and it is up to the faculty to maintain a learning environment and limit the snacks.

 

Graduate Descriptor Brochure - Dave will have the brochure updated and forward it to Forum members. This will help us to prioritize some goals for next year.

 

Fundraising - John Etu presented an informative power point presentation which the Student Council Fundraising Committee has been working on. This plan will consist of distributing ‘blocks’ to various clubs and classes. They will be assigned approximately 2 blocks of time to sponsor a fundraiser. Certain fundraisers are designated to a particular group (i.e. 10th grade/ Americade car wash). The group hopes to initiate this policy at the June activities calendar meeting. Forum members will receive this power point to discuss with constituents.

 

 

II. Technology Plan - Brian Clements asked Forum to approve the Technology Plan. He has received updated plans from each Department and has compiled a multi-page report which can be accessed on the LG website.

 

III. End of the year - Awards and exam schedules have been sent out. Tentative meeting for calendar events is June 21.
