Acme Steering Committee Minutes

January 12, 2000

Members Present: Trina Hall, Kim Sutherland, Erika Alexander, Ellyn Erickson, Bob Baker, Chris Murray

New Items:

1. Barbara Tanis was recognized for her dedication to the ASC. She has resigned due to personal reasons.
2. Ellyn reviewed the letter sent to families to recruit additional ASC members. She has not yet had any response from the letters. There has been one parent who has inquired about being a part of the ASC. A note will be put in the Monday notes to remind parents.
3. A concern was placed in the box from a para-educator which addressed the 5^th/6^th grade rainy day recess. Their lunches are broken up between lunch, recess, and study hall. For the last 20 minutes of their "lunch block" all students are at recess. Solution has already been solved….for rainy days, they will be in the gym playing games and doing quite activities.
4. The students' behavior at the Boys & Club is still unacceptable, especially in the library. The students are not following the same guidelines as they do during the day. One possible solution is to have some "training" for the Boys & Girls Club staff member. The big problem seems to be the lack of consequences for kids when they do not follow the rules. Ellyn will do an email to the staff for more specific feedback addressed at building safety and child safety. She will then invite Mike Baker & Audrey to the ASC meeting on January 26^th to communicate the feedback. We will use that meeting as a problem solving session because we do support the Boys & Girls Club being here at Acme.
5. We made a list of all of the items that need to be done before the end of the year and then placed them on the calendar for our upcoming meetings. We have a general timeframe of what we're going to do:
