V.       REPORTS TO THE COUNCIL

A. Principal's Report by S Donahue.

None- had to leave

B. Student Report

none

C. Program Coordinator's Financial Report

D. Gamet explained that there has been no expenditures or change since the last meeting.

He explained that there was an ELL review of Consolidated. We did well except for records from previous years.

The Program Coordinator position is funded out of Title I funds. The ELL reviewer was surprised because a big part of the coordinator position does not have to do with Title I funding activity.

It was recommended that the Program Coordinator' salary would be changed to come from BOTH Title I and ELL funding. This would be SSC and board approved.

State budget cuts could be severe for education and could affect us greatly.

•VI.                   HEARING SECTION

None

VII.       ACTION ITEMS 

1. Approval of the Bylaws

Editing and Revising suggested. See Nov 6, 2008 draft and Nov 19, 2008 final copy.

1. removed

1. Approval of Class Time Release for QEIA Coordinator

When Ms. Ngissah and Ms. Decker went to SSC/QEIA training in Pomona, the ITA president suggested that the QEIA Coordinator have on period of release time.

The council needs written action that was not provided.

Ms. Mills said that the stipend was given based on time after school.  How much more work is it?  What duties have been added since Mr. Gamet did this position?

The stipend is more money.  When the position was posted to teachers the release time was not included in job description.

Have Mr. Lynum compile a list of his responsibilities and an action item.

1. removed
2. Approval of 5 hours per month extra duty pay for SSC Secretary and QEIA Secretary

This needs to be justified in the Single Plan. MS Ngissah and Ms. Baker will come up with addition to Single Plan and Action Item.  What is the justification?

VIII DISCUSION ITEMS

1. Working on Single Plan:  Has it been board approved? This needs to be found out.  If so we can make amendments
2. Jeff Miller to visit School Site Council:   Ms. Mills said that J. Miller's contract does not have a parent component. He gave us a suggestion for a parent "guru"
3. Family Involvement Network:  M. Hernandez not present....put on next agenda.

IX ANNOUNCEMENTS & COMMUNICATION

TO DO/RESPONSIBILITY:

1. Gamet : Healthy Beverage list- still waiting to here back
2. Mr. Donahue : Lunch line- There is not a lunch line. Students need to get in line in ample time and not play the whole lunch period.
3. Dance : Ms. Ngissah/ASB- No dirty Dancing signs were made and posted. Parent Chaperones were present.
4. Decker- Arrange for child care- still to do

M. Bautista asked about teacher arrest. Should we (parents) talk to our children about this and situation? Mr. Donahue said that the district, school and law enforcement has dealt with situation at hand. Just make sure to keep open communication with your child because the information came from the child to their parent and parent informed/reported the situation to the school.
