Meeting Notes 10/15/09

Nurse Shelley informing parent about the Flu Clinic on 10/31/09 and 12/4/09.
• Asking for parent volunteers with the logistics (managing the kids, observations after the shots, etc)
• It is important that parents know that if students refuse to be vaccinated they will get a card to take home to the parents for notification.
• Discussions of side effects; mild to severe.
• For additional information, parents are encouraged to contact the school, CDC or school administration.

Primary School Wing Renovation:
• Bond vote on 11/3/09
• Pre-vote meeting on 11/2/09, Music Room at HCS.
• Alert-Now will be used to remind school members and families.

Draft of Parent Group By-Laws:
• It is draft-form only (based upon models from other CSSU schools)
• Draft will be published in the Viking.
• Hope is that group will be organized in early January. Fluid model, sustainable.

Web-site update:
• November launching.
• Sustainable and make sure that the site is something that can be updated and current.

My Lunch Money:
• Positive parent feedback.

Budget Update:
• $250,000 reduction needed. School will discuss how these reductions can take place while maintaining high academic standards for all students. Administration views this as an opportunity to streamline systems to promote efficiency with resources.
• Enrollment for next year is flat (same number of kids as this year).
• State revenues also flat next year.
• Birth-rate projections forecast additional decline in population for HCS in the near future.
