Review of Annual Meeting
Thanks for the budget!
Next year will continue to challenge us.
We will look for ways to get the parents/families/community more involved – any ideas are welcome.

Primary Wing Renovation
Bob reviewed the architectural plan at a high level
Construction estimates for time continue to be developed.
Bob anticipates that we will vacate the primary wing by June 1st; it is likely that we will need to make arrangements for alternative space in the fall.
Bob and the construction team are evaluating options to minimize the effect of construction.
Bob is expecting to have a more solid construction schedule in the coming weeks.
April vacation is late this year – placement will begin sooner than later to avoid scheduling conflicts and confusion caused by the construction.

Discussion of Draft by Laws for our Parent Group and next steps
Model of parent/family/community group is similar to Williston.
Challenge of any group is making it sustainable – at this time, it is questionable that we have the numbers to create this group and make it sustainable.

Parent group might be a collaborative network including a number of established groups at its core: ELF, enrichment, playground committee, mentors, volunteer corner, Classroom Parents, Hinesburg Recreation, Hinesburg Friends of Families…and others. This group may act as a clearing house of sorts between families, classrooms, volunteers and other community resources. This represents a shift in thinking about the new group… We will continue discussions next meeting and make an effort invite/reach out to these various groups.

April meeting dates and times:
April 19 @ 6:30 PM
April 20 @ 8:30 PM
During April meeting we will review schoolwide student performance data and discuss the goal setting procedures for the HCS Action Plan.
