A.        Analysis of  2006-2007 AFP

            Heather shared the Quarterly Progress Report for this year.  The school is working towards completing the enabling activities.   Quarterly Assessment: 378 students were tested in Reading for grades 3, 4, 5 and 372 tested in Math.  The result is a formative assessment for teachers to use to measure what students have learned and need to learn.  The assessment result is not meant to be summative.  There were no objections to the 2^nd Qtr report with the understanding that there are two more quarters to review the progress.  The problem being that the following year’s AFP was developed and submitted to the CAS without benefit of knowing whether the current year’s plans are moving the school in the right direction.

            Questions raised:   How many students are involved in this Quarterly Assesment?  100 percent of the students.

            What is the status for each of the goals being targeted; what is the game plan or scheduled completion date; where is the school at? 

 Timeline is one year.

B.                 Member Orientation-New SCC Handbook II

            Revision to the School Community Council handbook was passed out.  An orientation of the Handbook II was conducted by Eric using a detailed outline of the important aspects of the handbook.

D.                Waiver Day Changes

            The council unanimously approved the waiver day changes.  With the revised school calendar for 2007-2008, school will begin 2 days later.  Waiver days will be held on July 26^th and 27^th with the students reporting on August 1.
