Cameras in School - This is in the process and may become a reality this year.

Identification Signs - It was agreed by the committee that they would like to have them if possible this year.

Blue Lines - Bob Ptak suggested that they be at the bottom of the stairways and discussed some of the problems.

Parking Lot - Committee would still assigned parking in the faculty parking lot.

Positive Happenings this Year:

1. Attendance is better

2. Teachers in the hallways and the dress code seems to be working quite well

3. Barb Morse broke up a fight and the students never argued with her, just followed her to the office.

4. Tardies have improved, and the language has improved

5. Songs in the morning are well-liked and the names being drawn for perfect attendance with a reward is a positive thing.

The next scheduled meeting will be held Wednesday, October 2 @ 2:20 p.m. in the Library. Please bring handbooks to meeting as we will be reviewing current policies.
