Building Level Planning Team

Draft Minutes

October 6, 2005

 

Members present:   Lancto, Sutherland, Gideon, Murphy, Saxena, A., Saxena, P., Volin, Boolukos, McLoughlin, Tannenbaum

 

  1. Members introduced themselves.

 

  1. We reviewed the mission of the BLPT, and understood that its mission was to support student achievement and the implementation of school and district mission.  Its role is in an advisory capacity, and this advice is typically influential.

 

  1. We reviewed the proposal for signs indicating our status as a drug free, alcohol free, and tobacco free facility.  Members suggested that the Board of Education be noted at the bottom of the sign as the authors of this statement.  Davenport will review with Central Office.

 

  1. We scheduled our future meetings.  All will take place at 4:00 in the library and will last approximately one and a half hours.  The dates are:  October 27, December 1,  January 5,  February 2,  March 2,  March 30,  April 27,  May 25, and June 8.

 

  1. We discussed team objectives for this school year.  We agreed on limiting the number, and we agreed on the following tentative objectives:  review of the open campus policy, investigation of incorporating mentors into our upper level program of studies as well as adding to our hardware, developing positive recognition processes for students, and organizing an assembly “clearinghouse” to review and recommend assembly programs for students.  In addition, Davenport asked for the team’s help in reviewing the code of conduct and the program of studies.

 

  1. Volin will attempt to gather open campus data for our review; Lancto will investigate the feasibility of involving mentors in our program; all members will consider what sorts of positive behavior recognition processes to suggest at our next meeting.

 

  1. The meeting adjourned at 5:00 p.m.
