Agenda Items - OLD Business:
*Vote on Peer Coach/Staff Developer Position: It was Paul Sargent motioned, Georgina Lyon seconded, with unanimous vote to leave Bev Greco in the current position.
* Update on New Counselor: Dana Shelburne reported that the District hiring freeze in still in place and Pat Shaler will remain in the vacancy as long as possible.

4. Agenda Items - NEW Business:
* Changes in the Master Schedule for Second Semester: It was reported that there would be some changes, but mostly due to teacher movement. The senior AVID course is merging with the freshman class.
* Returning materials in a timely manner: Parents/students should address concerns to the teacher, as each teacher may have their own policy. If there is a concern, parents can also talk to the Administration.
* Policy for not returning math tests: Again, each teacher has their own policy. Concerns could be brought to the teacher individually.
* Recommendations for Budget Cuts: D. Shelburne explained the budget worksheet. Discussion followed and some recommendations made were:
* Cut employment outreach
* Use book fines and shabbier books
* Possible retirees
* Leave-term contract
* 6/5 for teachers
* All certificated people on campus should teach at least one class
* Cut small classes
* Don’t cut classes
8 ROP classes
Any additional ideas should be sent to D. Shelburne. He needs to send our plan in by Friday, January 30, 2004.

Meeting adjourned at 2:00
