Minutes for the February 11th, 2007 Duveneck Site Council Meeting – This is a continuation of the February 5th meeting, due to unfinished survey discussion
Members in attendance: Ching-wen Miron, Sarah Sands, Kathy Thibault, Kathleen Meagher, Diane Gosney, Linda van Gelder, Heidi Mickelsen, Al Yuen, Jon Foster, Mark Robbins, Esther Yoon.
Guest in attendance: Doug Burress
Agenda Items:
Diane Gosney noted that the Asia Fantasia event feedback from one class was very favorable and she showed a thank you card from the class.
Discussion of 2008 Survey: Continued clarification of Duveneck survey.
PIE question – It was suggested that we put a “please comment” section on this survey to determine why people do NOT participate. In addition we will put several choices for reason why families did not participate.
Duveneck partnership question – put a sentence in front to explain what it is and ask whether parents have experienced the Duveneck partnership. Change “do you believe” to “do you find.”
Add one last comment box – “Do you have any additional comments about your family’s experience at Duveneck?”
Changed the last question to “would you be willing to be contacted.”
There was a long discussion around whether we should include a question regarding after-school programs. A concern was expressed that if we put in such a question, there would be an expectation that Duveneck would act on any deficiencies. As a result the site council decided not to put in a question about after-school programs. There was also concern expressed that including such a question may send a message to parents that they should send their children to after school programs. The SSC does not want to create stress or misconception in the community by posing that kind of question.
ACTION ITEMS: Diane and Heidi will contact the parents that requested this question to be added and give them our feedback and conclusion. They will also let Soma Mitra and Giselle Galper know that their concerns will be addressed at a future SSC meeting that will occur after the Math Curriculum Night.
Targeting March 7th as the deadline for the surveys to be completed (flyer will go out this Friday, 2/22/08).
Agenda Suggestions for Next Meeting
Kathleen passed out suggested survey questions for teachers and one for students for all to review for the next meeting.
Meeting was adjourned.
