The meeting was called to order by Louise Ulan at 2:00 p.m. Mike Malecki made a motion that the minutes of the last meeting be approved and the motion was seconded by Pat Graff. There was a vote taken and the minutes were accepted and approved.

Lucia McKeeby reported that the balance in the treasury is $130.40. Lucia then asked about receiving the money that each school pays as part of their FAC dues. She was told to call Toni Lucas at the Diocesan office for that information. Robin Kirkner made a motion that the Treasurer’s Report be approved and Denise Difilippo seconded the motion. A vote was taken and the Treasurer’s Report was accepted and approved.

The representatives were told that there will be no November FAC meeting and that the next meeting will be on February 20, 2013. There was some discussion about the new salary guide and whether the school goal and individual goal will be part of that new guide.

Some members are confused about the sick day policy and Brother William asked them to please call Dennis Butler for clarification. There was some discussion concerning the number of members that attend the FAC meetings. It was suggested that a core group of FAC members be chosen to attend the meetings and disseminate the information to several schools. This would be a change from the present policy which allows each individual school to select their own FAC representative.

John Redavid made a motion that Robin Kirkner be elected the secretary for our group. Judy O’Sullivan seconded the motion and it was approved by the membership. A volunteer committee was named to review the Constitution of the Elementary Faculty Advisory Council. The members of this committee are: Brother William, Mike Malecki, Nancy Tworischuk, Louise Ulan, and Robin Kirkner. The remainder of the meeting was devoted to a discussion of what revisions in the Constitutions would be desirable.

Ann Tournoux made a motion that the meeting be adjourned, seconded by Linda Colananni. The meeting was adjourned at 3:10 p.m.

Respectfully submitted,

Robin Kirkner
