Open Forum / Morrison suggested that math books be purchased with some of the SAC money. Dailey commented that teachers are using Engage New York for math and that they do not have any books.
Morrison commented that parents do not know how to assist their students in studying because they do not have books, outlines, etc. She also requested paper copies of tests so that they can see how their child did on the test. Dailey let the parents know that the science test can be seen in schoology throughout the entire unit so parents will know what their child needs to study. Students can also pull up the test on schoology and show their parents what questions they got right or wrong. Williams will look into the situation.
Morrison requested that all student athletes and parents needed to be required to attend the Drug Prevention Progam and next year it should not be scheduled for a game night.
Reaves mentioned that she would like students to make invitations to the Title 1 nights. Dailey responded that it could be done during KU.
Reaves discussed that the county will be present at the Drug Prevention night. Food will be provided by Dominoes. Reaves would like to find a way to showcase student work at the Title 1 events.
Adjournment / A motion to adjourn was made at 5:21 pm by Monahan and seconded by Dailey.
