OCTOBER PACK MEETING MINUTES
McKinny Vento
-Changes that will affect us at Carson
Students who bring their legal paperwork to come into Carson must be registered and enrolled the same day if they choose
Verified homeless family is not required to have all of their paperwork in and must be allowed to start the same day as well if they choose
Homeless is defined as anyone who for whatever reason enters into a temporary living situation (move out of home into a car or friend's house--in other words if they leave permanent housing into temporary housing qualifies them as homeless)
Professional Development
-Reviewed classes scheduled through district Pro Dev department for this year's LIC Wednesdays (principal directed). Four of the courses are set. The math standards course needs to be fit into our schedule as no dates were available that fit into our current LIC available dates. Math coaches will be contacted to confirm other potential date(s).
Interventions
-Check with teams to find out if there are any members who would like additional training from Vince Pecchia on our new reading interventions
-ELOs have been submitted by most grade levels. A few are requiring adjustments but it is important to get them in ASAP so we can compile and submit (due October 20th)
CSIP
Miles passed out and reviewed the contents of the CSIP plan generated in June 2008. PACK team members were asked to review the plan for further discussion at next month's PACK meeting.
Birthdays / Celebrations
The guidelines established by the June retreat were reviewed to share back to teams. Consistency among teams and following the recommended holidays chosen at the retreat were reviewed as well as a discussion on establishing some level of consensus on lessons/units that may carry on 3 days or longer. More time will be spent clarifying at team meetings and the upcoming staff meeting. Also, the district will be sending out the latest holiday and celebration guidelines via email.
