HIGHLIGHTS FROM CPO NOVEMBER 2007 MEETING

CPO reported current balances of $3543.85 in savings and $1859.82 in checking.

Principal Report: The School Improvement plan is in need of updating. She will be working with staff on setting “smart goals” that will focus on student learning, with literacy as a key factor. This process also includes aligning Cheldelin’s vision with the Community Vision for schools and the District Improvement Plan. She highlighted the importance of regular school attendance in regards to student success. Her goal is to have 95% of students attending on a regular basis. Parents can help by keeping the school informed of their student’s appointments and working to schedule them outside of school hours whenever possible.

Dawn also updated CPO on the track program and is hopeful that the budget for track can be kept under $4,000. She emphasized
that supervision and communication with staff and parents would be key elements in the program.
