Parent Volunteers

Need more parents on the committee to have a full quorum
We cannot vote on any changes or positions without having more parents than teachers.

Training and Review:

Discussions:

Discussed having a technology night with parents to go over internet safety.
Parents and district tech support would be invited to attend
Committee thought January would be a good time since many students get new technology at Christmas. This could also be done again next September after school begins.

Trust Land Plan:

It was discussed to change the goal from “Benchmark” to “Pathways of Progress” in order to better identify student growth.
85% is still a lofty goal so we may want to amend the goal back to 75%.
Benchmark goal has not been met in the last 3 years.
We will review again in December when we have the required number of committee members to make a change.

New Charter School:

Discussed how the new charter school will affect Midland next year. It may have a positive effect on our overall school environment.

Next Meeting:
