Committee Reports

Budget

There was a loss to the school of $113,000.00 using the Weighted Student Formula. This resulted in a loss of the following positions:

2 P.T.T, positions that were vacant will remain vacant.

1 F/T PSAP EA position was terminated. Employee as reassigned to the SPED department as a full time EA. Counselors will continue to provide services to the PSAP students.

1 F/T EA clerk for SSC was changed to .50 position. She was able to pick up the additional .50
at Hauula Elementary School as a PPT.

By the second count date, enrollment was up by 5 students. There was no further need to cut positions.

Decision was made not to cut PTT as they directly impact student achievement.

Safety
Sam handed out tentative schedule of major emergency drills for this school year. Our primary site for the office campus evacuation will be the fence closest to the Credit Union and our secondary site is still the Hongwaji. Will contact Civil Defense for help with our evacuation drill.

Student
PCC donated six (6) computers to our school. Student Government will be sending a letter of thanks.

Where will juice and cookies be served after the Super Raider assembly? There are a number of options:
1. Mari’s office
2. Main office
3. Room F-150

Looking for location that will be convenient for parents/students, for Mr. Waite and clean up.

Pins need to be ordered for next super raider assembly. Positive Promotions has nice buttons that you can hook on to your backpack. Will get information to Stacy so that they can be ordered in time for the October assembly.

Unfinished Business

Bazaar.
Donald was concerned regarding some complaints he received about the bazaar. Some complaints were about the distance that people had to go to get ride tickets. Script and ride ticket tent was in the front as people came in the bazaar but the complaint was that the rides were so far to that it was inconvenient to buy more tickets.

New Business

Playground Equipment
Playground equipment tentatively scheduled to be installed during the Winter Recess. Unable to work it into the Fall Recess.

We’re still looking for donations of concrete. Mari is checking. Two companies may be willing to give us a lower rate. We will need approximately 14 yards of concrete. Looking into accessibility to the area that the equipment will be installed. Pumping the concrete will be too expensive. Removing the fence between K-bldg and the district park may be the best solution.

Playground will have a rubberized surface over the concrete.

Hawaii 3Rs is stretching boundaries to include installing new playground equipment. Usually they only refurbish, repair existing items.

Announcements

Next meeting will be held on October 9th at 4:00p.m.

Adjournment

Having not further business the meeting was adjourned at 4:48 p.m.
