3. DEC Rep Vote
- There was a vote to elect a council member to be a representative on the Dresden Education Committee, which deals with policies related to the school.
- B Sachsse was voted to be the DEC Rep.
- Motion: I move to immediately form a committee of students, teachers and community members to address scheduling concerns.
- Discussion:
- It would be nice to have a committee separate from Council to look into scheduling options. There has been a lot of talk about scheduling changes, such as Plan M, Plan C, and the Late Start Motion.
- We should fail this motion and bring it back as a recommendation for Administration to create this committee. As it stands now if we pass this motion it will be a Council committee.
5. Notes & New Business
- Motion: I move to recommend that administration create a committee of students, teachers and community members to address scheduling concerns.
- Discussion:
- I would like to see this committee be bigger than Council. If administration does it then it can incorporate more outside representatives.
- This will allow the conversation about scheduling to go beyond Plan M and Plan C. It will be a standing committee which can further the discussion about scheduling.
