AES K-5 BAC meeting (1/19)

The Alamosa Elementary School Building Accountability Committee met on January 19, 2012. There were 9 BAC members present, including two first time attendees.

Items of discussion:

- Third party review of Neenan Company/school construction results due early next week. There are some issues that will need to be addressed but our schools are safe.

- TCAP testing: 3^rd grade Reading TCAP will be February 28-29. All other TCAP testing will be conducted March 12-30.

- Lunch period: Lori Smith is gathering data. Problem seems to be primarily with K-2 middle lunch period (200 1^st graders). Additional tables with seating for approximately 48 students have been ordered. Specials & select classes will go to lunch 5 minutes earlier. Lori will continue to monitor & collect data.

- AES Student Handbook is still not available on district web site.

- Gravel for overflow parking lot was readdressed as issue does not appear on BOE meeting minutes of 11/28. This will be forwarded to DAC and back to BOE for further action.

The next AES Building Accountability Committee meeting will be on February 23^rd at 5:15pm.

AES Student Handbook can be found on the A-PAGE blog.

AES K-5 BAC meeting (12/08)

The Alamosa Elementary School Building Accountability Committee met on 12/8/11.

Items that were forwarded to the District Accountability Committee:
- Recommendation to discontinue purchase of bottled water for teachers and staff has been implemented.
- Using overflow parking lot for drop off/pick up of 3-5: a teacher has already been designated to this area to insure that students safely cross bus lane.
- Gravel for overflow parking lot: forwarded to school board.

New/Ongoing items:
- Lunch period: parent phone calls to others schools in SLV determined that AES serves more students in less time than any other school in SLV. Discussed possibility of additional serving lines to allow for longer "eating" time.
- Parent/teacher communication: parents not receiving (or not receiving in timely manner) information about school activities such as honor choir and science fair.
- Student handbook: AES student handbook was not available at registration in August. Was to be available online but, as of 12/8, is not. Ms. Christy provided a hard copy and stated that it would be available online soon.

Next BAC meeting is January 19, 2012 at 5:15pm.
