Review/Action of May 16, 2006: Notes approved, no changes made.
FAITH COMMUNITY:
Members discussed consolidation of with RFP and evangelization committee which was agreed we would consider a liaison person to attend quarterly meetings to create a communication link between committees. Further talk will take place when we return from summer break.
STUDENTS & STAFF:
Becky Dostal and Gary Milewski presented to the group their concerns they have with organizing a sub-committee; “Developing Committee”. Identifying the “Developing Committee” under Home & School or under the Education Committee has certain implications for either committee. It was agreed Mary Piasecki would speak with Home & School about making a list of goals, objectives and responsibilities of their own. This would further assist Becky Dostal & Gary Milewski in which committee would best suit their sub-committee. It was agreed we would have another in-depth discussion of the organization goals for the committee and how the development committee fits into either H&S or the Educ. Committee.
The School Needs/Parents Satisfaction Assessment survey which the group approved of earlier was mailed out May 19th family folder. Kiki Roth is yet putting together some survey data results and will have them available to the committee by the August meeting.
Mary Piasecki gave an update on the website and Mary Seyer added if anyone was interested they could attend the June 20th Parish Council Meeting in which there will be a presentation on the website.
Sere’ Leber inquired about morning and afternoon programs (such as book clubs, chess clubs, pottery and art classes, sewing/knitting etc) which was agreed we would further discuss at the next meeting and Sere’ would also contact Tricia Pieper who organizes the programs.
STEWARDSHIP:
The Committee reviewed a draft description of Roles and Responsibilities. Three topics were discussed: #1) What is the role of the Education Committee #2) What are the responsibilities of the Education Committee #3)What do you hope to accomplish over the next year. Each topic was reviewed in great detail with additional changes. It was agreed we would continue our work on this through out the summer and at next meeting August 15th.
