the retirement of Diane Kingsley. (Note: Mrs. Sweeney is shared with KCC) <br /> Mr. Bedard was hired to teach grade 3----a seventh section was needed. <br /> Ms. Martin has taken Mr. Bedard's grade 3 teacher position as a long-term substitute the <br /> result of Mr. Bedard's extended health-related absence.

Review SY10-11 School Improvement Plan Goal"10 minutes) <br /> Academic Achievement Goal—ELA; Academic Achievement Goal—Mathematics <br /> School Culture Goal—Safe and Respectful Learning Environment; Student Wellness Goal <br /> ■ We briefly reviewed the District's Strategic Plan--focusing on the student achievement goal. <br /> ■ We reviewed the SY 10-11 Quashnet School Improvement Plan(SIP)--focusing primarily on our <br /> student achievement goals. <br /> ■ We did not meet our SY10-11 SIP student achievement goals. Our measurement of progress as <br /> stated in our SIP is that 90% percent of all students who participated in the 2011 MCAS would <br /> achieve a score higher than that which they earned on their 2010 MCAS (both for ELA and <br /> Mathematics). In both subject areas we fell well below this target. <br /> 6. Overview of 2011 MCAS student perform ane"15 minutes) <br /> ■ This topic was discussed in conjunction with our review of the current Quashnet SIP. <br /> ■ We reviewed specific performance data and discussed the testing process and the test itself. <br /> ■ We know that our teachers and students are working hard and that our performance on the 2011 <br /> MCAS is disappointing but not the only measure of our students' learning and their academic <br /> growth. <br /> 7. Start process of developing SY11-12 SIP Goals—(20 minutes) <br /> Timeline—SIP (Present to School Committee at the early December meeting) <br /> Prior to our next meeting, Council members will review the current Quashnet SIP and will be <br /> thinking about changes we want to make for our SY11-12 School Improvement Plan. Council <br /> members are encouraged to email suggestions to me prior to our next meeting and to be ready at our <br /> next meeting to share recommendations. <br /> 8. Other <br /> Additional topics/ideas upon which you'd like the 11-12 Council to focus. <br /> (Exclusive from our SIP goals and budget-related items) <br /> A. Uniform student dress policy/school uniforms <br /> We briefly discussed last year's end-of-year parent survey regarding student uniforms at Quashnet. I <br /> will share the summarized data at our next meeting. All council members present support moving <br /> forward in the direction of developing a school uniform policy for Quashnet students. To gather <br /> additional data, we will conduct another survey of parents—probably through our web-based School <br /> Messenger system. <br /> SUBMITTED BY: Patricia DeBoer � --- <br /> October 9, 2011 <br />
