Chapter I. Trish Parolski reported on the cuts in the Chapter I program <br /> for FY96, indicating that services will be provided to first grade only next <br /> year. <br /> 2. Calendar. The Councils discussed proposed changes in next year's school <br /> calendar. We are waiting for Falmouth to release the results of its survey <br /> related to vacation periods. <br /> 3. Transportation. The councils reviewed the pros and cons of the suggested <br /> three-tiered transportation/school schedule for next year. The outline was <br /> for K-2,3-6, and 718 to all be on different attendance schedules. A number <br /> of difficulties were raised by Mr. Tippo regarding supervision and support <br /> coverage for various grades and activities. <br /> 4. We discussed the possibilities for scheduling parent conferences next <br /> year. Because Time and Learning requirements will require us to eliminate <br /> half days, consensus emerged that perhaps we could schedule two evening <br /> conferences in the fall from 6:00-8:00 P.M. Parents who would be unable to <br /> attend in the evening would be contacted by classroom teachers to schedule <br /> conferences at their mutual convenience. <br /> 5. Reor anization. Reorganization will mean that some adjustment might <br /> be made to the pupil/parent handbook. A few of the issues that were raised . <br /> as items to be worked on over the summer were sports, discipline, extra- <br /> curricular policies, and a clarification of the dispensing of medicines. <br /> The joint meeting ended at 8:00 P.M. and the Coombs School Council <br /> met briefly to look at the report card revision done by several teachers <br /> at the Coombs School. <br /> 4 <br />
