PARTICIPANTS: M.HARPER,L.SCHUKNECHT, J.GERBER, A.BROWN, M.MCCACHREN,
D.BRYSON, J. SHELDON, J.MOORE,C.MALTBYÉ.G.CHO. ON WAY BUT NEVER
ATTENDED.
M.HARPER: MR CHO JUST CALLED ME, HE IS ON HIS WAY BUT HE IS STUCK IN
TRAFFIC ON THE BAY BRIDGE
J.GALGANO: THE UBC HAS CONCERNS ABOUT THE PROPOSED FEBRUARY 8TH, 2008
PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT DAY SINCE THERE HAS BEEN NO DISCUSSION WITH
THE UBC ON THIS MATTER OTHER THAN YOUR, MR CHO, AND MY DISCUSSION
REGARDING BANKING MINUTES DAY FOR EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS, OR JANUARY
28TH, 2008 . THE UBC CONTIUES TO REQUEST A FULL DAY OF TRAING FOR ALL
STAFF IN THIS IMPORTANT AREA AND CONCERN.
M.HARPER: MR CHO IS LOOKING AT FEBRUARY 8TH, 2008 AS A GEAR UP
INSTRUCTIONAL STRATEGIES PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT WITH VISITACION
VALLEY. WE ALSO DID DISCUSS JANUARY 28TH,2008 OR ANOTHER DAY TO HOLD
EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS TRAINING WITH STAFF.
J.GERBER:JANUARY 28TH,IS A BAD TIME. IT IS A HOLIDAY AND MANY STAFF
HAVE PLANS AND WILL NOT BE ABLE TO ATTEND. IT WOULD BE BEST IF WE USED
THE BANKING MINUTES THAT WERE TALKED ABOUT TO HAVE SCHOOL CALLED OFF
AND ALL STAFF SHOW UP TO TRAIN,SO ALL STAFF ARE ABLE TO PARTICIAPTE IN
THIS.
M.HARPER: I UNDERSTAND YOUR CONCERN AND WILL COMMUNICATE IT TO MR CHO.
J.GERBER: IF THE BANKED MINUTES DAY IS OUT THEN THE UBC CONTINUES TO
REQUEST THAT THE FEBRUARY 8TH DATE BE RESERVED FOR THIS TRAINING ,SINCE
IT IS A MORE PRESSING MATTER , AS WE HAVE STATED MANY TIMES TO MR CHO
AND YOU ,THAN INSTRUCTIONAL STRATEGIES.
M.HARPER: I WILL COMMUNICATE YOUR CONCERN TO MR CHO.
J.GALGANO: MR HARPER I WANT TO REMIND YOU THAT MSTLI I IS A VOLUNTARY
PROGRAM AS STATED BY TOM RUIZ IN A SEPTEMBER 2006 MEMO. THIS WAS
SUPPOSED TO HAVE BEEN COMMUNICATED TO THE STAFF BY THE PRINCIPAL, BUT
IT NEVER HAS BEEN. ON THE JANUARY CALENDAR THIS WILL BE PLACED TO
REMIND STAFF. WE HAVE RECEIVED CONCERNS FROM FACULTY THAT IT IS BEING
REQUIRED AND THEY FEEL THEY HAVE TO PARTICIAPTE. ALSO PROFESSIONAL
DEVELOPMENT ACCORDING TO OUER CONTRACT AND THE SITE PLAN IS A SHARED
DECISION MAKING PROCESS , WHICH NEEDS TO BE RESOLVED THROUGH THIS
MEETING THIS HAS NOT BEEN DONE IN IS A CONCERN
M.HARPER:WHILE I AGREE IN PRINCIPLE I MUST STATE THAT GEAR UP IS
WORKING FOR THE 6TH GRADE, AND MR. CHO WANTS TO PROVIDE TRAINING FOR
TEACHERS THAT WILL HELP STUDENTS, BUT I I WILL COMMUNICATE THIS TO MR
CHO.
A.BROWN: THE INSTRUCTIONAL DEVELOPMENT STRATEGIES IDEA IS SOMETHING
WHICH SHOULD INCLUDE ALL STAFF AND BE DISCUSSED DURING DEPARTMENT AND
GRADE LEVEL MEETINGS , NOT JUST THROUGH GEAR UP.
M.HARPER: MS BROWN I UNDERSTAND YOUR CONCERN AND WILL COMMUNICATE IT TO
MR. CHO.
J.GALGANO: MR HARPER ANOTHER CONCERN IS WHAT HAPPENED THIS WEEK WITH
THE PRINCIPALÕS UNILATERAL DECISION TO CALL IN SUBSTITUTES , THREE
DAYS THIS WEEK FOR PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT NO STAFF WERE INFORMED OF
AHEAD OF TIME, THE UBC WAS NOT INFORMED OF NOR WAS THE TOPIC DISCUSSED
WITH US REGARDING THIS . THESE FUNDS ALSO REQUIRED SSC APPROVAL BUT IT
WAS NEVER COMMUNICATED TO THE SSC NOR APPROVED. MANY OF THESE SUBS
SPENT MOST OF THE DAY IN THE FACULTY LOUNGE OR WANDERED THE HALLWAYS
ACCORDING TO CERTIFICATED AND CLASSIFIED STAFF DURING THIS TIME, NOT A
VERY COST EFFFECTIVE USE OF OUR SITES FUNDS. I AM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT
THE EXPENDITURE OF OUR SITE FUNDS IN THIS WAY, ESPECIALLY SINCE ONE
MATH TEACHER REQUESTED PREVIOUSLY TO BE PROVIDED FUNDS TO ATTEND A MATH
SEMINAR FOR THREE DAYS WHICH WOULD HAVE BENEFITED ALL MATH TEACHERS ,
BUT WAS REFUSED THIS BY THE PRINCIPAL ,WHO STATED TO THEM THAT THERE
WERE NO FUNDS AVAILABLE TO ALLOW HIM TO DO THIS. WHAT WE HAVE HEARD
FROM SITE MGMT IS THAT WE NEEDED TO EXPEND THESE MONIES OR LOSE THEM
,THUS TO PROVIDE NERT TRAINING WE DID THIS. BUT NO FACULTY WERE EVER
INFORMED AHEAD OF TIME , AND COULD NOT ATTEND BECAUSE THEIR CURRICULA
HAD ALREADY BEEN PLANNED TO DO OTHER REQUIRED LESSONS.
M.HARPER:MR GALGANO I APPRECIATE YOUR CONCERN AND CAN ONLY REPLY I HAVE
NO DEFENSE FOR THE REQUEST AND USE OF THESE SUBS , TO PROVIDE COVERAGE
FOR NERT TRAING OF FACULTY. WE WERE NOT SURE THEY WOULD COME . WHEN THE
REQUEST WAS MADE WE WERE NOT SURE THE DISTRICT WOULD APPROVE THESE
FUNDS . BUT NERT TRAINING WAS DONE PARTIALLY WITH SOME STAFF DURUING
THIS TIME WITH A FEW TEACHERS.
J.GALGANO: WHILE I APPRECIATE YOUR EXPLANATION, I AM CONCERNED ABOUT
THIS UNILATERAL EXPENDITURE ,WHICH SHOULD HAVE BEEN USED TO ALLOW
TEACHERS TO ATTEND PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT FOR WHAT MGMT IS REQUESTING
US TO DO ON FEBRUARY 8TH.
M.HARPER: I AGREE THE DECISION WAS MADE WITHOUT USING THE SHARED
DECISION PROCESS
J.GALGANO: ANOTHER CONCERN WE HAVE SITE MGMTÕS CALLING TODAY FOR ,THIS
ODD CLASS SCHEDULE WE WERE NEVER INFORMED, THAT WOULD LEAD US TO GO TO
AN ASSEMBLY THROUGOUT THE SCHOOL DAY, PULLING OUR TEACHERS AND STUDENTS
FROM ACTIVITIES THAT HAVE BEEN PLANNNED. AS FAR AS WE KNEW AND WERE
PREPARED FOR WE WOULD BRING STUDENTS DURING 7TH PERIOD FOR PE TEACHER
PLANNED EVENTS. INSTEAD WE RECEIVED A MEMO IN OUR BOX THIS MORNING FOR
A SCHEDULE THAT WOULD DISRUPT OUR WHOLE SCHOOL DAY TO COVER OTHER
ACTIVITIES AND CONCERNS. ONCE AGAIN THIS WAS NEVER COMMUNICATED PRIOR
TO THIS TO FACULTY OR THE UBC AND ALL OF THIS HAS CREATED A LOT OF
CONCERN AND TENSION BY ITS OCCURRENCE.
M.HARPER: I AGREE THIS WAS NOT DONE THROUGH THE SHARED DECISION MAKING
PROCESS , BUT A SERIOUS INCIDENT OCCURRED WHICH ALL OF YOU MAY OR MAY
NOT HAVE HEARD ABOUT , BUT WHICH I CANNOT INFORM YOU OF WHICH WE FELT
NEEDED TO BE DEALT WITH.
J.GERBER: THIS IS NOT A GOOD TIME TO COVER THESE SERIOUS ISSUES WHICH
I AM NOT REALLY FULLY AWARE OF, WE ARE CELEBRATING THE END OF THE YEAR
AND IT IS A DAY BEFORE STUDENTS LEAVE FOR VACATION.WE SHOULD NOT HAVE A
SERIOUS CONCERN OF SUCH MATTERS AT THIS TIME. THIS IS NOT A TIME FOR A
SERIOUS CONVERSATION FOR WHATEVER HAPPENED.
M.HARPER: I AGREE THIS DECISION WAS NOT SHARED , BUT SINCE MR CHO IS
NOT HERE , I AM WILLING TO DO WHAT IS EVER REQUESTED TO RESOLVE THIS
MATTER. BUT I MUST TELL YOU THIS SCHEDULE WAS DEVELOPED TO DEAL WITH
SERIOUS MATTERS I AM UNABLE TO DISCUSS, BUT WHEN YOU ARE INFORMED ABOUT
ABOUT THEM, WILL UNDERSTAND THEIR SERIOUS NESS . THIS SCHEDULE YOU YOU
RECEIVED WAS IN RESPONSE TO THE SERIOUSNESS NATUERE OF THIS PROBLEM.
J.MOORE: I THINK WE SHOULD ADDRESS THESE ISSUES NOW
J.GALGANO: THIS NEW SCHEDULE WAS NOT DISCUSSED WITH FACULTY OR THE UBC
AHEAD OF TIME AND REALLY UPSET A LOT OF FACULTY ,WHO DO NOT NORMALLY
COMPLAIN TO US. ALSO THE WAY I READ IT IT DISRUPTS ALL TEACHERS PLANNED
SCHEDULES AND PLANNED LESSONS AND DOES NOT INCLUDE PREP TIME SCHEDULES
FOR TEACHERS.
M.HARPER: IF YOU WILL LOOK AT THE SCHEDULE , IT DOES PROVIDE FOR
TEACHER PREP TIMES.
J.SHELDON: I DO NOT AGREE WITH THAT IN REGARDS TO MY STUDENTS. I AM
SHORT STAFF AND WILL BE UNABLE TO HAVE A LUNCH OR PREP PERIOD WITH THIS
SCHEDULE. THE TIMES STATED ON THIS SHEET DO NOT COINCIDE WITH PREP
PERIODS AS I READ IT.
M.HARPER: I AM WILLING TO AGREE TO DEAL WITH THIS MATTER REGARDING ALL
YOUR CONCERNS AND WILL AGREE TO GO TO THE ORIGINAL PE CELEBRATION
SCHEDULE OR THE REGULAR DAY SCHEDULE IF YOU REQUEST IT , TO RESOLVE
YOUR CONCERNS .
C.MALTBY: PARAPROFESSIONALS WERE NEVER INFORMED OF ANY OF THIS AND OUR
SCHEDULES WERE NEVER ADDRESSED. WE WERE NEVER INCLUDED IN ANY OF THIS.
J.GALGANO:ALONG WITH THE CONCERNS AND SCHEDULES OF PARAPROFESSIONAL ,
THIS RUSHED UNILATERAL SCHEDULE DOES NOT TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION THE
LESSON PLANS FOR TEACHERS TODAY. AS AN EXAMPLE, I HAVE A BENCHMARK TEST
IN MATH SCHEDULED AND IT NEEDS TO BE COMPLETED TODAY FOR SOME OF
STUDENTS. THIS ALSO DOES NOT ADDRESS THE PLANS OF OTHER TEACHERS FOR
THIS DAY.
M.HARPER: MS MALTBY I APOLOGIZE FOR THAT OVERSIGHT, BUT WE WERE LOOKING
AT THE INCIDENT AND INCLUDING HARRASSMENT POLICIES .
A.BROWN:THIS MESSES OUR SCHEDULES AND IT DOES NOT FOLLOW OUR SHARED
DECISION MAKING PROCESS. WE NEED TO GO BACK TO THE ORIGINAL SCHEDULE OR
THE SCHEDULE WHICH THE PE TEACHERS PLANNED, WHICH WOULD BE GOOD FOR THE
STUDENTS. AND ALL OF US.
J.GALGANO: I AGRE AND REQUEST YOU RESOLVE THIS MATTER MR HARPER.
M.HARPER:I WILL DISCUSS THIS WITH MR CHO AND WE WILL ANNOUNCE OUR
DECISION.
J.GALGANO:MR. HARPER BEFORE WE LEAVE I WOULD LIKE TO PUT INTO THE
MINUTES SOME CONCERNS. THE UBC CANNOT AGREE TO ANY PROFESSIONAL
DEVELOPMENT DAY , UNTIL OUR REQUEST FOR EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS
TRAINING IS RESOLVED FOR ALL STAFF. WHEN IT IS AGREED TO WE WILL BE
BETTER ABLE TO RESOLVE THIS MATTER, BUT UNTIL THEN , WE DO NOT CONCUR
WITH ANY DATE FOR PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT IN JANUARY AND MUST ALSO
STATE THATE THAT ANY TOPIC MUST BE RESOLVED THROUGH THE UBC/ADM MEETING
WE WILL CONCUR ACCORDING TO OUR CONTRACT. AT OUR NEXT MEETING WE ALSO
MUST RESOLVE THE CONCERNS OF TEACHERS REGARDING THE READING/ELECTIVE
PERIOD ACCORDING TO OUR CONTRACT , SO THAT TEACHERS DO NOT COME UNDER
NO CHILD LEFT BEHIND REQUIREMENTS. THIS WAS NOT DONE AT THE BEGINNING
LAST JANUARY , AND THIS WAS COMMUNICATED TO MR CHO AND IT WAS ALSO
COMMUNICATED TO YOU AND MR CHO AT A FACULTY MEETING AND PREVIOUS
UBC/ADM MEETING. WE MUST RESOLVE THIS MATTER BEFORE THE NEW SEMESTER
BEGINS. TEACHERS DO NOT WANT TO GET LETTERS HOME REGARDING THIS AGAIN.
WE ALSO NEED YOU AND MR CHO TO REVIEW THE SCHOOL DISCIPLINE PLAN THE
FACULTY/UBC DEVELOPED AND APPROVED SO WE CAN ALL BE ON THE SAME PAGE
REGARDING ITS ENFORCEMENT AND THE IN HOUSE SUPSENSION ROOM AND OUR
UPCOMING DETENTION ROOM POLICY MUST BE DISCUSSED AND RESOLVED. I WANT
TO THANK YOU FOR YOUR PARTICIPATION IN THIS MEETING AND APOLOGIZE FOR
YOU TAKING THE BRUNT OF OUR COMMUNICATIONS.
M.HARPER: I APPRECIATE YOUR CONCERNS AND WILL COMMUNICATE THEM TO MR
CHO. A DECISION WILL BE MADE ON TODAYS SCHEDULE AND BE COMMUNICATED
DURING HOMEROOM.

,THUS TO PROVIDE NERT TRAINING WE DID THIS. BUT NO FACULTY WERE EVER
INFORMED AHEAD OF TIME , AND COULD NOT ATTEND BECAUSE THEIR CURRICULA
HAD ALREADY BEEN PLANNED TO DO OTHER REQUIRED LESSONS.
M.HARPER:MR GALGANO I APPRECIATE YOUR CONCERN AND CAN ONLY REPLY I HAVE
NO DEFENSE FOR THE REQUEST AND USE OF THESE SUBS , TO PROVIDE COVERAGE
FOR NERT TRAING OF FACULTY. WE WERE NOT SURE THEY WOULD COME . WHEN THE
REQUEST WAS MADE WE WERE NOT SURE THE DISTRICT WOULD APPROVE THESE
FUNDS . BUT NERT TRAINING WAS DONE PARTIALLY WITH SOME STAFF DURUING
THIS TIME WITH A FEW TEACHERS.
J.GALGANO: WHILE I APPRECIATE YOUR EXPLANATION, I AM CONCERNED ABOUT
THIS UNILATERAL EXPENDITURE ,WHICH SHOULD HAVE BEEN USED TO ALLOW
TEACHERS TO ATTEND PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT FOR WHAT MGMT IS REQUESTING
US TO DO ON FEBRUARY 8TH.
M.HARPER: I AGREE THE DECISION WAS MADE WITHOUT USING THE SHARED
DECISION PROCESS
J.GALGANO: ANOTHER CONCERN WE HAVE SITE MGMTÕS CALLING TODAY FOR ,THIS
ODD CLASS SCHEDULE WE WERE NEVER INFORMED, THAT WOULD LEAD US TO GO TO
AN ASSEMBLY THROUGOUT THE SCHOOL DAY, PULLING OUR TEACHERS AND STUDENTS
FROM ACTIVITIES THAT HAVE BEEN PLANNNED. AS FAR AS WE KNEW AND WERE
PREPARED FOR WE WOULD BRING STUDENTS DURING 7TH PERIOD FOR PE TEACHER
PLANNED EVENTS. INSTEAD WE RECEIVED A MEMO IN OUR BOX THIS MORNING FOR
A SCHEDULE THAT WOULD DISRUPT OUR WHOLE SCHOOL DAY TO COVER OTHER
ACTIVITIES AND CONCERNS. ONCE AGAIN THIS WAS NEVER COMMUNICATED PRIOR
TO THIS TO FACULTY OR THE UBC AND ALL OF THIS HAS CREATED A LOT OF
CONCERN AND TENSION BY ITS OCCURRENCE.
M.HARPER: I AGREE THIS WAS NOT DONE THROUGH THE SHARED DECISION MAKING
PROCESS , BUT A SERIOUS INCIDENT OCCURRED WHICH ALL OF YOU MAY OR MAY
NOT HAVE HEARD ABOUT , BUT WHICH I CANNOT INFORM YOU OF WHICH WE FELT
NEEDED TO BE DEALT WITH.
J.GERBER: THIS IS NOT A GOOD TIME TO COVER THESE SERIOUS ISSUES WHICH
I AM NOT REALLY FULLY AWARE OF, WE ARE CELEBRATING THE END OF THE YEAR
AND IT IS A DAY BEFORE STUDENTS LEAVE FOR VACATION.WE SHOULD NOT HAVE A
SERIOUS CONCERN OF SUCH MATTERS AT THIS TIME. THIS IS NOT A TIME FOR A
SERIOUS CONVERSATION FOR WHATEVER HAPPENED.
M.HARPER: I AGREE THIS DECISION WAS NOT SHARED , BUT SINCE MR CHO IS
NOT HERE , I AM WILLING TO DO WHAT IS EVER REQUESTED TO RESOLVE THIS
MATTER. BUT I MUST TELL YOU THIS SCHEDULE WAS DEVELOPED TO DEAL WITH
SERIOUS MATTERS I AM UNABLE TO DISCUSS, BUT WHEN YOU ARE INFORMED ABOUT
ABOUT THEM, WILL UNDERSTAND THEIR SERIOUS NESS . THIS SCHEDULE YOU YOU
RECEIVED WAS IN RESPONSE TO THE SERIOUSNESS NATUERE OF THIS PROBLEM.
J.MOORE: I THINK WE SHOULD ADDRESS THESE ISSUES NOW
J.GALGANO: THIS NEW SCHEDULE WAS NOT DISCUSSED WITH FACULTY OR THE UBC
AHEAD OF TIME AND REALLY UPSET A LOT OF FACULTY ,WHO DO NOT NORMALLY
COMPLAIN TO US. ALSO THE WAY I READ IT IT DISRUPTS ALL TEACHERS PLANNED
SCHEDULES AND PLANNED LESSONS AND DOES NOT INCLUDE PREP TIME SCHEDULES
FOR TEACHERS.
M.HARPER: IF YOU WILL LOOK AT THE SCHEDULE , IT DOES PROVIDE FOR
TEACHER PREP TIMES.
J.SHELDON: I DO NOT AGREE WITH THAT IN REGARDS TO MY STUDENTS. I AM
SHORT STAFF AND WILL BE UNABLE TO HAVE A LUNCH OR PREP PERIOD WITH THIS
SCHEDULE. THE TIMES STATED ON THIS SHEET DO NOT COINCIDE WITH PREP
PERIODS AS I READ IT.
M.HARPER: I AM WILLING TO AGREE TO DEAL WITH THIS MATTER REGARDING ALL
YOUR CONCERNS AND WILL AGREE TO GO TO THE ORIGINAL PE CELEBRATION
SCHEDULE OR THE REGULAR DAY SCHEDULE IF YOU REQUEST IT , TO RESOLVE
YOUR CONCERNS .
C.MALTBY: PARAPROFESSIONALS WERE NEVER INFORMED OF ANY OF THIS AND OUR
SCHEDULES WERE NEVER ADDRESSED. WE WERE NEVER INCLUDED IN ANY OF THIS.
J.GALGANO:ALONG WITH THE CONCERNS AND SCHEDULES OF PARAPROFESSIONAL ,
THIS RUSHED UNILATERAL SCHEDULE DOES NOT TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION THE
LESSON PLANS FOR TEACHERS TODAY. AS AN EXAMPLE, I HAVE A BENCHMARK TEST
IN MATH SCHEDULED AND IT NEEDS TO BE COMPLETED TODAY FOR SOME OF
STUDENTS. THIS ALSO DOES NOT ADDRESS THE PLANS OF OTHER TEACHERS FOR
THIS DAY.
M.HARPER: MS MALTBY I APOLOGIZE FOR THAT OVERSIGHT, BUT WE WERE LOOKING
AT THE INCIDENT AND INCLUDING HARRASSMENT POLICIES .
A.BROWN:THIS MESSES OUR SCHEDULES AND IT DOES NOT FOLLOW OUR SHARED
DECISION MAKING PROCESS. WE NEED TO GO BACK TO THE ORIGINAL SCHEDULE OR
THE SCHEDULE WHICH THE PE TEACHERS PLANNED, WHICH WOULD BE GOOD FOR THE
STUDENTS. AND ALL OF US.
J.GALGANO: I AGRE AND REQUEST YOU RESOLVE THIS MATTER MR HARPER.
M.HARPER:I WILL DISCUSS THIS WITH MR CHO AND WE WILL ANNOUNCE OUR
DECISION.
J.GALGANO:MR. HARPER BEFORE WE LEAVE I WOULD LIKE TO PUT INTO THE
MINUTES SOME CONCERNS. THE UBC CANNOT AGREE TO ANY PROFESSIONAL
DEVELOPMENT DAY , UNTIL OUR REQUEST FOR EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS
TRAINING IS RESOLVED FOR ALL STAFF. WHEN IT IS AGREED TO WE WILL BE
BETTER ABLE TO RESOLVE THIS MATTER, BUT UNTIL THEN , WE DO NOT CONCUR
WITH ANY DATE FOR PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT IN JANUARY AND MUST ALSO
STATE THATE THAT ANY TOPIC MUST BE RESOLVED THROUGH THE UBC/ADM MEETING
WE WILL CONCUR ACCORDING TO OUR CONTRACT. AT OUR NEXT MEETING WE ALSO
MUST RESOLVE THE CONCERNS OF TEACHERS REGARDING THE READING/ELECTIVE
PERIOD ACCORDING TO OUR CONTRACT , SO THAT TEACHERS DO NOT COME UNDER
NO CHILD LEFT BEHIND REQUIREMENTS. THIS WAS NOT DONE AT THE BEGINNING
LAST JANUARY , AND THIS WAS COMMUNICATED TO MR CHO AND IT WAS ALSO
COMMUNICATED TO YOU AND MR CHO AT A FACULTY MEETING AND PREVIOUS
UBC/ADM MEETING. WE MUST RESOLVE THIS MATTER BEFORE THE NEW SEMESTER
BEGINS. TEACHERS DO NOT WANT TO GET LETTERS HOME REGARDING THIS AGAIN.
WE ALSO NEED YOU AND MR CHO TO REVIEW THE SCHOOL DISCIPLINE PLAN THE
FACULTY/UBC DEVELOPED AND APPROVED SO WE CAN ALL BE ON THE SAME PAGE
REGARDING ITS ENFORCEMENT AND THE IN HOUSE SUPSENSION ROOM AND OUR
UPCOMING DETENTION ROOM POLICY MUST BE DISCUSSED AND RESOLVED. I WANT
TO THANK YOU FOR YOUR PARTICIPATION IN THIS MEETING AND APOLOGIZE FOR
YOU TAKING THE BRUNT OF OUR COMMUNICATIONS.
M.HARPER: I APPRECIATE YOUR CONCERNS AND WILL COMMUNICATE THEM TO MR
CHO. A DECISION WILL BE MADE ON TODAYS SCHEDULE AND BE COMMUNICATED
DURING HOMEROOM.
