The following is a summary of discussion/action(s) taken on the above-checked items:

1. Review Single Plan for Student Achievement (SPSA) 2013-14

Mr. Raygoza reviewed Hatha Parish’s comments on our SPSA 2013-14. He discussed the importance of identifying sources of funding for all proposals.

2. Single Plan for Student Achievement (SPSA) 2014-15

Mr. Raygoza asked attendees to discuss the priorities that they feel are most important looking ahead to the SPSA 2014-15.

Mr. Bedell expressed that we need to engage more parents and really need to ask ourselves what we currently offer to our students’ families as opportunities to be involved.

Mr. Raygoza mentioned that currently parents have to get finger-printed to volunteer on campus and this may be a burden for some parents: Mr. Taylor and Ms. Mathews suggested that our school or district should cover the cost.

Ms. Mathews shared that we should consider having a Dinner night where different groups on campus donate food and we have an informal meeting between administrators, staff, and parents.

Parent Input/Advice/Comments:

Ms. Mathews provided options for parent engagement and also stated the importance in finding ways to engage parents with no cost to them.

VI. Adjournment: 4:10 PM

Respectfully submitted,

Juan Raygoza
