November+Meeting+Notes

__**Administrators-**__ present due to the fact that they must create a Parent Advisory Committee, all members are invited to come to these meetings. Next meeting is at 6:30 on December 2nd. Call 4109965499 if you would like to attend. We must discuss our views on safe schools and gang awareness. Detective Michael's will be in charge of this program. How do we fee l about the safe school programs. All schools have had fire drills. The Safe Schools Programs are the drills we do, how we deal with the safety of our schools, civil defense drills, resource officers, our risk management, how safe are we in conducting maintenance, and building hazards. A problem with Bo-manor is students and teachers are unaware of the different codes. Portables are at risk. The purpose is people being aware of what the drills are, there should be a announcement of which events include which alarms. Code Yellow means locking doors, but is business as usual, Code Red is locked down, and hide with lights off. Bo-manor is the only school with problems with knowing these drills, and precautions. School facility will drill themselves to fix the problems. The fault does not lie with teachers, and students, but the system must be fixed. The teachers have become so standard that teachers will not even bother to go over the drills when each class starts. Reminder must be made that every time we do this, that a set of eyes, and ears will be watching them. Because of all the school massacres,cultures must be created, were we must be more concerned, we have done that. There and no guarantees, the most important thing we must have in communication, it is needed. If you here something maybe a class mates distraught, take every comment and concern seriously. Information is starting to come to students and staff members, and we must make notice of this. We are only good with safety as.. we handle the next event. We haven’t talked or gone over who to go to about things. we must make notice. Rumors are a problem. We must establish trust between students and teachers. If a administrator can get just enough students to get comfortable with him, he or she will be fine, and he or she can base decisions off of that. If you can go to school the next day, following a threat, that proves, you trust the principal. The rumors origin must be punished and brought to justice. In most cases people who come to will be confidential, but in some cases, it can not be. News in the building will be kept quiet. Criminal cases and in court rarely happens, most business is done in school, and taken care of in school. Better routes in fire drills, or further distance from school. More space comes more responsibilities and concerns. Students as a whole do not want to be labeled as a “rat”, so they will not go to court and testify in the fear of loosing friends. It comes down to a sense of maturity. Cell phone policy concerns, you can not ban phones. Cell phone amnesty for 10 minutes if a code is called, to contact parents. Administrators will be a next meeting. __**Committees**__- All committees were established, with at least one officer in each committee. The organization Committee was disbanded due to the fact that ost thing involving organization, involves the advisors. This committee was then placed on only working on the Amending of the Constitution. All committee members met and started to brain storm ideas on what there committee should do.
