    Discussion Items

    1.  Review membership and elect a Chair and Vice Chair from the group.  

    • The team discussed the need for a new Chair and Vice Chair.  Sarah Grange agreed to be the Chair and Bobbie Leichty agreed to be the Vice Chair.

    2. Review the SIP Goals and Trustlands Plan.

    • We reviewed both plans so that the team was up to speed on the goals and the spending allocations of both plans.  We talked about the necessity for the school to focus on technology and getting us up to speed with the rest of the district in this realm.

    3. Review the SNAP Plan (safe routes) and talk about any possible changes.  

    • We discussed the changes that have been made to the drop off area and how that has increased the speed and flow of the area immensely and now we want to address the backed up area by 600 South and 600 East.  Sarah and Sarah were on the committee three years ago and agreed that back then the changes needed to be made to have all students exit the school on the east side, cross the street and then go west to cross to go into the heart of River Heights.  However, in the past three years the traffic and foot patterns have changed to the point where this may not be the best plan anymore.  The team agreed that the best thing to do would be to go to the corner in the afternoons for a week and collect data to see how many kids are crossing and where they are headed.  This data will be used to see if changing the walking plan would be safer and more effective.  Bobbie, Suzy and Stacie will collect data and get back to the group on their findings.

    4.  Remind everyone that the virtual training will be on October 4th.
