    VI.  Input and other items

    1. Heritage has been going through a lot of transition lately. Heritage will offer all-day kindergarten next year, and in two years, the DLI program will move to the magnet school at Spring Creek. In addition to these changes, there is active construction at Heritage. The parking lot will be removed over the summer. 

    2. Ms. Welker discussed the secondary path of the DLI program at a meeting last week. It is currently undecided if the DLI program will stay at South Cache or move to the new middle school. There will be a parent committee next school year to discuss this. Middle school boundaries are the same as the high school boundaries, so students at the new middle school will go to Ridgeline, and students at South Cache will go to Mountain Crest. The DLI program is currently at Ridgeline. Mountain Crest has AP Spanish, but it does not offer concurrent enrollment bridge classes. The council discussed how it is important for parents to know which secondary schools the DLI program will be at so that they can make decisions. Ms. Welker was told that the district would decide in about a year after exploring options. 

    3. There will be a PTA meeting on Friday at 9:30 in the art room. The PTA has a lot of activities at the end of the year.

    4. On Fridays, Ms. Clark conducts the Healthy Huskies program where essential elements students and another class in the school combine and do an athletic activity. Ms. Clark says it gives the students in the school a chance to interact, and it gives the essential element students a chance to take a break from working.

    5. The School Community Council committee members will be decided next year.

    VII. Motion to close meeting: Kendal Welker Second: Sara Anderson
