Enrollment be and wellness support each received 8 of the tickets. There were requests for academic support and food and Nutrition Services. Big props to the team for developing this resource link. We know it is well used. We know that in these times and as we move forward with our Distance Learning, this will continue to be a used resource. We thank the team for all they are doing to make this happen. Beginning with monday, april 27, it will be limited to four bags per person to serve as many children as possible. We realize that this is another service that is provided. We want to make sure as many of our children that we can cover we get covered. There will be a limit of four bags per person. Adults are required to wear Face Covering when waiting in line or picking up bags. The location for the meals go to our website and we also have a link on the same website in the city to also get food resources. Also, you can call 311 for more information.

Yesterday we learned about title ix and our rights when facing discrimination or harassment and how to handle the situations. Our goal is for more information check out the email and we also posted the presentation yesterday on the website. We would like to announce the office of equity is hosting a competition for students to create a design poster on sexual harassment. It is on the social media and there are prizes. We would like to thank the two for presenting. Grading policies. Discussion regarding grading policies. Our survey was successful. Our target goal over 5,000 students to communicate to the Leadership Team to the Advisory Council. 5461 students participated in the survey. After reviewing the data, our team conducted a focus group and emphasized the finding and concluded on recommendations. The overall consensus is to ensure there is priority for the courses they currently are enrolled in during difficult time. Our recommendation to the board would be to implement a pass or optional credit or no credit. So no students are punished. Students can fill out the option to raise the grade and have it reflected in the gpa and provide an incentive to work hard in classes. This would mean no students would be negatively affected or further disadvantaged. Students below 70 will not be required to cover the credits for graduation but would be given the recommendation every enrollment. It was the Wellness Center for students in need of council and support. At our meeting the Program Administrator for the School Health programs presented our team about the current efforts our wellness efforts are providing to the district. To provide feedback and recommendations for better outreach and we wil we will cono communicate to our peers that these are present. Thank you christine hardeman. We had the First Reading of the draft resolution. Our last meeting we read the draft resolution to reallocate education funds back. We will be having the second reading at the next meeting. We would like to thank the team for working hard on this resolution. Our next meeting will be on monday, may 4th at 3 00 p. M. Via zoom. Thank you. That concludes our report.
