SEPAC /SEPTA Business meeting minutes 4/27/2015 Attending; Jenn Yaar, Robin Abrams, Deborah Osber, Michelle Dardeno, Mona Roy, Carol Millard, Kevin Johnson, Ann Wolf Call to order 12:09 1. LHS Aspen online student progress updates. Beginning Q3 assessment and grade information is available mid - Quarter on the Aspen Portal. The SEPAC and a previous school committee subcommittee recommendation to LPS administration was that teachers provide a biweekly update of student progress. The recommendation of the SEPAC at this time is for parents of students on IEP's and 504 for whom this would be appropriate to have the biweekly progress update written into the child's education plan. SEPAC is going to ask SED Ellen Sugita to send home a letter with this information to those students at the LHS on IEP and 504 plans. 2. Treasures report given by Barbara White. Balance is $ 2,610.34. Treasurers report was approved. Treasurer is going to look for a new bank that won't charge a fee as Citizens Bank has started charging the account. 3.
