Our group reflected on YSC's 2006-2007 accomplishments school consultation which started in January 2007, monthly "Colonial Times" articles, on-going collaboration and coordination and community presence, 3 middle school half-day initiatives, and advocacy, which has led to really needing to look at the YSC's structure We spoke about still needing to flesh out use of the community calendar as a way to provide a centralized vehicle for posting youth and family wellness related programs Also spoke about needing new YSC representatives one more student, a mental health practitioner, and school administrator Helen mentioned that Linda Chase will be the new Director of Student Services Chantal will remain on the Council next academic year Norman mentioned the upcoming Selectman's goal setting. The group questioned and expressed ideas about the direction of Youth Services Whether, at some point, there is an additional position added to compliment the Youth and Family Services Coordinator's role, or there is the creation of the Department of Youth and Family Services, or non- profit agency, partially town-funded, the group expressed such importance to collaboration and information sharing. The advocacy/planning task force will be meeting with Carl Valente to talk about the community forum (possibly next Fall) Our next meeting will be September 5, 2007 from 3 00-4 OOpm—same place Enjoy your summer!!
