Subject: • Minutes of 6/9/05 Meeting
June 9 , 2005 School Council Meeting
Present:
Lynne Stinson, Janet Lane, Reem Yared, Jessie Steigerwald, MJ Weinstein,
Diana Partyka, Tammy Mulligan, Marcia Zichatella
Steve Adler begins work on July 1. He has come to several meetings and
attended an all School Meeting. He has been involved in the hiring of a few
staff people, he has met with Jenn Clifford and Lynne Stinson. Hastings
Staff have meet to prepare a statement of the traditions and routines they
hope will be preserved under his new administration, and this was sent to
Steve.
The 2005/6 School Council Goals will not be used as a job performance
measure for Steve's first year at Hastings. They are a guide to tell him
what parents and staff in the School Council felt were key issues for the
year. There is no funding to implement any recommendations, so they School
Improvement Goals are not mandates.
The council went over drafts of school Improvement goals written by
delegated members. We will revise these as a "final" version for Lynne
Stinson's review. Lynne will make sure the final document goes to Steve
Adler. Janet Lane will coalate them and make sure they are put into a
unified format to make for easier reading. We discussed a goal of building
better community support for the children attending Hastings but living in
Boston and supporting the ongoing work of the Asian families committee, but
it was decided that this work was already ongoing through the Anti -Bias
committee, which was an outgrowth of School Council.
The 2005/6 School Improvement Goals are as follows:
- Respecting and Understanding Learning Differences, by Susan Campbell
- Differenciated Instruction in Math, by Tammy Mulligan
- Improving Communication between Parents, Teachers and School
Administration, by Tammy Mulligan
- Implementing Open Circle and Building Social Competency, by Diana Partyka
- Improving Parking and Safety procedures, byDiana Partyka
- Health , including three subsections:
a) Air Quality, participating in the townwide Tools for Schools

b) Improving School Lunch, by Reem Yared
c) Encouraging Physical Activity: by Janet Lane
Due to the very heavy work load of a Principal preparing for retirement, we
decided not to schedule a final meeting date and to try to accomplish
finalizing the school improvement goals through email. Revisions of these
final goals should be submitted to Janet Lane by Tueday, June 14.
