Committee Reportes

Principal – SJN now has an approved Technology Plan; thanks to Carol Klinger, Dave Webb, and the technology committee; the plan received many positive comments from the Diocese; 2nd session of Spanish has begun; there will be a Spanish summer camp held at SJN; next year the Spanish program will follow the school calendar; Terra Nova results were distributed, all grades did very well in comparison to other schools in the region and diocese; most of our children meet or exceed the standards set by the public school system based on the ISAT test; discussion was held in regard to using this information to promote our school.

Teachers – Sherri read letter from SJN teachers requesting the budget discussion be an open meeting instead of being held in executive session; teachers feel they have valuable input to add to budget process; discussion was held; while board members value the teachers input the majority felt it was not appropriate for teachers to be present during the budget discussion because it may hinder open and honest discussion by board members; it was decided the budget discussion will be held in executive session per diocesan recommendations and Mr. Holmes will take information and areas of discussion for teacher input to the faculty meeting next week.
