It will meet once a month. The SLT plans to start meeting in January.

The Professional Development committee will be a sub-committee of the SLT.

The CSC will still exist and it will approve the work done by the SLT.

Action: Teachers need to think on whether they want to be a part of the SLT.

Agenda item: Bully Prevention
Presenter: Lisa Pisciotta
Discussion: Olweus Bullying Prevention is the only district program about bullying. Male bullies typically start verbally before physically. Handout included data about criminals with convictions had bullied in school. Our school is a good tight knit community that would take to this program well. It is helpful to get student voice to help make the program successful. It would take 4 hours to train faculty. Nena mentioned that in a school she'd been at, with the program that it brought more bullying because more people were aware of it. Diana suggested get students involved in the initial training and not just teachers.
Action: Get a core group of 8 together to get the initial training
Person Responsible: Dan Lutz
Deadline: within the next day or so to decide

Notetaker: Misa Williams
