      iii. Relational meeting – About 10 minutes were spent getting to know our fellow SAC members through a relational question.

 

b. Old Business Discussion:

      i. Future Funding of Catholic Education: At the town hall meeting where this topic was discussed, it was stated we would compile the information of all the discussion and suggestions.   It had been stated that no major changes would be made in the way our school is funded over the next year. This issue may go to survey for wider input. The Policy, Process, & Planning Committee is tasked with addressing this as part of their work plan next year.   John Ferraro will compose a letter to St. Clare families recapping the town hall’s talking points and all the ideas brought forward.

     

c. New Business: 

      i. Middle School class size – A thoughtful discussion occurred around increasing the class size in the middle school to accommodate more children (due to several families being interested). This policy needs further evaluation.  The Policy, Process, & Planning Committee will research this as part of their work plan for next year.
