<b>1. Call to order</b><br />

Julie Rottmayer, Debbie Ramirez, Marc Urbaitel, Kelly Burghardt, Mark Allen, Debbie Drehmel, Andrea Schmitz, Lisa<br />
Gonzalez, Megan Sorensen<br />
<br />
<b>2. Community Report</b><br />
Introductions were made and everyone shared what brought them to SEF, their children and how long<br />
they’ve been a part of SEF. Board members identified, guests welcomed.<br />
<br />
<b>3. Approval of minutes</b><br />
1st - Marc Urbaitel 2nd- Mark Allen<br />
<br />
<b>4. Treasurers Report</b><br />
a) Financial Report – See P & L and Balance Sheets<br />
b) Distribution Report - See P & L and Balance Sheets<br />
<br />
<b>5. Board Members and Officers</b><br />
a) New Board Members/Board Offices<br />
3 new board positions that SEF board would like to add:<br />
Communication Coordinator,<br />
Volunteer Coordinator,<br />
Business Partnership Coordinator.<br />
<br />
Lisa, Megan & Andy will meet to develop descriptions on what these roles look like.<br />
Lisa makes a motion for Marc/Lynnsey Urbaitel to join board and serve as Communication Coordinator. Megan seconds the motion. Unanimous approval.<br />
<br />
<b>6. Organization of SEF/PC</b><br />
Meg Mizutani shared the history of how allocations have been made for the last ~7years. Discussion followed on what a new funding formula(s) could look like. Conversation around sharing info through site council and making decisions on spending could be a positive change. LCAP/LCFF review. Would targeted donations earn more money? SEF would like to identify a “theme” or mission to clarify where funds are going.<br />
<br />
Conversation around using Site Council as a vehicle for distribution. Site Council would identify areas of need for each school and money from SEF could be allocated for them. Many members were interested in moving forward in favor of that model, however, Debbie Hanks will first research the legalities and Ed Code issues around it. We need to verify Site Council can be responsible for that. More to follow next month.<br />
<br />
<b>7. Program Updates/New Business</b><br />
a) Parent Connection<br />
Ice cream social was a positive activity! We welcomed guests who were encouraged to help out and<br />
attend meeting after enjoying ice cream this week.<br />
Marc shared info regarding “room parent” concept and inviting them to share info,<br />
blog/website/calendar info to other families. Mailchimp account being established to collect parent<br />
emails. Meeting minutes will go out to all parents, blog will be updated. Info will be distributed at Back<br />
To School Nights. Email blast will go out encouraging parents to sign up for SEF’s email list.<br />
<br />
b) Back to School Messaging<br />
Share info on SEF-PC, positive changes are happening, momentum is building, reviving the Parent<br />
Connection and “get on board!” Much Ado info will be shared.<br />
<br />
c) District Website<br />
Debbie Hanks shared info on new brochure & website. Excited for roll-out in the coming week.<br />
<br />
d) Much Ado Update<br />
a. Transition<br />
Becky Garlock & Andrea Schmitz are stepping down as coordinators. Need to share definition<br />
of the director’s position in order to recruit leadership roles. Timelines were shared on<br />
recruiting new leadership.<br />
In order to ensure our booths are covered with volunteers this year, Marc Urbaitel made a<br />
motion to offer Gravenstein & Twin Hills each a booth to staff for the 2014 Ren Faire. Their<br />
volunteers will be paid an hourly wage, just like Analy groups currently do. Andrea Schmitz<br />
seconded the vote. Unanimous approval.<br />
<br />

- Discussion of how SEF-PC funds are distributed; in past provided grants, currently provides funds to each school to distribute across classrooms, Principal Fund and some specific activities. SEF-PC is considering an adjustment to this plan so that programs deemed of most importance to SUSD and each school can be funded directly.<br />- Lisa G. advised that a group of parents are interested in grant writing to seek additional funds<br /><br />Shari Conradson Provided Update on Drama </div>

We had a great meeting last night. Thank you for all who attended. More notes to come, but most importantly our new name: We are now SEF Parent Connection.<br />
<br />
We agreed last night that since Parent Connection already exists let's re-ignite that fire and get some change going! Also, the SEF board discussed our group being a part of SEF Parent Connection and they all agreed we should merge our efforts and work together.<br />
<br />
So now, we are all members of SEF and SEF's Parent Connection. In fact, on the first day of school, every parent will automatically become a member of SEF Parent Connection. Together we can organize our meetings to discuss how we can enrich our school curriculum & faculty with the help they need and work on fundraising for the programs we'd like to come back.<br />

<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
I would like to schedule a meeting with you next week to discuss action items from the last board meeting. I was unable to attend but our new parent coalition did attend and express our concern for losing the Drama program at Brook Haven.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
Apparently, the decision made by you and Brook Haven to remove the Drama program is in full effect and the school is already clearing out the Drama classroom. The parents are not happy with this progress after communicating clearly that we'd like to see this stay. Frankly we fell like you don't care what the parents want. Many parents want to go straight to the Press with these happenings -- something I think we can avoid with better communication.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
I would like to bridge the gap between the parents and the school board and plan a meeting with you next week on Wednesday, Thursday or Friday.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
What time works for you? We're all meeting on Monday and will have a formal set in action for our coalition and how we can organize the parents with the board and work together to enhance our children's education.</div>

<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
- There are fantastic academic and life benefits to the Drama Program, including Language Arts, public speaking, confidence building, and a unique way to teach students who don't learn as well in a more traditional classroom environment.</div>

<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
- There is a great sense of disappointment among parents at the programs which continue to be cut and not replaced, including overnight field trips, band instructors and Rainbow House.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
- We also are very frustrated at the lack of transparency and communication from the District administration. It feels as though decisions are being made in a vacuum and communicated at the last minute when it's very difficult to create change. Curious why discussion at Town Hall meeting and survey results have not been shared with entire school community.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
- We would like to see a shift to more transparent and complete communication, and to a more collaborative decision making process so that we can support important programs. We are creating a parent-teacher coalition to organize ourselves into a unified voice that can give input on which academic and enrichment programs are important for our community, and to support those programs with fundraising and volunteering</div>

Because they will join us at Brook Have from 6-8 grade. We're one community and we need to lead by example.<br />
<br />
I do think we should be fundraising separately on our unique school enrichment programs and Lisa mentioned there could be a way for SEF to support that. <br />
<br />
I know SEF is a 501(3c) so if we need to funnel our fundraising through this organization and then distribute directly to the school the fundraising is for, that could make a lot of sense.<br />
<br />
All in all, let's all work together!Marc Urbaitelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13699326395486742734noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9152757384863258829.post-65204523842031966542014-06-02T11:46:00.001-07:002014-06-02T11:48:08.659-07:00FundraisingI think we should start with the local businesses and get them to donate. I know SEF is a non-profit organization and it may be best to go through SEF on this one. Lisa, thoughts?<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
We could easily create a goal on our initial priority list for 2014-2015 school year:</div>
<div>

<br /></div>
<div>
And then push out to businesses to get this money raised. </div>

I would like folks to put down their desires, wishes, and solutions and ideas of how to make them come true.<br />
<br />
Grants are one way. I've been told that there is money out there and especially money for the arts. <br />
<br />
I would love to hire a Marcia Salera or Sally Briggs to come and teach art every week to the K-5's at both schools.<br />
<br />
We need someone to teach all kids how to key board. (Or someone to teach the teachers how to teach keyboarding. Maybe there is some fun software out there?)<br />
<br />
I wonder if Andrea would be interested in teaching Spanish to the K-5's?<br />
<br />
And of course I want drama, musical theatre, and theatre arts to be a given in the district.<br />

Hello Brook Haven Parents! In response to all of the parents, teachers & school administrators I have spoken with, I have taken the intiative to create our very first parent coalition specifically for Brook Haven. Here we can communicate about everything Brook Haven. Let us be the change needed to start up programs at the school and voice our opinions. </div>
