New business: Town Meeting |
PM distributed a draft PCS Endowment Overview (it is attached to these minutes in the binder where the minutes are kept in the school office). It presents a draft purpose statement: “to support innovative academic and after school enrichment programs for PCS students and their families.” PM stated that this is a permissive document, not a mandate. The board will have discretion over the use of the endowment funds. PM will rework the document and give it to Jim Kane for review by a lawyer. The board will discuss it again at its March 13 meeting. The board members are still seeking a candidate for the school board director position that will be open in March. |

Old Business: Expanding preschool discussion |
AF reported to the board a discussion the she, EP and Amelia Stone had about a process for deciding whether to expand the PCS preschool. They decided to survey community members, preschool providers and parents to determine the need for more preschool slots, what type of preschool parents are looking for and other issues that would affect the board’s decision. AS will work with Amelia Struthers on the survey. The board would like to see the survey instrument at its next meeting. The board will then discuss the survey results and the topic in more detail at a meeting in March to be determined. |
