By Donna Li Almost three years ago, the Steering Committee began discussions about converting our policies back to their original policy/regulation format. That process is now almost complete. Our reformatted policies, along with other important documents and tools, are now accessible via the Steering Committee website. To navigate to this site, begin at the D’Evelyn school site: Our school → Our Organization → Steering Committee. We designed this website to ensure that our policies are readily accessible to all community members, thus making them easier to use and follow as well as increasing the transparency of the work of the Steering Committee. The Steering Committee calendar, which can also be found on our website, allows community members to add Steering Committee events to their personal Gmail account calendar and to subscribe to electronic notifications. To view our calendar, agendas, and minutes, as well as to subscribe to notifications, please visit our calendar page. The previous system used for electronic notifications is no longer in service. As the Steering Committee website is new, there may be a few technical issues to iron out. Please contact [email protected] if you experience any technical problems or have feedback about the website. We appreciate your input. Check it out! All Steering Committee meetings continue to be open to the public, and we cordially invite all community members to attend. The meetings are scheduled to begin at 4:30 pm, either in the main office conference room or in the library. February 10, 2020, at 4:30 pm, in the D'Evelyn Library, the District is scheduled to come into the Steering Committee meeting and discuss CU-06, the policy that was passed to label and weight our core courses as honor's level on our students' transcripts, but had its implementation delayed. The District will be presenting the process they would like D'Evelyn to go through in order to implement the labeling change. More information on where we are on the implementation of CU-06 can be found here. The District was originally scheduled to come in on January 27 but had to reschedule. We are sorry for any inconvenience this schedule change has caused and welcome our community to the meeting. You are invited!
Who: The D’Evelyn Community What: The Steering Committee Candidate Process The Steering Committee is D’Evelyn’s governing body made up of our principal, two staff members, and five parents when all positions are filled. Parents and staff members serve three-year terms. There will be open positions for both parents and staff beginning in the 2020-2021 academic year. The Steering Committee invites all community members to learn more about the candidate process and the work of the Steering Committee. However, we especially encourage those who intend to apply for a Steering Committee position to attend the Steering Committee Candidate Training Part 2. This will take place on Tuesday, Feb 11th at 6:30 pm in the library following the Accountability meeting. (Part 1 took place in November.) Applications are due by 3:00 p.m. on Tuesday, February 18th, 2020. Please note that they must be emailed to [email protected] by this time. If candidates cannot email the application, an email must be sent to the address above by 3:00 pm on February 18th, 2020, notifying the Chair that the paper application is in the Steering Committee mailbox located in the main office. The public Candidate Forum allows the community an opportunity to meet the candidates and hear their responses to predetermined questions. This will be held on Tuesday, April 14th at 6:45 pm, immediately after the Accountability meeting. We encourage the entire community to attend. If you do intend to apply, kindly contact Donna Li, Vice-Chair, so that we may answer any questions and better plan for the process of filling Steering Committee positions. Application information may be found on our website: Policy SC-06, Regulation SC-06-R (Readings), SC-06-F2 Application, Bylaws. Your consideration of serving is greatly appreciated. All Steering Committee meetings are open to the public, and we cordially invite all community members to attend. The meetings are scheduled to begin at 4:30 pm either in the main office conference room or in the library, and the meeting agendas are available on the Steering Committee website. |
