Members present: Chad Okamoto Eliza Akana-Yoshida Lynn Araki-Regan Riley Regan Sharon Talana Simone Polak Stephen Fox Travis Toda
Introductions Every member briefly introduced him or herself.
Approval of SCC Members Due to the fact that no parents were interested in serving on the SCC for the 2014-2015 term, Principal Okamoto asked previous SCC members Stephen Fox and Travis Toda, whose one year term had ended, to serve one more year as SCC members.
A Motion to Approve Stephen Fox and Travis Toda as SCC members was approved unanimously by all other SCC members.
Consideration of Agenda Items
Approval of Minutes As the Minutes for March 27, 2014, were not available, there was no approval of minutes.
Election of SCC Officers A Motion for all previous officers to serve in their same capacity was unanimously approved. The following officers were therefore re-elected: Stephen Fox (Chair), Lynne Araki-Regan (Vice Chair) and Simone Polak (Secretary).
Review/Discussion of BYLAWS As the BYLAWS may be insufficient regarding transitions between school years, duties of officers, and elections in general, a Motion to Establish a Committee to Review Updating and Clarifying the BYLAWS was unanimously approved. A Committee was established, consisting of Stephen Fox, Principal Okamoto, and Simone Polak.
Mandated October Community Meeting/SCC Meeting Principal Okamoto provided handouts for SCC members’ information and review re 2014-2015 School Data in preparation for the mandated October meeting. A Motion to hold the mandated October Community Meeting on October 27, 2014 at 6pm and to hold the next SCC Meeting at 5:30pm was unanimously approved.
Monthly SCC Meeting Schedule A Motion to Schedule Monthly SCC Meetings throughout the full school year to be held on the third Monday of each month was unanimously approved.
However, it was discovered that the every third Monday schedule fell on numerous third Monday holidays. Therefore, an Amended Motion was made to schedule SCC Meetings for every fourth Monday of the month, unless otherwise decided, which was approved unanimously.
Miscellaneous Items The SCC group photo will be taken on October 27, 2014.
