Hello DAC members & Community Partners:
Guest Speaker: Janell Kubinec, Understanding Categorical Programs
This month we have a powerful speaker, Janell Kubinec, Associate Vice President of School Services of California. She will provide an overview of current issues regarding California's funding of school districts, the management of state and federal categorical funds and the strategic use of these funding resources to maximize student achievement outcomes. Members from other school districts are welcomed.
Revised Bylaws
The bylaw convention was a success. They completed the revisions of the bylaws. They are attached for your review. We are very limited in time in this month’s meeting due to our guest speaker.
DAC Election
As DAC chair, I have been announcing for the last 3 months that the current DAC board officers will not be running for election next year. We have been actively recruiting DAC membership to consider being candidates. The current board would like to have the election in June 2010 to allow the new board to organize during the summer months. They will have the opportunity to develop their goals and timeline, instead of inheriting the old board’s agenda. We are asking the DAC membership to vote for a June election instead of a November election. Current DAC officers will complete their term by June 30, 2010; therefore there is a need to have elections. Attached is the Bylaw Committee Election process. Is there anyone else interested in running, please let me know.
Announced Candidates so far are:
For DAC Chair:
Toni Colley-Perry, Success Academy
Maria Lourdes Jimenez-Price, Phoebe Hearst
For DAC Vice Chair:
· Shane Sawyer, Hubert Bancroft
· Jennifer Garcia, Tahoe
· Nancy Garcia, Sam Brannan Middle
Unsure which office:
LaTisha Lawson, Hiram Johnson High/OW Erlewine
Announcements:
