Info from Meeting with Shelley (Principal)
went well overall
covered a lot of BASH items
Science fair has been called off for the year and we’re pushing it to the fall due to all of the other commitments and things going on
re-orientation of the PTSA role in relation to the school is continuing to evolve and we’re learning and flexing with the shift
School is driving the science fair, earth day, calendar, school supplies, etc.
Allison: we typically meet and collaborate on the school calendar to coordinate yearly PTSA events however we still need to figure out
Shelley is learning along with us and may not be aware of how the PTSA has helped plan the calendar (re: PTSA events)
Talked about sending information out re: Gracie’s Giving Project/Colfax Marathon event in the ledger and need to figure out what we can do and what Gina would prefer
Re Mo’s passing: it has been handled in a district prescribed manner and Shelley hasn’t had a lot of say or her hands have been tied in the situation—we’ve had a lot of parents question how it's been handled

DCTA (Amy)
5.2% COLA went to superintendent and all of the principals but did not give it to the teachers
The union is in the middle of a three year bargaining agreement and they’ve decided to table the raise and work on other priorities
Day of action 3/20
CTA is trying to force operational closures in the district so all the educators can attend this rally; Purpose of this is a statewide issue, not just a DPS issue; the state has to cut its budget because of TABO
federal cuts are a concern as well as state level cuts
If there is a closure, how can we handle and support that?
educators are calling in for certain dates asap to let districts know
Stacy will reach out to Jen and Alex to see what they need
