3. Discussion re elections and alternates.
JM we should stand for re election that is the 50%
FP disagrees. We were appointed for 2 years and therefore should stand for the two years.
FP fill out 2 year term, and focus on filling alternate positions.
FN Happy with chemistry even with the students to stay on.
SA Even for parents.
JM can we run an election only for the alternate positions?
FP We have to pick new offices on the first meeting of the year
FP needs an election for all alternates.
As per bylaws all members will stand for 2 years.
Elections will focus on finding alternates.
4. PSW
A letter is received from parents to petition for the position of Ms Alvarez
See notes
Important the AA stays at LAHS. Many parents need the support
FN Loss of money from T1 budget.
Why
Loss of HPSG
Not something we wanted but because of budget we had to.
Other counselors and PSW can be hired with a new grant. But we are not sure yet. Other services can cover what AA did. Possibly Mary Wallace in the Teen Clinic
Next year the problem of budget will be worse with the loss of 800 T1 students
We share your concern re the value of the services that AA gave.
AP there can be a choice for which fund is cut. There is not enough money to help the needs of students and parents.
JTR we are also losing a PSA counselor.
FN there is an option for Teen Clinic to improve service and cover the area of need formally covered by PSW AA, but in a more economical fashion.
JTR possibly the 1133 will be able to cover counselors’ positions, who may serve the parents and students like AA as a PSW
SA The decisions by SSC are made for the immediate future. 1133 may not be here to spend till Sept or later, there was a budget gap therefore.
FP 1133 is to lower class size, and counselor ratios and facilities. This council will direct the spending of that money. We want all of the stakeholders: parents and students included to direct that spending.
Can parents be trained by AA to reach out to other parents?
AP (parent) concerned that AA was important to help students and parents.
JTR we need your help in Sept how to spend the new grant 1133.
PARENT Principals leaving issue. How can parents be involved in Principals’ selection and parents want a Principal to stay for at least 5 years
FP the UTLA at LAHS is trying to be involved in the selection of the process. We will communication with ms Zometa re this process and how parents can work with the union.
Parent So we don’t have a voice????
FP the union was turned down re inclusion in the process.
FN will recommend that the same process will be repeated as the process that he went through.
FN as a PI school the super has the right to select any principal without input from other bodies.

FN SA LA3 Director will write a letter outlining the Principal’s Selection process by this week, regarding union and parent involvement.
JTR thank you for the letter and the effort. Hopefully we will get want we want.

Community Representative

Discussion held on PSA positions as districts as well as categorical budgets have cut PSA. School has deleted PSW position due to lack of budget allocations in Title I. ELL can not purchase PSA or other positions. ELL can purchase instructional materials and supplies. Possible SB1133 can be use for counselor position to reduce counseling load as well as reviewing student attendance. A need exist for school to review other sources such as Teen Clinic for psycho/socio referrals as well as the Beyond the Bell counselor. Recommendation was made for ELL to increase curricular trips in order for Title I to pick up second PSA. Mr. Nunnally will seek clarification on Resource teacher definition for additional (Spivey) position.
Ms. Perez, second by Ms. Covington motion pending clarification and budget recommendations SSC will approve budget including cut of PSW position as amended by Dr. Nishimura, body approved budget as motion.

New Business

Ms. Altin sought clarification on Miltary recruiters on campus. Miltary recruiters have the same access as employers.
