2. School Calendar-Will be voted by the county in December for the 2019-2020 school year.

4. Bullying- It is occurring at a younger age. Some parents feel that they are not getting the support from the school.
5. Fire Alarms- Fire Alarms need to be uniformed across the district. Need to hold then clear. Some schools are not following this process and are going to clear while there are still staff and students evacuating.
6. Nurse- The request to have a nurse at all schools was approved but tabled for the time being.
7. Substitute Teachers- The district is experiencing a substitute shortage. The pay increase for subs which is hoped to help with the shortage was tabled. The number of subs currently working in schools are low and all are booked with jobs leaving schools with having to get creative with the shortage.
8. I-Zone Updates

• Safety

1. Carline Update- The new carline dismissal procedures is going well. It has shortened the length of time by 9 minutes. Carline is ending about 2:15pm daily versus 2:25pm.
2. Uniforms – No changes currently for PSE. It was suggested to look into adding sweatshirts for our students as some areas are cold and students usually wear warmer clothing. A uniformed sweatshirt would be better.
