February+12

1. **Community service**--making sure that the work is valid and whose responsibility is it to verify? 2. **Allowing students to "bank" hours for community service**--For how long will the hours be good? How will the record of this be kept? Who is responsible for this? How is this information transferred to other schools when students move? 3. **Damaged laptop deductible payments**--are we ensuring that qualified community service is being completed or that the payments are being paid before the students get their laptops back or get a loaner to take home? 4. **Insurance issue**--we need to discuss teachers having home/renters insurance and having that information if something happens to the teacher laptop outside of school. (DETAILS meeting) 5. **Coaching Corners** - model for staff development "just in time" staff development 6. **Summer** -
 * Ms. Campos - parent liaison (Harmon)
 * Sumner - Mike McLaurian
 * Washington - Linda Shafer
 * Fairfax Campus - Audrey Fryar
 * Schlagle - Sherrie Malcolm
 * Wyandotte - ?
 * Someone needs to be checking community service
 * Yes, students can bank hours
 * Do we want kids to view community service as a punishment?
 * Buildings will decide who keeps track of hours (either in building or student)
 * Buildings do not have to "advertise" they will take banked hours
 * Hours are only good for current school year
 * Hours are not good after school is out (May 21)
 * Julie and Alan out in buildings to spend the day providing staff development around needed topics (School Loop, Comic Life)
 * Time can be customized by thinking of the needs of the building
 * Buildings need to let Julie know when they would like to host the "coaching corner" day(s)
 * No technology reason for us not to check them in
 * Mobility issue is huge
 * Kids engaged in extended year could keep laptops during school - check in after summer school is over
 * Sumner Full IB kids have papers due - could they keep laptops?
 * Access to School Loop or something similar
 * Give parents the option to turn in laptop
 * We would need some very specific steps on what to do if they move!
 * Is there a way to offer classes to students on applications during summer school?
 * Seniors will need to turn them in
 * Supervision concerns???
 * Grades as an incentive? Students with all passing grades get to keep laptop over summer, students with one I or F will either have to take summer school or turn in laptop during the summer.
 * Recommendation of the group is to think about it! We will make a decision at the next meeting.
 * 7. 8th Grade Orientation** - Talk about next week
 * Need to start conversations
 * Digital Connectors could do presentations at each Middle School
 * 8. Details Meeting -** Each building needs to designate someone that is responsible for all the "details" of the laptops (payments, community service, damage payments, etc)
 * 9. Student Teachers -** they need to check in and out everyday


 * 10. Orientation for new students - next meeting**

Other similar issues that you've encountered that we need to tighten up to make sure that the laptops are still a useful tool and not a frustration for many.
