Board Members Present: Jon Wiens, Tom Mason, Douglas Jones, Julie DeBorde, and Theresa Raymond, Brian Condello.
Also attending: Andie Andeen, Gary Etchemendy, Ann Williamson, Laurie Aguirre, Rob Coiner, and Amy Morris.

The meeting was called to order at 5:42

April minutes approved with amendments.

Gary shared the reading, writing, and math testing scores with the Board. OLE is scoring better than the district or state averages.

Review of Charter, contract and bylaws. The Contract is up for renewal June 30, 2011. It is anticipated that the Charter Contract will be renewed.

Julie sent out a letter with the Thursday Thoughts to solicit interest for parent Board member positions. She asked if moving the meeting was good for all. The general consensus is yes.

Andie – Curriculum/Domain areas. Gary asked the teachers to write down what they are currently doing in each domain. A handout illustrates what each class is doing. Gary and the teachers have committed to plan out the year with their domain items and to review it on a monthly basis.

There was some discussion about the civics domain and what our focus is there and where we might like it to be. Julie suggests that we get the teachers and staff to discuss what they would like in this regard and then offer their suggestions to the board.

The Board is tasked with coming up with some specific bullets under each domain to help guide the teachers a little further.

We are running low on time so we will discuss budget at that next meeting.

The parent nominations were held. Amy Morris, Julie DeBorde, and Brian Condello were nominated. Theresa Raymond announced that she has decided to not continue her position with the Board.

Jon and Julie have been nominated for Chairperson. Jon Wiens was elected by the Board as the new Chairman of the Board.

Douglas has been nominated and elected as the Vice Chair.

Julie was appointed as the Secretary for the Board.

May 10th will be a board work session 5:30 – 7:30pm.
Meeting adjourned 7:56pm

The meeting moves to the joint meeting with PTC.

Maria Githens, speech therapist, came to talk about what she does for the kids here.
