Assistant was hired and will start on December 4. Interviews are being

first week of December. Principal Mariucci also discussed the coaching
positions as they relate to the Parallel Curriculum Initiative and District
Initiatives and how this relates to the Curriculum Coordinator’s position.
Principal Mariucci highlighted the attendance of 41 staff
members who gave up their conference prep day and Saturday to attend the NAGC
Conference. More details are given below under New Business. All staff that
attended wrote synopsis of sessions attended and will share among the entire
staff to direct professional development within the school.
Budget: Principal
Mariucci updated the Council on the budget and allocation of funding based on
enrollment projections and actual attendance. Part of the discussion was
focused on technology resources for teachers and students.
Security: Will Waterkamp will be attending the 12/10 Site
Council meeting to address security issues relevant to Capitol Hill that have
been brought to the Council by parents, staff and administration. The three
buildings in the complex (as a unit) will be coordinating to ask Waterkamp to
address the entire building complex and suggest strategies for addressing the
security requests to the District that have not been funded. Waterkamp is
looking into alternatives to the current walkie talkies in use that would
function more effectively and will report on this effort.
Committee/Liaison
