• • Congrats on being on council!

  • You need to be aware of talking loud enough - project your voice - this is a public meeting

  • Leadership is not about popularity

  • Three jobs to be on council

    • Be a council member

    • Be on a committee

      • This year, there will be focus on the committees

      • Effective committee work is important

      • You can be more active than in a big council meeting

    • To represent your class; or at-large

  • Role as a council member; role = part you play

  • Don’t be afraid of problems

  • Leader = Willingness to take responsibility

    • Talk and listen to students

    • To talk with the school board to move forward

    • To work with Positive Track - wants to show what community service actually is

“I would like to approve the motion to approve the community Service Ad Hoc Committee for the 2018-2019 school year”

Community was approved

5. Common Grounds Moving Persons Discussion

• • People had been moved by the office without them being notified

    • If you want to move back to your original common ground, please let us know

  • Council existed before common ground

    • Common ground had no connection with council

    • There are too many common grounds; it’s hard to have so many council members to be in each common ground

  • Council members being moved caused issues with peer leaders as well.

  • Do we even need council members to give reports? What about emails?

  • Common ground is important to build communities

    • Staying in the same common ground for 4 years is important; we can’t just move people around for council

  • It’s important to have a council member and a peer leader because each are completely different forms of leaders and both are very important

  • A council representative talking to people is so much more important

    • Communicating by people is much more effective than an email or a post of Facebook

  • Common ground is about community

    • Not necessarily about council

5. Notes and New Business

• • Hanover high school Improv club is requesting funds

    • The club was created too late in the year

    • $650 to cover trip to nationals and to cover the fee to call in an adviser

    • they need this for the basic funds; they will fundraise more of it

    • Currently 4 members in the club but looking in to get more members

    • We should get the members to come in before we make a decision

    • It is too much money for a club with only 4 members

    • This motion for funding is tabled to two weeks from now
