“You can’t change the direction of the wind, but you can adjust your sails to always reach your destination.” -Jimmy Dean

1. Approval of Minutes

2. Reports

3. UNICEF Allocation

I move to allocate up to $150 from the Co-Curricular Fund to the UNICEF Club.

I move to table the debate until a representative from UNICEF is present at Council.

4. Cell Phone Motion

I move to amend the cell-phones section of Section 8 in the Handbook to read

“The use of electronic devices must not interfere with academics or constitute a threat to health and safety.

All electronic devices may only be used in class with the teacher’s permission. Staff has no authority to preemptively confiscate any electronic devices that are silenced and stored away. Electronic devices can be used in public spaces where students are allowed to congregate such as the atrium, the café, the library, the resource centers and the great outdoors.

Electronic devices may be used in corridors; however, users should be aware of the current handbook rule which states that ‘Behavior in corridors and foyers which disrupts instruction or harms the school’s generally positive atmosphere will not be permitted.’

All electronic devices must be turned off or turned to mute during any form of safety or emergency drill or procedure.”

I move to amend the motion to add in wording after “stored away,” “in a bag, separate from the person.”

6. Rock Climbing Allocation

I move to allocate $500 from the Co-Curricular Fund to the Rock Climbing Club.
