<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> 3497 North Ammon Road, Idaho Falls, Idaho, 83401 (208) 525-4400 Fax (208) 529-0104 www.d93.k12.id.us <br /> <br /> <br />Board of Trustees Craig Lords Annette Winchester Wendy Horman Kip Nelson DeVere Hunt <br /> <br />Bonneville Joint School District No. 93 is an Equal Opportunity Employer <br />Dr. Charles J. Shackett, Superintendent Dr. Bruce Roberts, Deputy Superintendent Marjean McConnell, Assistant Superintendent <br />Work Session Minutes <br />Bonneville High School <br />October 5, 2011 <br /> <br />The meeting began at 12:11 p.m. due to a delay resulting from an executive session held prior to this meeting. Board members <br />present were Chairman Craig Lords, Vice Chairman Annette Winchester, Wendy Horman, Kip Nelson, and DeVere Hunt. Others in <br />attendance were Deputy Superintendent Bruce Roberts, Assistant Superintendent Marjean McConnell, Roger Hill, April Burton, <br />Todd Hicks, Assistant Principal Craig Miller, Assistant Principal Lance Miller, Principal John Pymm, Don Trauntvein and Board Clerk <br />Valerie Messick. <br /> <br />I. Bonneville High School Student Council <br />Chairman Lords apologized for the delay of the start of the meeting and thanked the student council for their patience. <br /> <br />Each class president presented their goals for this year. Freshmen: advertise sports, get loud at the assemblies and show <br />respect, reserve the front rows at assemblies for the loudest people, and encourage students to raise their GPA so they <br />can have extra lunch time. Sophomores: more intermingling to show that student’s opinions matter, help break down <br />groups, and make an impact and leave a legacy. Juniors: involve more class members, build new traditions while <br />supporting old traditions, and personally invite students to activities. Seniors: support students in their quest to graduate <br />and feel like this is the best year, inform students of scholarship opportunities, and make students aware of college <br />opportunities. Student body: maximize school unity and pride through smart advertising sports and club events, <br />participating in cheers, pursuing business contributions, academic improvement, and more service orientation. <br /> <br />Chairman Lords stated that meeting with the student council is one of the highlights of the year and thanked the s tudents <br />for having the meeting with the Board. He then asked if they had any questions for the Board. <br /> <br />Questions for the Board <br /> <br />1. “What can Bonneville High School do to become better?” The Board’s response was to continue to respect others, be kind <br />and inclusive, push academics, and continue with service. Meet people where they are and find those who are lost. <br /> <br />2. Why can’t the students use the auxiliary gym for the homecoming dance? Why can’t they hold the dance outside? Dr. <br />Roberts will get with Mr. Pymm to explore the issues and solutions. <br /> <br />3. Why don’t teachers have time to help students in the morning? The District has grown by 3,000 students and the state <br />has cut funding by $6 million. The District had to reduce the number of teachers. <br /> <br />4. Why is there not an ACT prep class offered at Bonneville? That is a matter that needs to be discussed with the <br />administration. <br /> <br />5. Is it possible for Board members or the superintendent to make appearances at school so the students know they are <br />supportive? Invite them to come to activities and they will most likely attend. <br /> <br />6. Why can’t clubs sell cinnamon rolls before school and during lunch time? Why can’t we bring outside venders in for lunch? <br />Food services need to keep the program in the black. There are also Federal Guidelines that they must follow. Work with <br />Mr. Pymm to see what can be done. <br /> <br />7. Is the freshman academy a District program or administrative? It is administrative. <br /> <br />8. Why can’t we wear hats? You can pursue that with the administration. They do have leeway with the policy. <br /> <br />9. Should senior projects be changed to being based on careers or college? The State Board of Education governs these. <br />The amount of time and emphasis can come from the school. Mr. Hunt stated that if you can change a hobby into a career <br />it would be great. He is concerned that some students don’t spend much time on the project while others do an excellent <br />job. Mrs. Winchester suggested that high school should be a place to try different things to determine what students would <br />like to pursue as a career or in college. <br /> <br />10. Girls would like to have a powder puff “Civil War”. Talk with the administration. <br /> <br />11. What is your opinion of weighted GPAs? The Board looked into the matter several years ago and it was found that <br />colleges don’t like weighted GPAs. That may have changed. Students could look into that and let the Board know what <br />the current thinking is. <br /> <br />12. Thank you to the Board for the new weight room. It gets used a lot and is awesome.
