Minutes: The October 6th meeting minutes were approved by unanimous consent and will be posted to the school website. Mr. Nelson presented the school safety plan and went over the emergency procedures and discussed evacuation procedures and the visitor check in process. The SCC expressed concern and wanted more consistent ID checks for checking students out. The SCC expressed their number one safety concern was that of their students emotional safety and wellbeing and that they would like to see progress made in that regard. We reviewed the basic components of the schools digital citizenship plan, including the safe search mode, the content keeper filtering, and the updated policy on not allowing students to use a website or platform that asks for them to create a profile. Mr. Nelson discussed different ways to spend down the TSSA budget as we have $118,000 in there. We discussed maybe paying for interventionists, using it for technology, or other needs. Ehin Wilkes asked for the graffiti outside to be removed. We adjourned at 6:15. The next meeting is in person on Dec. 8th. We will discuss the proposed boundary changes for the Midvale area schools
