Update on Transportation Goals
Brian shares out. This is a slow process, checking in with Spec. Ed. law and state requirements. If we go big, state funding may be available, if this is done small, we can learn a great deal in the pilot process. We are now leading toward the pilot process.

Student and Faculty/Staff Work to address acts of Anti-Semitism
Brian shares out about student leadership involved in planning whole school event one week after break. Student leaders requested that is be a mandatory meeting for all students. Well attended. The following week, students in super advisories will discuss what they learned and how students can work together to make Parker a stronger community.
