- We are aware of the Topanga Road closure and we are working to find ways to soften some of the compliance requirements for families and staff that have been affected. We are currently unaware of how long this will continue. More to come on this issue.

Tyler Farrell: The report stands as submitted.

Sara Margiotta: In the state testing presentation they make a note that the math scores may be down because of how much online classes are being taken. Is this a hypothetical or is there data to support this?

Tyler Farrell: It is hypothetical because we don't always have access to different math courses students are taking.

Kiumars Arzani: If a student is taking a class outside of Pali, how do we know of this credit?

Tyler Farrell: Most are done through dual enrollment. Dr. Lee and the Counseling Office have more information on that data.

Sara Margiotta:

- We met yesterday and approved most of what is on the agenda. We are circling back to the lab costs and are hoping to bring those down.

- 2 Year Faculty Seat: Nicholas Albonico

- 1 Year Faculty Seat: Maggie Nance

- Management/Admin Seat: Martha Monahan

- Community Seat: Amir Ebtehadj

Audit Committee - Will be meeting next week.

Grade Appeal Committee - 1 grade upheld, 1 grade denied, 1 still pending, 1 no action taken.

Risk Management Committee - Did not meet this month.

Survey Committee - We need to work with student survey so language matches. Once student survey is done, we will compare.

Dr. Pam Magee - We had extensive conversation about the attendance policy starting last year and are looking to condense some of the information this year. Tyler Farrell has been working on this and we have some revisions.

Tyler Farrell - We started with what we had and the biggest change is a reduction in the language. We also added the school attendance response team, which is pretty standard, but we do not have that yet. Any student that hits a certain number of absences will be contacted by an intervention team. We have also floated an idea of a "no go list" of students that are consistently skipping class, as well as a reduction of the attendance codes. Compulsory code and education code is still in there.
