Ms. Vanessa Adams, a parent of a child in BSNBCS and whom Mr. Nesbitt had had a call with due to her concerns, asked the board about the school store. This was a project she and other parents were interested in. It had been brought to the attention of the ED but he had concerns- viz. logistics, manning it, initial outlay of funds, accountability. Cecelia Russo proposed that Ms. Adams & interested parents of the PFO create a plan to present to the ED/board for review at the August meeting. Mr. Nesbitt will work with the PFO on creating a plan for the school store.

Joe asked how to involve more parental/family attendance at the open Board Meetings and at the PFO meetings? This will be addressed with the Engagement Committee, ED and school staff moving forward. There was some discussion as to the organization's name, function, etc. This will be further discussed at the next Board meeting.
