Forum Meeting, November 28, 2012


Forum Meeting 11/28/12

Present: Paul Wallin, Clara Clark, Matt Porrovecchio, Matt Jensen, Brenda Clark, Josh Feller,Rhonda White, Amy Bessen, Tracy Swope, Amber Britt, Jen Wood, Sarah Taylor, Sami Jones, and Jesse Smiley

The first item brought up was the time frame involved with Forum meetings. Many of the participants felt that it could be held in the latter part of an early release day, since some were affected by daycare time commitments.

Rhonda felt the Forum’s job has changed, and asked “where does it fit with HPT teams’ goals?”

Sarah T explained the original purpose and format of the Forum.
Clara asked if we could narrow the meeting points to minimize meeting time length.

Matt Jensen noted that administrators are non-voting members. He said we can change the format (digital proposed) or can vote on format as a Forum. He stated that Forum serves as a vehicle that allows HPT’s to give and share ideas for direction and directives to groups.

Brenda Clark suggested digital format (email, blog) as a means of keeping a record of group work. Meetings would be formally organized on an “as needed” basis.

All present members agreed a digital format would be time saving, and allow more HPT’s a chance to have input to the Forum.

Next meeting will be complete with individual laptops so we can, as a group, learn to create and use a blog (chosen format). Stay tuned!

Sarah Taylor,
Recorder during Scarlett’s absence
