*CSAPs will be used to base a report on the continuous, measurable gains in educational achievement for all student groups. Mr. Day will report from the teacher to the PAC Committee next month.
*RMS PAC will sevelop a truancy policy to be enforced by the administration and seek Board approval for policy. Originally to address the students who did not attend 1st hour homeroom. Mr. Day does not see a great deal of late arrivals, as there is no 1st hour homeroom. Mr. Day suggested monitoring the situation and see if a policy needs to be developed. Committee agreed.
*October committee will finalize goals.

3. Presentation of CSAP results.
Mr Day explained the Annual Yearly Progress, Participation Rate, and CSAP data. Mrs. Cushman asked if we would see the math scores improve now that we have gone back to a more traditional math program. Mr. Day felt it would be more aligned with CSAP testing and easier to move new teachers into the program.

4. Mr. Kueter asked if the Lemon Aid Stand could be fundraiser. The students raised $5,300 from the fund-raiser last year. Mr. Kueter did not think that the students could not raise as much money with any other fundraiser. Mrs. Parsons asked what the pros and cons were. The pros are the money. The cons are the quality of the product. Mrs. Cushman felt that Mr. Kueter should have the students advise the buyers that there is not much chocolate and it is sometimes stale. Mrs. Cushman moves that we accept the fundraiser, Ms. Davis seconds. The committee unanimously approves.

5. Ms. Cushman moves that we adjourn. Mrs. Dillon seconds.
