Minutes for 10.14.09 Education Sub-Committee Meeting

Highlights:

Beginning Educational Forum Series (motion possible). Note: Actions contingent upon approval of sponsorship from DRNC Community Services Committee and DRNC Board of Directors.

*Group decided to ask Stoner Elementary if the auditorium is available on Wednesday, Dec. 2 at 7:30 p.m. Back up date is the night before.

** Group decided to pursue school supply give-away. There was discussion around if the DRNC can purchase these items or must money got to a Booster Club or other 501(c)3? Mr. DeSobe got clarification from Mr. Flater, DRNC Treasurer, who said that as long as DRNC placed stickers or some other obvious outreach attempt then DRNC could purchase items to give away. Motion will sent to Community Services asking for up to $250 to purchase these supplies. Other sponsorship opportunities include Teach For America or Stoner's organizations. Group noted that a possible benefit of the event could be the creation of a legitimate, high-functioning Stoner Elem. Booster Club.

***Panelists, topic for evening, and kid performers were discussed. Possible title/theme for event: "Can We Co-exist: Traditional and charter schools as neighbors." Group thought 2 traditional school panelists and 2 charter school panelists would be ideal. Potential keynote-like dignitaries included Michelle King, LAUSD; Superintendent Ray Cortines; Mayor's Partnership CEO Marshall Tuck.

****Other business included Del Rey Day publicity (Oct. 18th!); Marina Del Rey Middle School Green Day Event (Oct. 24th!).
