II.
Student
Concerns
A.
The
students again requested that the lunch tables be wiped off after the younger
students have eaten. Mr. Suss has
informed the cooks about this issue.
B.
They
reported broken locks on bathroom stalls in the boy’s bathrooms across from
C.
The
students would like the announcements read.
The committee decided that the announcements were displayed in enough
places and that the students should be responsible for reading them. If teachers are asked to read them by the
students, they can feel free to do so.
D.
The
students requested that the drinking fountain by Mr. Fanaselle’s room be
re-installed. They are not allowed to
use the elementary fountain and the other is too far away. Mr. Suss will check into the possibility of
this depending on the leaking issue.
E.
The
Juniors are questioning the policy on an early out for kids who have completed
requirements for graduation. This is in
addition to OJT. There isn’t a set
policy on this and students may not have the opportunity with the added requirements.
Mr.
Suss will speak to Mr. Reincke to make sure that the concerns are those of the
student council and not just of one or two students. Mr. Blank will make sure Mr. Reincke gets the
recommendations from the Site Council so he can report back to the student
council with decisions and why they are made.

remaining, however. There is a Staff

After
School loitering—The committee felt that we should allow students to hang out
after school rather than having them on the streets, but students need to
respect the janitors and any requests that they make.
E.
Back
Door (by Mrs. Bernardy’s room)—A sign has been posted on this door stating that
it is not to be used as an entrance due to the lack of an absorbent rug. Any student using it should receive a
detention.
