Spelling Bee

April 9^th was the date for the 6^th Annual Spelling Bee. Feedback has been received from the schools, most of which was positive. Daniel Aliber from the fraternity has put together a post mortem of the event and it will be archived for use next year. We have not resolved the issues of roles and responsibilities with the executive committee – in preparation read the association bylaws (download from the web page).

School 44 status

SBPT and CET have been meeting.

School 16 status

No news from Mike Schmidt on FMP and community feedback.

Old/New Business

There is a proposal for another charter in the southwest segment of the city. We need to take the lead in determining the approach from the association (support, oppose, stay neutral).

Next Meeting

Wednesday, May 11^th at 7 pm in the 19^th ward association office.
