- Public Comment—
- Mrs. Carr expressed concern about the cheerleaders at the girls’ basketball
games: She was at a game where she found that the cheerleaders were
not actually doing any cheers. As the cheerleaders are there to support
the team and boost enthusiasm for both the players and the audience,
if they are not doing that they are demoralizing team morale as well
as violating the policies of Title 9. The cheerleaders must begin performing
at all games they attend. Mrs. Carr expressed a willingness to go to
the school board again, but would rather this situation were taken care
of internally.
- Mrs. Carr also asked where the money collected for entrance to the
boys’ games was going, and whether there should be a charge to attend
girls’ games as well. She concluded that parents would not mind paying
to attend games.
- Agenda—
- An update on the Parent Project was requested; Brenda Rangel will
be asked to attend the next meeting in order to update the Council
b. The
next meeting will be held on Wednesday, March 2nd, 2005
- Meeting adjourned at 6:29 p.m.
