April 6, 2010

 

Present:           Victoria Burns, Melanie Craig, Sherry Levesque, Tina Martell, Anne Rowe, Sheryl Robinson, Rosie Cavallaro, John Cavallaro, Sharlene Myers, Peter Martell, Doug Wilson, Chris Aube

 

Introductions were made and Victoria Burns, Superintendent, shared the agenda.

 

Adjustment:     Doug Wilson, G-NG Boosters asked that the GNG Booster Club High Fund Raising and Team Funding Process proposal be placed on the agenda for discussion.

 

Focus of Meeting:

            Victoria Burns, Superintendent, shared the MSAD #15 proposal for Summer Athletic Programming. After discussion, John Cavallaro made a motion that the Council accept the proposal and that it go to the Board for approval. Sharlene Myers seconded the motion, and there was unanimous approval.

 

            Doug Wilson, G-NG Boosters, presented a draft proposal to the Council titled High Level Fund Raising and Team Funding Process, for consideration and discussion. The Boosters want feedback on the process. They also want a combined coaches’ list of wants to review prior to making a decision regarding funding. The preference would be at the beginning of the year, but they understand that it may start as a season’s combined list. Discussion focused on the current process whereby “Upon identifying a want or need, a varsity coach approaches the athletic director with a request. The request is brought to the Boosters by the Athletic Director.” In addition, the role of the Council in this process was debated. Several points of view were shared including the Council’s role in the general identification of a “want” or a “need” (funded by the District) and the Council’s role in reviewing and providing feedback on the coaches’ list of wants identified by the Athletic Director. Melanie Craig, Athletic Director, felt that there is a role for the Council to review the combined coaches’ list before presentation to the Boosters. Sheryl Robinson felt that the Council’s Mission should be reviewed before providing a recommendation.

 

The Council agreed that the Boosters’ Fund Raising and Team Funding Process would be placed on the next agenda for additional discussion. The G-NG Boosters would also like the G-NG Boosters’ organizational chart to be placed on the next agenda (May 5^th at 5:00 @ the high school library) for Council feedback.

 

After a brief recess, the Council met to review the search for the CoCurricular Director and brainstormed desired knowledge, skills and attributes of the new Director as well as interview question suggestions for the Interview Committee.
