Meeting Monday Jan. 9th 2012

• Teachers meet during lunch and after school due to the amount of information needed to be covered:
• Funding was cut by 20% this year, $16,000 by the state. Ways to cover the loss were discussed. Many teachers offered to forgo their supplemental funds to help cover loss.
•  An Update was given by James Stockdale on the NASA collaboration
• Teachers were asked to help pass out application to allow new students to join the Academy at semester.
• Teachers were all ask to do at least one weekly event to provide fun activeness for our students in the Academy. Some ideas were thrown around such as breakfast, BBQ's, more movie nights, etc. It was suggested that these activities need to be published in the Academy calendar and maybe visual handouts as a carrot for students to stay in the Academy.
