                (Packets included revised guidelines.  A copy is attached to the original of these minutes.)

           

            No additional edits were made to the Parent/Guardian After School Evaluation for MMSD Space Usage or to the Principal After School Evaluation for MMSD Space Usage or to the After School Principal Documentation log form. 

            Edits were made to the guidelines.  A revised edition will be available at the next meeting.  There was some discussion about the process for when enrollment exceeds available space in a building, and a waiting list exists, and using rooms not typically accessed by after school programs.  Compliance with licensing requirements may require permanent space changes.  Sufficient notice of a permanent space change would be needed from the principal to the provider.  The process for dealing with unresolved issues was raised as to the involvement of the assistant superintendent and the advisory board for mediation.  The composition of quality indicators was discussed based on MMSD standards.  Another point of discussion was the annual evaluations going through the MMSD Research and Evaluation Department and distributed in November.  The evaluations would be based on the City of Madison Elementary School Age Program Standards.

            It was moved by Janet Dyer and seconded by Wendy Rakower to accept the following documents as amended:  1) After School Advisory Board Guidelines; 2) After School Task Force Reactions to Charge Statements; 3) Parent/Guardian After School Evaluation for MMSD Space Usage; 4) Principal After School Evaluation for MMSD Space usage; 5) After School Principal Documentation log; 6) and MMSD Guidelines for After School Child Care Programming.  Motion unanimously carried with Liz Fritz and Ed Sadlowski absent. 

            FOLLOW UP:  All documents will be revised, taken off of draft status and shared with all Task Force members.  Ms. Fritz and Mr. Sadlowski will be notified.
