1st Board Meeting

The first board meeting I attended was at West Side High in newark. The agenda that was available for the public had to be a couple hundred pages think. It was impossibe to read through it at the meeting, it was bigger than my anatomy text book. The board members were all from diverse backgrounds and varied in age. Some of the topics covererd were student safety, school fundings and spendings, and students from the graphic and art design class presented some of their material. Awards were given to parents who donated their time and effort to the school and students, and the top five students in the high school were also recognized. It was an interesting experience being my first board meeting ever, the pace was slow but moved, just wish thier was a bigger crowd.
