Lydia repotted on feedback from teach's/departments

-Overall feedback was we do need a policy, however, some concerns/comments mentioned from the Depts. were:

*Strict enforcement of the policy but with exceptions (special ed)
* Flexibility
*who would have ultimate decision on a "failure".
*tardy definition, i.e. 5, 10, 6.5 minutes etc.
*clarification of words like "may" , "will," and "shall"
* everyone agreed that the lockout had been a positive step

General discussion of SCC members on the above points, as well as, the appeals board process, cutting vs. tardy, grades controlled by
the teachers, and the need to do a Draft#2.
-Shawn will write up a Draft#2,
Discussion was tabled until our next meeting.
