Most of the meeting was spent discussing what the curriculum counsel should be. We looked at a draft handbook and by-laws, and spent time discussing who should be in its membership. We also discussed voting privileges; this topic will be further discussed at the November meeting. Other topic addressed included:

A desire to use the curriculum council for better communication throughout district, how we should select committees and what they should be, our goals for the year, and how we might go about reaching them.

development and have professional development set up for next year.
