Meeting Highlights

This is what I wanted to say at the meeting that many of you did not show for.

1. I wanted to discuss cheating again and make sure you all understand, reread the post on cheating and IM Alexandra Daikon with any questions.

2. Once the student government is determined- all meetings will be MANDATORY for those in Pres/VP/Treasurer. We will discuss at the end of each meeting to see when next week's meeting should be. This will not be flexible for those holding positions, however, student council it will be more flexible. I want to make sure that those 3 people can make it at whatever time we can- and hopefully the majority of student council will be able to show. IF something unexpected comes up- please try to IM or email me (alexandra.daikon@gmail.com) with this info at least 6 hours prior. Obviously if it's an emergency don't sweat about it. RL COMES FIRST!
(hypothetical example: the meeting this week is monday at 2pm we will ask at the end of the meeting if this is a good time next week or should we change it.)

3. Since so many have helpers already working on campaigns you won't be kicked out for it, so don't worry about that. It's okay for parents and friends to help, but make sure most of the work is done by YOU NOT THEM!

4. Do NOT promise people you will change things that are a tad outragous- ie having recess all day or you will destroy the lag- it's not possible to do. You can promise them things like dances etc because we will work hard to get things like that together.

5. Election process: I haven't decided yet. I'm scared to do an online pole for the cheating reason (people voting more than once etc) so I may try and find a website that makes you type in your name to vote but doesn't give specifically what you did vote for, just that you voted OR I may go back to the manual method and go into each class- hand out the ballots myself and have them turn it into me and I will count them. I'll do research and try and get this info out ASAP. If any of you know of websites like that please tell me.

6. If you DO NOT win elections- don't worry- you can still try and run for student council (which will be a representative of 2 students per classroom). These elections will be held next Friday (4/11).

I think that was all. Please send me a notecard if you have any questions. Good luck this week :)
