SLT Elections for 2022-2023

• Melanie Goldberg and Liza Gouger are “graduating”
• Ellen’s term is up but she can go for reelection
• Elexis left the school, so she needs to be replaced
• Elena and Barbara have served their term but can go up for reelection
• 3 parents positions, 2 staff positions up for election
• Elections must be done by end of June
• Parent election will be held @ PTA meeting on 6/16

Playground update:

• Grant total is $600K
• Jessie Childs has been at the forefront of this project
• No agreement right now on type of structure and flooring
• Disagreement over whether or not big yard is included in the grant
• Our plan all along has included the big yard but recently were told it is not included
• Extra $100K has been added to total grant but SCA is saying that is still not enough for both yards

CEP Goals for next year:

• Community building to continue next year
• Parents need that pre-Covid engagement (Movie Night, Field Day, etc)
• Hoping to see more of those kinds of events next year
• Return of field trips (hopefully) and embracing all NYC has to offer
• Hoping to return to small group instruction for reading
• Attendance has gone from 89% to 93% (most absences due to Covid)
• Biggest concern is lateness, so that is something to focus on next year

Next meeting: 6/1
