taking place as a matter of routine, as families move or request transfers, but no new systems have been put in place since April 26. Dr. Can -away said that any systemic or programmatic work on this issue would be contingent upon Dr. Grumet's findings. However, the Superintendents and Dr, Grumet have not been in contact. Ms. Brown encouraged the Superintendents to contact Dr. Grumet if they feel they are waiting too long for her, Dr. Pedersen said that since the study was initiated by the County it is more appropriate for the County rather than the Superintendents to motivate her work, if the County thinks this is necessary, Mr. Link agreed to ask Dr. Grumet to initiate a meeting with the Superintendents and other members of the study's steering committee, Wrap Up The group determined that it did not have time remaining today to discuss Items # 4 - # 10 on the list of areas of collaboration, nor to address the additional areas of collaboration generated on April 20 by the Board Chairs, Superintendents and Manager. The group agreed to meet again on Tuesday. August 24 at the County Government Services Center in Hillsborough from 2:00 PM to 4:00 PM in order to complete its first pass at tracking implementation of the areas of collaboration. At the next meeting the group will begin with Item # 4, "New paradigm for SRO's," and will not go back to review progress on Items # 1 -# 3, Mr. Link shared some preliminary thoughts on Item # 4, to be taken up when we meet again on 8/24/04. After noting that school nurses are funded outside of the per pupil funding structure (and that this was achieved after several months of planning), he asked what other services might also be funded in this way (e.g., social workers, after school programs, security officers) and what new revenue sources might be used in providing this funding. He said that this item and item # 9 on the list ( "Guidelines for using any additional funds that would be generated if new revenues were created (`new paradigm')" might be addressed together when we reconvene. Feedback on the meeting • If all of the remaining items on the two lists are to be completed at the next meeting then we need to move more quickly, • We should talk less. • We started slowly today; next time we all should arrive on time and jump into the task, • After the next meeting we should be fair and meet in Chapel Hill, because this and the next meeting have been in Hillsborough. • The 10 areas of collaboration are now beginning to "come alive." Meeting adjourned at 4:00 PM
