CSC Update

  • The first CSC meeting will be on Tuesday 9/19 from 4-5pm, both in person and virtual.
  • We are looking for nominations to fill an empty seat.  Nominations are due by 9/12 and then we will send out a ballot for the community to vote.  Below is guidance from the CSC bylaws.  Please complete the Nomination Form HERE.
    • Member Diversity
    • The diversity of the school student population should be represented, whenever possible, in the CSC committee membership. Prior to election planning each year, current CSC members will review a snapshot of the Bromwell student body population to ensure each group will be represented for the following calendar year. These statistics should include, but not be limited to: 
      • BIPOC/ non-BIPOC
      • In-boundary/ out of boundary 
      • English as a second language/ Multi-Language Learners 
      • CSC Representatives (either teachers or parents/guardians) shall provide a voice for for each of Bromwell’s specific instructional programming: 
        • General Education 
        • Special Education 
        • Highly Gifted and Talented 

“Representation” will be achieved by electing members that are included within diversity groups, or by members assigned to provide a voice for a specific group(s). 

Terms:

CSC committee members are elected to a one or two-year term. Members may be elected to no more than three (3) successive terms. Staggered terms may be used to promote continuity. 

Join us on Wednesday, 9/13 at 8:00AM for our first meeting – on the agenda are updates on volunteering, family events, communications, and fundraising. 

Our first Staff Appreciation effort is coming up on 9/18. Help us Stock the Staff Lounge by signing up here.

Upcoming opportunities include the PTA-led and volunteer staffed library!
