The subcommittee indicated that they felt that there was an ongoing discipline issue existing within the school system. 
 
The subcommittee discussed their belief it was system wide and that we needed to look at all levels within the school system. The subcommittee decided that they would begin by breaking this issue out into (3) subsections:
 
•	Elementary schools
•	Middle School
•	High school
 
The subcommittee created an initial resources list of which they will begin the work of the subcommittee with:
 
•	School handbooks from each school
•	BOE policy governing discipline
•	Teacher climate survey results (by level if possible)
•	Superintendent of schools 1 on 1 teacher meetings with summary report to subcommittee by level
•	Cumulative discipline reports by school (by random student numbers) 
•	Parent climate survey results (by level if possible)
•	We also discussed engaging parents at future meetings
 
The subcommittee set the following meeting nights:
 
•	June 29, 2016 @ 6:00 – DMS
•	July 27, 2016 @ 6:00 – DMS
