TECHNOLOGY
We hired Dayton Cincinnati Technology Services in August. Purchased a new server and did the data transfer process in “active” time. First quarter grades/reports went smoothly – a big step for us.  Server technician works 4hr.week. In-school tech (Ed Farmer) is getting the office and teachers up and running. Web and email issues are resolved. Teacher welcome pages 100% active.
 

GOALS
Many thanks to Annette Dodsworth and the teaching staff for doing a yeoman’s job with prep for our school accreditation and review process. The OCSAA process involves a two-year review. Precious Blood is in the second of the two years. We met in the fall to review our two, main school goals (the Catholic identity goal involves the development of our students as respectful persons [to themselves and others]; the academic goal is aimed at improving student performance on math word problems). On October 17, Sr. Helen did a comprehensive review of our work as prep for the Team visit on January 15 and 16. Her findings gave us time to work on areas of concern (most involve minor housekeeping details) prior to that team visit.

ODE AUDIT
Precious Blood underwent an audit by the Ed Choice staff from ODE. Ed Choice students receive tuition vouchers from the state of Ohio because their local public school has underperformed on state report card indicators. We have 66 students in the program. Those students are expected to take all state achievement tests. The reporting obligations for our school are considerable. Precious Blood met all expectations but one: we need to obtain proof of residency verification for all Ed Choice students.

COMMUNITY.
Students have learned all the routines for school and, in general, have done a good job of meeting our expectations. Some focused work on respect, teasing, and gossip is being done with the 7^th grade. Eighth grade students did a very nice job of serving the entire school the traditional Thanksgiving luncheon. Special thanks go out to the cafeteria staff, Bill Wilbanks, Larry Sutherland, Annette Dodsworth and Brenda Ricciuto for all the extra effort they put in to the event to make it a positive one. 

Students in grades 6-8 will be participating in the Victoria Theatre Association Holocaust education series this winter. The series involves work in class, performances at the Victoria Theatre, a visit to the Holocaust museum in order to develop a sense of local and global need for justice. 

FAITH
Mass and prayer service schedules have been set for the year. Teachers and classes have a strong ownership for “their” services. Our new DRE, Sharon Perkins, works very hard at designing prayer services that are meaningful for our kids and staff. We are blessed to have her with us.

TESTING
Students in grades 2, 4, 6, and 8 all participated in the Terra Nova testing series. All students in diocesan schools take those exams. Results will be available in mid-December. Students in grade 3 all participated in taking the reading portion of the Ohio Achievement Test in October. Results were returned to us in late November and we are reviewing them with staff now.

 In addition to Dan's report he stated:
Ø       Technology is improving inch by inch.
Ø       Check the school website for any updated information
Ø       Every teacher/staff has a Welcome page up and running.
Ø       Now have reliable email.
Ø       Laptops stay @ school unless student doesn't have a computer at home.
Ø       Hope to purchase flash drive for $2-$3.00 for students but haven't seen any for that price.

DISCUSSION:
Ø       Is Ed Farmer certified to teach Internet Safety for Kids?
Ø       Lap Tops and CPUs are available at Lexis Nexus for free.
        ·         Schools require certain standards for their computer systems.  To meet these standards by obtaining used computers may cost as much or more than the purchase of new ones.
Ø       Catholic School Identity
      ·         Goal is respect for themselves & others by living Gospel values.
      ·         This goal was set by the school staff.
      ·         Discussion on how this is achieved.  (See Principal's Report)
      ·         Present enrollment indicates that slightly over half of the student body is non-
            catholic. 
    o        Focus of Catholic Schools is changing and leaning more toward Evangelization.
    o        Precious Blood School provides a safe environment, good academics, and
              Catholic Christian values for all of its students.
    o        Non Catholic students are Christian and attend weekly Mass and Prayer service
              as well as participate in daily religion classes.

Ø       Fr. Bill's remarks:
      ·      Dan stepped forward after 33 years in the classroom and as principal.
      ·         He is a member of our parish
      ·         He has been asked to look at the day to day school operation.
      ·         He is an affective leader and Fr. Bill is grateful and pleased that he accepted the
            position.
Ø       Ed Choice students
      ·         Students of underachieving schools are eligible for tuition grants.
      ·         To qualify for these funds schools must meet required standards, which Precious
            Blood does except for student residential verification.
Ø       Dan's remarks:
      ·         Accepting this position has allowed him to marry his faith and professional life
            together.
      ·         It is a privilege to work in this atmosphere.
      ·         Grateful to Annette Dodsworth and the entire school staff for maintaining standard
            of excellence during his absence the last few months (previously planned vacation
            & volunteer work outside of the country)

No Old Business 

No New Business 

Fr. Bill's Remarks

Ø       Christ the King Sunday vespers and concert with the combine choirs from St. Paul, St. Rita and Precious Blood was wonderful.  160 were present.

Ø       Festival
·         Festival reorganization Committee met once.
·         Fr. Bill had unsuccessful conversation with CTU and Sisters on possible collaboration.
·         Parish Life Commission is exploring a summer social event for the parish.
·         Will need the help of those who were on the original reorganization committee.
·         Stewardship Commission will be looking to see if we need to raise any funds now that there are no funds generated by the demise of the Festival.

Regional Planning

Ø       In summer of 08 the 3 parishes (St. Paul, St. Rita and Precious Blood) will try one Saturday Mass. 

Ø       Because of worship space and parking availability, Precious Blood will be the host parish. 

Ø       Fr. Bill Distributed cover letter and survey for Council Members to critique.  Any suggestions should be returned to Fr. Bill by Thursday, 11/29/07.

 Motion placed on the floor since there was no pressing business, December meeting will be canceled.  All in favor.

 Meeting adjourned with prayer led by Linda Nurrenbrock

 Next meeting January 28, 2008
7:30 pm Church Meeting Room

COMMISSION REPORTS

Adult Faith Formation Report-submitted by Mark Moorman

 R.C.I.A.
On Sunday, November 11th, Precious Blood Church celebrated the Rite of Acceptance at the 10:30 Mass, and welcomed four adults into the Church. All four are baptized Christians, and prepare now to receive the Sacraments of Confirmation and Eucharist.
The cluster catechetical sessions move now from St. Paul’s Church to Our Lady of Mercy, before moving again in January to Precious Blood.

ADULT SCRIPTURE STUDY
The 6-week Scripture Study on The Names of Jesus concluded recently. Twenty-four adults participated, either on Thursday evenings with Mike Prier facilitating, or on Friday mornings with Mark Moorman. A sampling of the evaluations follows:

“Great program.  Loved the closing, "My Jesus Prayer".  Well organized sessions.  Provide more of these scripture studies.”

“I truly enjoyed this class.  It was structured in such a way that everyone could feel at ease regardless of their knowledge of scripture.  The class was faith-filled.  I will be interested in attending future offerings.”

“I thought it was truly beautiful, inspirational, helpful and thought provoking.  We had a wonderful and learned teacher and instigator.  And the closing "Art Work" was great!  Thanks Mike!”

“Study was very well done.  It was informative and instilled a sense in me of the power and majesty of God.  The study reinforced my love for God.”

“I think this was wonderful.  This is my third class and I really enjoyed all of them.  Thank you for offering them to us and I hope you will continue to offer different things to us.  Thanks Mike and Mark.”

“This was my first study group. I surprised myself as to how the readings and sharing with friends brought me closer in Christ. Mike did a wonderful job in his sharing and explanations.  Will do again.”

 “This has been a great format to use to study this wonderful topic.  I feel so blessed and at peace right now, and so privileged to be a part of this study.  This makes me all the more disappointed that my illness kept me from participating in the earlier studies.”

“I felt that this course was very informative and I got a lot out of it.  I wanted to know a lot more about Jesus and you helped me to do that.  I thank you for that.  I know my studying also helped me.  I would sign up for another course.”

Parish Life Commission Minutes
November 26, 2007 

Attendees: Ron Boeckman, , Skip Ekhart, Chris Gulliford, Ray Fortener.
Regrets: Mari Temple, Luke Albers, Judy Long. 

Agenda distributed. 

1.) Café Anticoli Dinner Recap
            Skip provided a summary statement from Leo Anticoli which described the event and provided the amount that PB received.  Overall, PB received ~$800 from Anticoli’s and ~$700 from the desert sales.  This year we received 15% from all items sold by Anticoli’s.  The percentage is down a little from last year but last year the amount PB received was only on food items.  Attendance was down by roughly 100 people from last year (269 vs. 375).  The reasons for this are not precisely known but could be a conflicting UD basketball game, economic issues, the limited menu, etc.  The mood during the event was great and overall it was deemed a success.  There are plans to make this an annual event and it will be called the Annual Benefit Dinner.  Thanks to all who helped plan and execute.  Skip sent out thank you notes. 

2.) Committee Reports
            Leisure Club: The Leisure Club is working on the purchase of a food warmer for the
                 PAC. They are planning their Christmas gathering for December 27 in the school
                 cafeteria.
            Welcoming Committee: There were 5 new registrants in November. 

3.) Upcoming Events
             Appreciation Dinner (January)
             Anniversary Dinner (February)
             The Appreciation Dinner is scheduled for January 18, 2008.  The plan is to sick with last year’s outline in terms of caterer and entertainment.  There was discussion about, again, combining this event with the Anniversary Dinner.  Ron will contact the DJ and Skip will contact the caterer. 

4.) Open discussion

• There was discussion about events targeted replacing the Festival.  These events would be aimed at the social aspect but with the desire to generate some revenue if possible.  A single event to take the place of the revenue that the Festival provided would be challenging to plan for this year.  Ideas discussed ranged from a dance, a raffle or a flea market/dinner.

Next Meeting – January 28, 2008.

Future Meetings –          February 25, 2008
                                    March 31, 2008
