3. SCC By-Laws
   1. Review- By-Laws reviewed
4. Review Land Trust and TSSA plans.- Land Trust and TSSA plans reviewed. 
5. Discuss Parent Compact feedback from the community
   1. I think something that will promote more focus on these areas is education through presentations, YouTube videos to watch at home with (interesting presentations of) statistics backing up what you are desiring from the community. Meeting with parents during PTC and presenting these materials (not more handouts) from someone who has charisma and an entertainment value that induces parents to spend 10-15 minutes listening to the importance and impact of your desired goals may work better towards your end game.

The committee in attendance suggested we produce short videos and send out small snippets of information in an effort to get the parent compact information disseminated effectively. 

Another suggestion included offering incentives for signed and returned forms.

Utilize the Shark Show as a form of delivery for the student compact pledge information. 

1. School Safety and Security
   1. Safety Drill report for August
      1. Fire Drill completed on 8/27/21: Successful. Did decide to change zone names to match the military alphabet for clearer reception. 
      2. 197 seconds (3 mins. 28 secs.)
2. Set Meeting Dates (2nd Thursdays?): The SCC members decided a 1st Thursday of the month would be more accommodating. Meeting dates as follows: Oct. 7; Nov.4; Dec. 2; Jan. 6; Feb. 3; March 10; April 14; May 5, 2021. Also, the committee selected to move the meeting time to 3:10 pm.
