 * Minutes from Secondary Coaches Meeting March 13, 2007**

Attendees: Mason Gregg, Ben Nuebel,, Heidi Dudley, La Donna Lenz, Linda Gray, Boni Hamilton, Randy Stall, Mike Porter

Last meeting of the year is May 8, site TBD, and it is a dinner meeting with Dan providing the food.
 * 1) **Booster Websites:** Heidi asked about district policy regarding websites that are created by booster groups who have links on the school web site to the booster web site. In some cases the booster sites are not in compliance with FERPA and district guidelines. There is currently no board policy that deals with this specific issue. Coaches and Mike and Randy agreed that booster groups should be made aware of existing policy, i.e., no complete names, no addresses with names, no names with photos, etc. If the booster site is not in compliance, the link will be removed.
 * 2) **Student Electronic Devices:** Ben asked about district policy regarding searching a student’s thumb drive. Most students at PMS have these usb drives, and the concern is scholastic dishonesty. The consensus of all present was that the policy governing locker or backpack searches would apply to thumb drives as well. The policy says that an administrator may search a student’s locker or backpack if reasonable cause exists. Dan is working on a laptop policy and coaches would like to include all personal electronic devices in the policy.
 * 3) **United Streaming:** The district is close to an agreement with United Streaming that would make PBS content available in high resolution, at no cost.
 * 4) **Vista:** The district does not have Vista in house yet, so the micro techs have not done any testing. They do know that RIS imaging won’t work. The current plan is to delay implementing Vista for as long as possible.
 * 5) **I Pod:** La Donna won the loaner I Pod to use for a month.
 * 6) **Congrats to Karl:** Karl will be presenting to the School District of Palm Beach County 2007 Technology Conference. Karl, you make us proud!
 * 7) **Meeting Dates:** Next meeting is April 10, at HHS. Heidi will provide gourmet snacks.
