SEAN vice-presidents Lucas and Al Brooks, along with myself, participated in a PAUSD meeting on 2/24/09 on minority achievement, as part of the district's Increasing Academic Achievement for Students of Color Committee (IAASC).  The meeting included staff, parents and students, along with Superintendent Skelly.  The meeting was facilitated by Ruth Whalen from the district, and Marvina White from the Parent Network for Students of Color led off comments from the parent perspective.  I gave an update on SEAN activities, and Lucas and Al participated in the break-out sessions, which led to a list of consensus ideas on possible improvements to pursue.  Also there from Paly were Unity Club president Kevin Ward, Unity Club faculty advisor Letitia Burton, among others.  The next follow-up meeting will be on April 23rd.
