Secretary’s Report (Marie): Currently, emails will be sent to the membership with a link to view the minutes on the website. Membership Report (Sarah):We currently have 32 paid, with approximately 15 coming in from the middle/high school meeting. Treasurer’s Report (Janet): $1453.15 balance in the checking account, with new membership money coming in. TAAAC Report: (Becki) Join the tutor pool, if you want to.#HelpHouston -- this is a TAAAC supported effort to raise funds to help Houston floods.TAAAC does not support the “dress code messages”, if you have been given these. *TAAAC has a new mobile-friendly website. Test it out. There is a “members only” section on the website that requires a one-time signup; it is not ready yet but will be soon. They also have Facebook and Twitter. The correct handbook is on the website. Oct 20th is MSEA day -- we have this year; don’t plan on it in the future because it may be cut. There is a retreat being offered for any TAAAC member -- it is paid for by TAAAC. Register online at biy.ly/Rep_Retreat_2017 if you’re interested. Every school has received a Faculty Advisory Council handbook; check with your TAAAC rep if you can’t find it. Old Business: Scheduling -- all events have been scheduled already and given to members; reminder emails will be sent (should we do Outlook invites?) New Business: Emails: regarding signing up (link) and paying online (via website) on WednesdayEmails: thank you to the new members! Make a new DL for EMAAAC Membership. Concerns that need addressed: Can the AACPS Library Media Services account be a thing that existed? For professional purposes -- to share articles, to share important things, etc -- as a backup/backchannel for the DL concept? Could this be a curated thing? Google Shared Drive -- Can we have a “Library Drive” where resources can be intentionally shared with all the librarians in the county? Do things need to be approved before they are shared? Is there a go-between? Google Classroom -- how do we set this up as a professional learning resource? Who admins it? Can anyone who works in a library be a member? NEXT EVENT -- Tuesday, September 26th, 4:30 -- 6:30 -- Panera Bread, Pasadena “Share your best teaching ideas, plans, etc” -- Topic: Media Literacy and how to teach it to all ages (or other relevant teaching&learning topics -- lmk) -- Marie will send an email introducing the topic AND inviting people to attend ................
