This is from Jeromy. Please read this and post your thought
"Thanks for responding to my suggestion positively. Numbering the forms could be done easily either by:
1) writing in by hand one by one or
2) using a hand-held automatic numbering machine, which is sold at Staples, to accomplish it.
If nobody objects, I am volunteering to get the numbering machine and have the forms properly numbered on Saturday morning. I just need to have someone bring the printed forms to the school's cafeteria by 9 and I should have them done in time for the meeting.
To distribute the forms properly and ensure one survey form per family, I am suggesting that PTA recruit a dozen or so parent volunteers and acquire student names listed by class/grade in advance. The volunteers will be pre-assigned per class/grade and given the number of forms matching the number of students on each given list. Each parent can claim a form per his/her kid's class/grade from the volunteer, who will then cross out the name of the student once his/her parent has got the form. (Any unclaimed forms must be returned at the end of the meeting.) This can be done pretty quickly as the volunteers will work simultaneously. The keys for its success are:
a) recruiting enough volunteers in advance and pre-assigning them to classes/grades per student name list;
b) getting student name lists by classes/grades from Admin;
c) making signs (such as Grade 1A, etc) which will direct parents to appropriate tables to get the forms; and
d) asking the school Admin staff to cross out on the lists the name(s) of any younger sibling(s) whose parents will claim the form under their first child’s name. This last measure will prevent us from giving out more than one form to any family. (This may not be an issue if the number is not too significant.)
Let’s work together to have the process done correctly and to minimize any potential skepticism and misunderstanding!
Jerome Jin"

PS: Please come to NWCS cefeteria by 10:30a.m. this coming Saturday in case volunteers are in need to assist the process. Thanks!

Great, Jeromy. I like you idea and thank you for your volunteering. I will be there.
Yes, a big "Thank You" for the work.
Good job Jeromy, but did you notice they won't publish the result, and this is on of reference, which means even every family did it, for board is just ONE OF REFERENCE! For example if one of them get 80% parent's vote, but board may be not choose him or her, this meeting just a reference. Anyone can have good idea about this? Bytheway, this meeting is required by that 22 parents group, the rule about this meeting also tell us something.
I think this going to be a test for this new BOD. I remember Peter said "he won't allow .... happen". Let's see what will happen. Remember future BOD meetings will be open to us, right?
I certainly will be there on Sat..
