The attendance was lower than anticipated due to other meetings happening on the same date. She reported that the Board is supporting continuing this conference at two sites next year. We are looking for more people to help with the conference. Let Kris or Becca Flowers know if you would like to help. Check out our KSSCA website!! Paula has put in many hours working on this. There are four newsletters per year posted on the website. Please let Kris know if you are not receiving them. We have been and will continue to email alerts to remind you that the Newsletters are posted. Also future topics for the newsletters will be posted for input from other counselors. Magnets are on the KSCA table with the website address on it. Kris then introduced a special guest – Stefanie Speer. Stefanie is our scholarship recipient for this year. Next on the agenda was the presentation of KSCA Counselor of the Year Award. Nadine Bailey was named Counselor of the Year and presented with a plaque. Several members of her family and school staff were able to be in attendance for this presentation. In New Business, Kris reported that KSCA has tried to focus on services we offer to school counselors but would entertain ideas for additional information that would be helpful for counselors. One comment was that lessons aligned to state standards would be appreciated. Please contact any board member for possibilities. A question brought up asked if there was any way to post job openings and Kris said that we would check on it. Before the meeting was adjourned, Val Beikmann presented Kris with the out-going Presidential Plaque and gavel; thanking her for all the work she had done this past year. Kris then asked for a motion to adjourn the meeting. Submitted by, Cathie Kunstel, Secretary-Treasurer 2007-2008 |
