BGA School Representative Responsibilities
- Host one BGA school coffee per year
- Introduce our group to the Principal and meet once per year
- Market our BGA events in PTSA newsletter (if not done by Stephanie) and via flyer postings at school
- Bring school based issues and needs to awareness of BGA leadership
Bellevue Gifted Alliance Norms
- BGA leadership team addresses issues that affect each and every child in gifted/AL, identified and unidentified. (We can discuss specific issues regarding our own children outside of meetings)
- BGA respects the timing of the agenda—we won’t take 30 minutes on something that was slated for 5 minutes. The meetings will start and end on time. If you arrive late, please don’t interrupt the meeting to get caught up.
- If a person can’t make a meeting, he/she can send his/her viewpoint to the secretary via email.
- What is said in the meeting stays in the meeting, including notes/minutes. If we decide to share minutes/notes outside our group, it must be a group decision.
- Give members the benefit of the doubt if a mistake is made. Mistakes should be owned.
- Members will be respectful to one another during meetings, encouraging open thoughts and feedback.
- Encourage members and constituents to be direct in feedback. It reduces triangulation, reduces the burden on a third party, and reduces miscommunication (and drama).
- To be in the leadership group, a member must come to 50% of the meetings.
- If you sign up to volunteer at an Event and cannot come, please find a substitute.
