IV.     Old Business
a)Â Â Â Â Â Mural- Emily S.
The Proposal:
Whereas I am currently involved in my dream of painting a mural,
Whereas I am creating an interactive image which will inspire and excite thought,
Whereas I will paint robed, celebrated figures sitting upon clouds in a sky of provocative text that will incite curiosity and instill contemplation and reflection,
Whereas these are the core values of Socratic education, and the mural is to housed upon the wall of the room where said learning takes place,
Whereas Operational Group also congregates in this room, and the values are embodied by them as well,
Whereas Operational Group has set the precedent of funding other murals in teachers classrooms,
Whereas Danielle finds the blank walls of her room drab,
Be it proposed that Operational Group provide support for the completion of the creation of this mural.

b)Â Â Â Â Â Op-Group: meeting time changed.
The Proposal
Whereas on Thursday October 28th, we have conferences and students are released at 11:45,
Whereas we cannot have Op Group on that day because of this,
Whereas every week numerous proposals are brought and students want to hear feedback from AGs as soon as possible
Therefore be it proposed that Op Group meet on Tuesday October 26th at the regular time.
A friendly amendment was made to change the date of the meeting to Monday, the 24th, during Lunch.
-Â Â Â Â Â Passed with no opposition.
VI.     Reports

Op-Group and Ad-Board notes will be edited for content (full names of students, citing specific incidents in proposals, etc.) before they are sent out on the Steller Flash. Original, un-censored, versions of the notes can be found in the Op-Group binder in the office. Any questions, talk to Harlod or Olivia.
An after-school Chinese program will possibly be offered starting in January. Discuss in advisory groups.
b)Â Â Â Â Â Staff
Intensive choices will be available on Monday.
c)Â Â Â Â Â Parent Group – none
VII.     Announcements
a)     Community Café
The Community Café meeting is scheduled for November 3rd, and for anyone who doesn’t know what that is, it is a friendly and comfortable “cafe” setting for the community to discuss Steller issues and ideas in a small conversation group. Invitations will be going out for this event but we are asking for permission from the students to allow food in the MPR. This will be brought to Op Group, but if the reps would get a feel for how their AG responds to this. We just want the students to have input in the matter.
