You can exit starting at 3:15 pm on Monday-Thursday and 12:00 on Friday. Once the door is fixed the door would go back to being an EXIT ONLY door. Once the door is fixed it would be announced to the school in the morning announcements. The door could be used for loading and unloading of school related equipment with staff supervision. || 15 minutes || 50 || 15 || passed ||
 * 03/19/10 || Zach (Ken) || Kitchen Proposal. This proposal was refined by the newly formed Kitchen Committee after having been brought before ASM earlier in the year. The Kitchen Committee proposes that a certification process be established to permit properly trained students to use the kitchen. Mitchell Fisher, will help devise certification sessions that will be offered once a month. Mitchell will also devise a list of who has priorities in the use of the space, materials, dishes and silverware. Part of the training will include what can be used and when. Students will sign up ahead of time to attend the monthly certification sessions. Certification is good for the entirety of the school year, unless the student loses kitchen privileges. Kitchen users would need to get re-certified every school year. A list of names of students certified to use the kitchen will be posted there (in paper). Rules for using the kitchen, as devised by Mitchell and the kitchen committee will be demonstrated through the training, and posted on the wall of the kitchen. Any member who violates the rules will lose kitchen use privileges, but may regain them once during a school year by completing another kitchen training. We propose a two tiered system of certification: Tier 1: Borrowing and Washing Dishes. Tier 2: Cooking. Ways to lose certification: Leaving a mess, not cleaning up. Not returning borrowed dishes or silverware in a timely manner silverware must be returned (within the day, dishes within 2 days). Disrespecting materials. Taking food that is not allowed. Not following rules and protocols of the kitchen. Students who use the kitchen without certification would go straight to JC. This would go into effect after spring break of 2010. || 10 minutes || 24 || 17 || passed ||

 * 02/05/10 || James (Jess) || AMMENDED proposal from 1/29/10 I propose that a staff member shouldn't be necessary for hosting the gaming night as long as there is a responsible adult in charge that is educated in building responsibilities (as in how rooms were before the gaming night and making sure they're in order when we leave.) Reasons for me creating this proposal is because it's near impossible to find a willing staff member to stay the night through the gaming night and we are able to find more than enough willing adults. This is a one time exception. All those students who want to come need to have signed up by Wednesday so it is clear how many students attended. || 5 || 62 || 7 || passed ||

Please try to pay before the deadline of February 9th. Some of the $20. will go towards food, drink and the rest will go towards our Frisbee Season (registering, and food and drinks during the game). We will accept money at the door but the price will go up to $23. (It is important that we have the money before the deadline or else we can't plan out how to budget the food). Presently there is Alex Lilinquests mon, Jess's student teacher's husband and neighbor as chaperones. For the even to happen there has to be at least one Trillium Staff member present during the event as well as a staff member that helps with the money. (These can be the same people). James will also check in with Stephanie to see if the two chaperones can legaly be chaperones. THey may need to get background checks. || 5 || 55 || 7 || passed ||

It will be $2.00 at the door and $1 for a photo. It will be from 7-10. There will be decorations and snacks, but NOT dinner. We would like to borrow $60 from the all school budget to spend on decor and snacks. We would like any decorations and snacks to be given Ana, Tabitha or dropped off in Amy's room. Ana, Tabitha, Reggi and other helpers will come at 5:00 to help set up. Ana will DJ. You are required to wear a mask. If you don't have one you can make one at the dance for 50 cents.

 * 06/05/09 || Genevieve || We would like the front parking lot to become a beautiful and vibrant gathering space which embodies the energy and spirit of Trillium. We would like to work with the City Repair Project to help guide us through the process they call "Place Making". This year long process of creating a community gathering space is another way to strengthen and build community. It relies on community members to participate in the creation of ideas and implimentation of the project. Typically such projects include permanent structures such as cob sculptures, seating areas, shelter and art. The pavement is removed in places and those parts that remain are painted by the community with agreed upon designs. The finished result is a beautiful, long lasting, usable space. This placemaking process would connect us a larger community in Portland working on similar projects.

 * (05/01/09) || Stephanie || //**Legal Response to skateboarding rule that was passed on April 24th.**// According to Oregon State Law, all persons under the age of 16 must wear a helmet to skateboard, rollerblade, or ride a bike. It is also against Oregon State Law for charter schools and other public and private schools to create rules or try to supersede state law. In other words, it is illegal for Trillium to have a rule that allows something that the state law does not allow. Therefor, the ruling passed by the ASM on the use of helmets is struck down. If modifications need to be made, they need to go through a new ASM proposal. || 2 minutes ||  ||   ||   ||

Brick work. Cobblestone, or wooden architecture." The document also says anyone over the age of 16 can skate without a helmet on the sidewalk 24 hours a day.)// Those who do skate without helmets agree to create posters to encourage younger students to wear helmets.
