1.     MEETING MINUTES:

The minutes of the Board meeting of March 9, 2004 were reviewed.  A correction was made to the first sentence under paragraph “3” “A” to change the word “for” to “from”.  Another correction was made to the last line in the second paragraph of “3” “B” to change the name “Steward” to “Stewart”.

A motion was made and seconded to accept the minutes of March 9, 2004 as corrected.  Motion carried unanimously.

2.   COMMITTEE REPORTS:       

A.        Distribution Committee:

The Distribution committee presented Principal Manalili’s suggestions as to the timeframe for the solicitation and submission of proposals from the faculty and staff of Kaimuki High School. 

A lengthy discussion followed regarding what the Foundation’s goals should be with regard to funding projects.  The following issues/questions were raised and discussed:

1.                  How much of the money raised each year should be designated for funding short-term projects?

2.                  How much, if any, should be set aside for a long-term project?

3.                  Should a grant-writer be paid from the Foundation funds to assist in securing Weinberg Foundation money?

4.                  Should the Foundation fund a facilitator to assist the school in identifying and determining the institution’s short term and long-term goals?

5.                  How should the Foundation allocate its money?  Should it provide larger amounts of funds to a small number of projects, or a smaller amount of funds for a larger number of projects?

6.                  Should the Foundation donate money to the ROTC, NHS and Ohana O Mele for donating their time to assist with the Fundraiser each year?  If so, how much should be given to each group?

Dennis Manalili explained some of the school’s plans, priorities and associated expenses:

1.                  The Tech Coordinator position requires approximately $20,000 from the budget.

2.                  Utilizing the District Reserve position which is located at Jarrett Middle School to teach KHS students for credit at Jarrett after school on Jarrett’s new videography equipment.

3.                  Creation of a graphics design class/curriculum, which will require air-conditioned space.

4.                  Identifying and developing those programs which will define KHS, such as graphic arts, fine arts, teaching and travel.

It was decided that the goals of the Foundation would be the topic of discussion at the next Foundation meeting.

B.                 Fundraising Committee:

The following groups were mentioned as possible performers at a Battle of the Bands:  King Pins (Harvey Yamashita), Classic Souls (Brian Umamoto), Dimensions (Leighton Oshima), Coachmen (Stewart Suzuki), and the Flashbacks (Dalton Tanonaka).  

It does not look likely that we will be able to contact Jake Shimabukuro.
