Roles of the Board:

1. Approve/Clarify/Deny project proposal forms in September.

   • Clarify: Most students who get a “Clarify” stamp on their project proposal form did not describe their project in enough depth. Be sure to make your proposal clear enough that anyone could read it and immediately understand what it is that you hope to undertake with your Senior Project.

   • Deny: Students who get a “Deny” stamp on their project failed to: 1) Proposed something that does not constitute a learning stretch for themselves 2) Have an SP idea that is objectionable in light of school policy, personnel, and funds.

2. Establishes SP deadlines and makes official adjustments if needed throughout the school year.

3. Immediately meet with parents and students who fail any component of the SP process.

Advisory Board meetings typically are held during conference period or Wildcat Business period in the SP office. Any student who needs to meet with the Board will be notified by their SP teacher, a note/pass, or a phone call home.
