3. PUBLIC COMMENT
Darcy Teague, a teacher from Camelot Elementary, came in to talk about the recent Youth
Recognition Night that the Youth Commission had held. She had a student that she had
nominated this year. However, the reason why she came was because of her concern of how
things went this year compared to last year’s. Last year, there was a greater turnout than this
year’s. And she was expecting a more formal event. The commission came up with some
suggestions that would help next year’s Youth Recognition Night run smoother. We will try
and get approval form the city to send application through the inter-district mail so that
applications would reach the teachers faster. Next year, we will contact the families about
their child’s recognition. We will also really look at the nomination forms so that we can
prepare better speeches for next year. And overall, we plan to make the event more formal
and more organized so that dates do not conflict.
