Truth in Recruiting Meets Aug 5

Moving forward on Truth in Recruiting!

 

When:  Sunday August 5 6:30-8 pm

Where: Kaladi Brothers on Brayton Drive

 

To some who haven't made it to recent meetings - we have been working

with the Anchorage School District on developing procedures the high

school administrators must follow when dealing with recruiters

(military and college)  in the schools  These procedures will be

implemented this school year.  We have made progress, but we still

want to see the rubber meet the road.

 

Here are some topics for our August 5 meeting - to discuss and figure

out where we want to put our energies:

 

1.  Where we're at on school district procedures

 

2. Moving from procedure to policy:

 

     * Do we want to try to get the Daily News, the Press or KUDO to do

       a story on this work? This will put the pressure on ASD to know

       this is serious work.

     * Do we want to keep working toward a board policy?

     * Shall we organize a large group to sign up for "3 minutes of

       testimony on nonagenda items" at an upcoming board meeting?

 

3.  Adopt-a-School

 

     * Need volunteer to get ASD permission to post brochures for this

       next school year

     * Training?  Presence at schedule pick-up days?

     * Eyes and ears for implementation of new procedures

 

4. Outreach

 

     * Webpage, YouTube, blogging - Who're the internet whizzes in this

       group?  Just the opportunity!

     * Develop materials on the history of non-violent movements

 

5.  Other topics....?

 

See you in August!
