VII. Library Pass Bill:                               

1) Met with Dean Cole and Librarians, Dean Cole ok with it, but Librarians Against it

2) Mechem sees a problem not knowing where kids are, but a system could be that would show when students are signed in where

3) Mechem's reasoning is faulty, as the Math Help room could be accessed without visiting study hall first, or students can stay after with a teacher and arrive to study hall late

4) A lot of students go directly to resource, concerns are about kids just wandering, and a teacher having to deal with 15-20 passes thrust at them at the end of a block

5) There is more justification for wandering in the status quo, with kids able to blame long waits in study hall

6) In some crowded blocks, librarians control the flow of kids

7) Is there a way these points could be brought up with the librarians or Mechem?

8) When you enter library, passes are time stamped

9) Problem is teachers and librarians not looking at passes

10)Dean Cole said secretaries are happy to deal with the library passes

11) Question is called on the bill

12) Bill passes
