Considering: Should students have the opportunity to withdraw from the Academy before being forced to withdraw?
January 23rd 2022
Ford + Hugo: Meeting with Dr. Austin. AHC/DC reporting policy under discussion. Looking into the school’s laundry machine company/system, possibility of making laundry free for students. Feed fund for proctors will most likely increase. Preferred names on Greer/Koch Cafe orders. More booster shots available.
Jerry: Idea of opening the underground tunnel beneath the dinning hall was initially rejected due to security bounds, currently looking for another way. Trying to limit the number of APs assigned for certain violations. Certain violations result in too many APs given: forgetting an overnight form is seven APs, etc. Believes APs should be assigned for violations that somehow hurt school culture, such as a sit-down meal.

Chloe + Billy - Working with Lillian on covid at DA.
