3. Update: each department chair received a template of the SSC at C&I. Drafts will be shown to us at the November meeting.
   
   
4. It was agreed that it is difficult to document the "vital signs" portion of the template as directed by Ann Costello. The task is to look at goals 1-5 (on the SIP Proposal for Funding: Fall 2002) and vital signs 1-7 (on page 2 of the School Plan). Sarah O'Keefe said she'd work on it and bring it back to the group for additional tweaking.
   
   
5. The November 21 meeting will be at the C&I meeting in the west classroom of the library.
   
   
6. No public comment.
