Human Rights Commission Minutes <br />February 19, 2014 <br />Page 2 of 10 <br />Public Comment <br />There being no one present wishing to speak to the Commission on an item not on the agenda, <br />the chair moved to the next agenda item. <br />Old Business <br />Discussion and Evaluation of Top Scoring Essays: Ms. Collins reviewed the evaluation process <br />of the student essays. She requested the Commission select the top scorers for first, second, third <br />and honorable mention. She reported the Commission could have several honorable mention <br />candidates to ensure that each class was represented. <br />Commissioner Grefenberg recalled that in the past honorable mentions were presented to ensure <br />each school was represented. However, only one school was submitting essays for the contest <br />this year. He did not believe that each class had to be fairly represented within the contest. For <br />this reason, he believed the HRC had the freedom to decide which essays were first, second, <br />third and honorable mention. He asked staff to report which essays ranked high and in what <br />order, based on the raw scores. <br />Ms. Collins reported essay # 18 received a score of 165, essay #114, received a score of 160.5, <br />and essay #103 received a score of 160. The honorable mention candidates would be as follows: <br />essay #29 with a score of 150, essay #17 with a score of 140, essay #27 with a score of 139.5, <br />and essay #102 with a score of 139. <br />Commissioner Courneya asked if the HRC wanted to recognize an honorable mention from each <br />class, given the fact that one class had English as a second language. She was impressed with <br />how well each of the essays were written this year. <br />Commissioner Grefenberg discussed the strong essay scores from each of the classes. He was in <br />favor of awarding the top awards (first, second and third) to essay numbers #18, #114 and #103. <br />Ms. Collins explained that the scores for second and third were only a half point different. Due <br />to this fact, the HRC could choose to award one first place, two second-place winners and then <br />select essay #29 as the third place winner. This would allow another class to be represented. <br />Commissioner Courneya and Youth Commissioner Thomas supported this suggestion, as did <br />Commissioner Grefenberg. <br />Selection and Ranking of Winning Essays: Commissioner Grefenberg moved and Vice Chair <br />Becker seconded a motion to award the top essay winners as follows: First Place - Essay #18, <br />Second Place — Essays #114 and #103, and Third Place — Essay #29. Motion passed <br />unanimously. <br />Chair Groff requested the HRC now select essays for honorable mention. <br />
