<br />Roseville Human Rights Commission Minutes <br />April 9, 1996 <br /> <br />Page 2 <br /> <br />VII. School Outreach <br />No report. <br /> <br />VIII. Student Commissioners <br />The Commission noted that there has been no response to the announcements <br />previously posted. Maertz suggested that someone on the Commission could <br />contact social studies teachers directly. Malark suggested contacting the <br />principal of Roseville Area High School, to see if there might be an opportunity <br />for a Commissioner to do some recruitment at a student assembly. <br /> <br />There was also extensive discussion on whether the Commission might have <br />more success in recruiting students if a second student representative seat were <br />to be added to the Commission. It was assumed that the Council would have to <br />approve of an increase in the size of the Commission. <br /> <br />Bergquist moved, Hermes seconded, that the Commission request Council <br />approval for an additional student member on the Commission. <br /> <br />Roll Call - Ayes: All present. <br /> <br />Nays: None. <br /> <br />Marcy Cordes will investigate what steps need to be taken to bring the request to <br />Council, and will report back at the next meeting. The Commission noted that <br />they anticipate that both student terms would commence in September, but <br />would like some flexibility on this requirement. Whether or not the student <br />members have full voting rights will need to be clarified. <br /> <br />IX. Other Business <br />A. Video Development <br />The Commission proceeded to discuss other options for the development <br />of the video, in light of the denial of the grant proposal. Susan Forsyth <br />and Thelma McKenzie discussed the possibility of submitting a project <br />proposal to the League, in order to get additional funds to finance the <br />project. <br /> <br />Susan Forsyth presented a video addressing "a day in the life" of disabled <br />students in the Osseo school district, which was viewed by the <br />Commission. Forsyth noted that the 1989 video, created before the <br />enactment of the ADA, was out of date with regard to the barriers issues it <br />addressed. Forsyth reported that the school district had given the <br />Commission permission to broadcast the video, and felt that parts of the <br />
