Our district staff purposely didn't write things into minutes that they didn't want in the minutes. Not saying that to be cynical, but just for parents reading this to be aware it does happen sometimes. If it didn't, I doubt that there would be so many suggestions in places like wrightslaw etc to record meetings smile

ps - the way we dealt with the issue of items not appearing in the minutes was for us (parents) to write our own summary of what was discussed at the team meetings right away after the meeting was over, then send it via email to all the team members and ask if the members agreed this was what was said. That gave them the chance to disagree with something they'd insisted on during discussion but didn't want to put in writing because it was either not legal, untrue, against district policy, or was bullying - which sadly did happen at our meetings.
