 I. Introduction
In accordance with DepEd Order No. 4G; s. 2012 and the provisions of the 1987 Philippine Constitution, this meeting was convened to discuss and
strengthen initiatives that uphold the rights and welfare of students within Flores Elementary School. The State is mandated to protect children from all forms
of neglect, abuse, cruelty, and exploitation, while also ensuring that they receive proper care, nutrition, and an education that fosters personal and social
development
Furthermore, educational institutions are entrusted with the responsibility of instilling patriotism, nationalism, respect for human rights, ethical values,
and critical thinking among students. In line with the principles of the Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC), this meeting also seeks to reinforce policies
that provide a safe, inclusive, and child-friendly learning environment. Discussions will center on ensuring that school discipline is administered with dignity
and fairness, and that measures are in place to encourage student attendance, reduce dropout rates, and promote a culture of safety and respect. With these
guiding principles, the meeting will address key topics relevant to the school's commitment to fostering a secure, nurturing, and rights-based educational
environment.
II. Review and approval of the previous minutes
