Activities 1,2, and 3 are where the bulk of your points will come from.  The majority of your focus should be on presenting professional work. This means no spelling errors, the correct content information, the synthesis of past history and present circumstances, reflections on what you will do to change the problem you face, and demonstrating an open minded attitude.  Remember, the school board has the means to help you solve your problem, they are the ones to eventually give in, show them you mean business by being sincere in your work, professional in presentation of that work, and clear in your resolve to achieve your goal.
