Approval of Agenda
The agenda was unanimously approved as distributed.
Minutes approved from last meeting.
- Introduction of next year’s new principal, Jef Nalwalker. Discussed the ways that he helped with teacher wellness at his previous school.
- 5th grade needing help with Safety Patrol from the community. Samantha Madej brought up concerns and needs for next year as she will be heading them up for next year. Would like to ask SCC to help with the end of year party cost and asking the community to help before and after school and at recess.
- Land Trust-a bigger surplus this year from the previous year. Overage $5577 estimated currently. Suggestion to incorporate music resources in to some of the goals so that Land Trust money can be used to help provide more resources for the kids to use. Estimated Music $1500 Shad will ask the music teacher for more detailed information on cost of needed instruments to see if using Land Trust money would be a good use of funds. Suggestion to use some of the funds to help with the Science Fair to help with STEM learning for the kids. Request for $1000 to use towards Science Fair.
- Request by Samantha Madej for reallocation of interventionists to 3 reading and 2 math. and to increase software spending from $3000 to $5000. Teachers could create wish list items that we can help with classroom materials.
