Minutes
- We reviewed the budget
- Could we spend more money on more aides??
- Could we assess which software programs are used and how frequently and which are seen to be effective by teachers?
- Can we spend more on books in vending machine?
- Could we add more books to the leveled library?
- Becca moved that we approve up to $3000 to replenish the vending machine as needed, with the stipulation that the student criteria be tweaked to be more personal - especially thinking of struggling readers. All attendees were in favor.
- Could we purchase headphones for all grade levels?
- There is a small budget for Calming Corner.
- ½ day paid for Acadience assessing worked well. This will be the plan moving forward.
- We looked at Acadience data - math data not finished yet. Percentage of students above benchmark in reading went down 2%. Teams had a data dive last week to make a plan to intervene/remediate.
- Any ideas on SIP goal change?
- Looking at a specific amount of time each day for students to read with no strings attached. Put as part of an action plan under an SIP reading goal
- STEM designation is up. Application is due in October of 2025. The question was asked…are we moving forward with that? YES
