Agenda Topics

  • Approve March Minutes
    • Motioned: Wyatt 2nd: Michelle
  • Glance at the budget (Matt)
    • We have approximately $19,000 left to spend this year. We want to at least be under $12,000 by June 30th.
  • Vote on how to use excess money (Matt)
    • Becca motioned to approve the 5th grade team conference and the book vending machine with the caveat that if there is enough money we will also put $6500 towards the Chromebooks and/or iPads. Michelle seconded. All were in favor.
      • Book Vending Machine - approx. $6500
      • Grade level Chromebooks - 3rd grade needs them, Kindergarten and first grade need iPads. Matt has money from other budgets that could be used. We could decide how much money to spend on this.
      • 5th grade team conference - approx. $6200 This is a Solution Tree Conference the 5th grade team has requested to attend. It is in Iowa at the end of June. Matt and Lindsey attested to it being a very beneficial conference and that the 5th-grade team would be the advocates for the rest of the teachers.
    • Review SIP Plan data (Matt)
      • Everything is pretty much the same as the March Meeting
    • Review mini-grant requests (Matt)

        • 3d printer - $700 already ordered
