Single Plan for Student Achievement
  • Mike George went over the SPSA with members and noted where changes needed to made. He informed members he will need to change some of the percentages to meet requirements set by the state and federal governments. Discussion by members followed.

    Principals have been given a short amount of time in which to complete this plan and must submit it to the district by Monday, March 10. Because of this, Mike has asked permission of the SSC to revise the plan with the Chairperson and then submit it to the district by the deadline.

    Dave Page informed members that the SPSA is not set in stone, and we can modify it as many times as necessary to meet our needs throughout the year. Mike and Dave will align the plan with the budget. Members will have the opportunity to review the plan at the next regularly scheduled meeting.

    Dan Swierczynski motioned that the Chairperson review and sign the SPSA with the opportunity for future review and revision if requested, and it was seconded by Kelly Padilla. All in favor, motion passed.

Site Governance Team Minutes

*** Special Meeting ***
 
 
Attendance:

Site Governance Team Members Present: Mike George, Frank Ciriza, Dan Swierczynski, Eleanor Evans, Dina Weiss, Louise Park, Dave Page, Michelle Cook

Absent: Jennifer Kelley, Marla O’Connell

Guest: Paulette Fillion, Sue Ericson, Kelly Padilla, Savannah Parker (Student Rep.)

The meeting was called to order at 4:25 p.m. Quorum was met.

2008-09 Budget
  • Mike George informed members that he was basing 2008-09 budget on a projected enrollment of 641 students, 690 including special ed. Enrollment is down 140 students from last year. We are allotted 21.6 teachers next year based on 641 students. Mike had to give verbal notices to six staff members today, including one counselor. Next year there will be one Principal, one Vice Principal (based on 1 per 800 students), two Counselors, two School Clerk II positions (Registrar and Attendance), and one Financial Clerk. Office staff will be cut, and the Guidance Aide had to be released.

    Mike would like to request that we fund 20% of Adrienne Randle’s position (Registrar) from Title I monies to make up for releasing the Guidance Aide. He would also like to fund 30% of Maria Montgomery’s position (ELST), with 50% from the EIA budget funded by the district, for a total of 80%. Besides her ELST duties, Mike would be able to use Maria as a Resource Teacher with Second Language students. Classrooms staffed at 36 students per class right now for next year.

    Last year we were $200,000 in the red when Mike started. That is about how much we are short for next year right now. We are told that all of our budgets will carry over next year, except only 15% of Title I monies (approx. $22,400).

    Principals have 72 hours to get the budget completed and submitted to the district by Friday, March 7.

    Frank Ciriza motioned to approve the Governance portion of the budget, and it was seconded by Louise Park. Seven members were in favor, and Eleanor Evans opposed. Eleanor stated that she was very concerned about the loss of positions (admin., certificated, and classified), as well as actions the administration, the district, and the state are requiring of us at this time. Motion passed.

Next Meeting
  • March 27, 2008 at 4:15 p.m. in library.

Adjournment
  • The meeting adjourned at 5:33 p.m.
