Minutes Lewis approved minutes Todd provided a second and passed unanimously.
Working on 2015-16 School Community Council Plan:
Approximately $19,000 to operate with
Goal 1) provide an after school mentoring program. Provide incentives
for students, possibly snacks for students in attendance. Possibly
require students who are failing to attend. Possibly $2000 to staff
it. $1000 for incentives for students.
Goal 2) keep debate available in the schedule. Cost to buy prep this
year was about $5194.86. Mrs Breinholt said she would be willing to
do this if we can't find a part time English teacher. Thinking it
would be about $6,000 teacher and $400 for periodical this coming year
to adjust it for reality if we get a person. Currently the wording
will not change.
Goal 3) keep drama and provide for materials for fine art classes.
This last year it cost about $7600 for teachers and $300 supplies.
This next year we need to keep the teacher pay at $7600 and possibly
$300 for choir.
A vote was taken to approve the changes in goal 1 and keeping goal 2 &
3 the same. Lewis made a motion to accept proposed changes, Kathy
provided a second and it unanimously passed.

language is getting changed to say a part time para being paid para wages. Goal #2 provide the opportunity for students to take speech
and debate. If possible find a part time teacher to teach some English classes so time is freed for this option. Because no part
time teachers were found the money was used to buy Mrs. Breinholt's prep so there was room in the schedule. Because no teacher was found
the language needs to be changed to reflect this in the trust land goal? Goal #3 provide the opportunity for students to have some fine
