• Action Item- Principal, Derek Murchison presented 2019-20 Budget and opened floor for discussion. Some highlights:
• The district uses a site-based budget wizard to monitor school plans and fund dispersal.
• Derek logged into wizard and reviewed allocations with the team. When you hover over the numbers, you can see what each money allocation pays for.
• Currently we have 41 teachers this year; allocation for next year is 39; 2 teachers retiring; no need to excess
• For prep next year; full time PE and computer teacher, art prep only 1 day per week next year. Will make up art in the classroom, PLC LTA program and through art position that is funded by the foundation. We will also move Ms. Kathy to another room, which is connected to a credentialed teacher room to ensure support.
• SGT input: Would rather upper grade teachers to have smaller class sizes instead of pullout support. Each year we will do what is best for kids rather than supporting “upper and “primary” teachers. The class size reduction teacher will probably get a 4/5 combo without IEP students.
• The district is allowing schools the monies to manage their own needs, which was piloted this year (and next). Schools must manage the monies appropriately in order to maintain the allocations at the school sites rather than district doing the funding
• We will begin parent meetings with translation during the school day to save monies used for translating services
• Voting- Laura Lopez-Hudson motioned to approve the 2019-20 budget as presented. Rosa Maria Reyes Lopez 2nd the motion. Motion approved; 8 yes; 0 No; 0 Abstain
