Meeting Objectives:

Old BusinessI. Budget Information: Kathy Smith went over the budget handout. We’ve purchased 4 palm pilots for $811.01, 35 headphones for our computer lab for $249.85, Terra Nova Practice Tests for $637.67 and spent the remainder of the library book budget on Accelerated Reader Tech Support and 4 large orders of books.
II. PLC Discussion: Mr. O. said we may have to move 1 preschool to Cromer; not sure about the Flagstaff Cooperative PS.
III. ELD Classroom: Mr. O. went over the handout of possible ELD teachers. Mandated by the state. Mr. O. will have to present this to the board at a later date.
IV. Christensen Presentation: Mr. Laird, Mrs. B. Campbell, Mrs. Seyler, Mrs. Koenig and Mr. O. presented to the School Board and did a GREAT job. Mr. O. was very proud of our staff members.
V. PTIO Activities: A cake walk/game night is rescheduled for tomorrow night, 2/27, at 6 pm. Spring BINGO will be in April and will be called “SPRINGO” and we can yell “BOING” when getting a bingo.
Sammy James has offered to paint a Pirate for our school to hang at the end of the front hallway so people will see it when they first enter our building.
VI. Other Info: We raised $1500 for JumpRope for Heart. The BOC concert has been rescheduled for 3/6 at 6:00 pm.
New BusinessI. New Purchase Requests:
A.New White Boards: Seven teachers did not get a new version of a computer. We are all caught up on cafeteria tables. We need a couple of white boards. Mrs. Noyes & Rosie would like a white board and so would our preschools. Teachers like the magnetic white boards. We should order at least 5 more.
B.Parent Surveys: Parent Surveys: Cindy needs to know when to do the parent surveys. 150-175 returned when they were paper/pencil. Could we possibly hand out at conferences? They won’t have them available by then. In the past, PTIO handled the “rewards” for bringing back the surveys such as ice cream, etc. to the classes with the most returned.
What did we do that benefits our children? Mrs. Koenig liked the PTIO events for the families held at night, Rosie thinks that possibly the ELD classes will be beneficial, Pam is glad that Rosie’s getting a whiteboard, Marilyn appreciates all the work that Mr. O. & Cindy Noble have done to look at the ELD staffing, Cindy liked the JumpRope for Heart program.
Next Site Council meeting: Our next meeting will be March 25th, 2008 at 4:30 pm in the Music Room. Marilyn Noyes will chair.
The meeting was adjourned at 5:21 pm.
