Called to Order 3:15; Majority in Attendance

I.                    Approval of Minutes

a.       Motion called for acceptance of minutes as corrected; seconded. Motion carried and minutes were approved.

                                                               i.      Correction from 3/11/2008:  Section II a.  This is necessary to maintain our inclusion model.

II.                 Principal’s Report & Budget Update

a.       Budget Arena was held 3/14; goal was to maintain staffing and prioritized list.  It was discovered that the Career Specialist position is funded by the district and is, therefore, not a savings to the building to have anything less than a 1.0 FTE and so it will be staffed full time.  Also, the district would not honor our conditions for the AP so the principal made the executive decision to maintain our current staffing model with the Dean of Students position and submitted a waiver which was approved. The SEA Board approved our request for waiver for the .9 FTE for the Special Education certificated position. The Special Education program can remain as is. Monies from I-728 can be used for class size reduction, professional development, and collaboration.

b.      We are looking at the Master Schedule now. Of consideration are blocking, looping, balancing math classes, common preps, and personnel schedules (.6 FTE, etc.)

c.       Tuesday, 4/8, will be a staff meeting to discuss the remodel.  The BEX team will be here to share information.  The first phase begins this summer.

 

III.               New Business

a.       Book Fines – What is our policy?  A general discussion followed regarding what some persons had experienced in the past.  The principal will send out an email to Allstaff to garner feedback for further discussion.
