Rezoning

Ken Marsh and Bill Storms spoke to SAC regarding the plan to redistrict 158 students from Ashton to Lakeview next year.  There will be adequate time for discussion (see attached timeline).  Overcrowding at Ashton is the cause for the redistricting proposal.

A motion was made by D. Flessner to approve the roster and meeting dates/times as presented.  The motion was seconded by N. Forbes and unanimously approved by SAC.

 

Bylaws Approval/Orientation

A motion was made to approve the Bylaws as presented by D. Mrstik and seconded by N. Forbes.  The SAC unanimously approved the motion.

 

Election of Chairperson, Vice Chairperson and Secretary

Officers elected to serve for the 2003-2004 school year are: 

 

            Chairperson, L. Knight

            Vice Chairperson, M. Behrman

            Secretary, J. Yahraus

 

Review/Approve Adequate Progress and SIP

SAC members were provided a notebook containing a wide variety of SAC information.  The group reviewed the Report of Adequate Progress and the School Improvement Plan.  Edits to the SIP were:

            Math Goal – change “CCC” to “ILS”

            Science Goal – add “utilize technology”

 

The motion to approve the SIP with the changes was made by G. Gibbs and seconded by G. Laessig.  SAC unanimously approved the motion.

 

A+ Funds

The formula for the use of A+ Funds in the past was reviewed (see attachment).  Historically, 75% of the funds have been used for staff incentives and 25% of the funds have gone for school expenditures determined by SAC members.  (See attached formula).

 

SAC unanimously agreed to use the same formula again this year.  The motion was made by L. Knight and seconded by K. Usman.  Points of clarification were:

 

  • Staff who worked at another school last year would have to decide if they are accepting money from their previous school or from Lakeview.  They cannot accept money from both.
  • Taxes will be taken out of everyone’s check, as usual.

 

State Equity Laws

The Policy Against Discrimination was discussed.

 

The meeting was adjourned at 4:45 p.m.  The next meeting is October 15, 2003 at 3:15 p.m. in the Lakeview Media Center.

 

Respectfully Submitted,

 

Kyle Lundquist

Interim Secretary
