Update to the Professional Development Budget:

New
Kindergarten Unit
According to the State Class Size Amendment, classrooms in kindergarten through 3rd grade must be at an overall student to teacher ratio of 18:1 and in 4th–5th grades at 22:1 by October 12, 2006. Lakeview was notified by the district that we were out of compliance in K-3rd. A decision was made to add a kindergarten unit. Ms. Bower explained that beginning with the 2008-2009 school year, class size will be determined by classroom ratios not primary and intermediate ratios.
Our new kindergarten teacher will be Amy Salameh.
School Recognition Award
A motion was made to approve our staff’s proposal for the A+ School Recognition Award: 80% to staff (4x for teaching certificate; 3x instructional, technology, and clinic aides and office staff; 2x all other classified positions) and 20% to Lakeview.
$82,719 Total A+ dollars to Lakeview
20% to school = $16,544
80% to staff = $66,175
Motion: Marian Behrman
2nd: Karen Harmon
Vote was held; unanimous approval.
A proposal was made to use the same formula in the coming years for distribution of the A+ dollars. There was insufficient support from the SAC/SDMT members.
A decision was made to vote on the distribution of the A+ money for next year. It was decided that this year’s process was acceptable and would be implemented next year. (The A+ plan used this year would be voted on by the staff. If it is not agreed upon by the majority of the staff members then other plans would be submitted.)
The meeting was adjourned at 4:45 p.m. The next meeting is scheduled for November 15, 2006.
Respectfully submitted by Kyle Lundquist, Secretary
