9/12/07 SAC/SDMT Minutes Reviewed and
Approved - Ms. Bower noted that Dan Barnes should be added as a
member absent on 9/12/07 minutes. The new classified member, Jackie Mendolia,
was welcomed at this meeting.
Proposal to Amend 30-Hour ActivBoard
Training: A presentation was presented by Ms.
Bower. Currently the training is very
intense. The district is offering a
6-hour ActivBoard “basics” class. The
class was collapsed to 5-hours because teachers would then stay within 30-hour
blocks. Teachers have option for “module
six” instead of “basic”. Khizran Usman
motioned to approve and Marian Behrman seconded. Approved.
School Recognition Dollars: 20%
to school needs ($15,901.20). 80% to
bonuses. On October 3-4 there was a
secret ballot where 59 voted, 54 accepted the plan, and 5 rejected it. There were a total of 104 able to vote. Jackie Mendolia raised a concern that there
are three tiers for the 80% break down.
She noted that it is not fair to the classified personnel. They get the least amount from bonus
breakdown. Janet Cole noted time
constraints for trying to propose a new option.
A motion was made to accept by Teri Luthy and was seconded by Diane
Wall. There was a vote of 18 in favor, 1
opposed. Motion approved. SAC/SDMT and staff in agreement with
proposed distribution of funds.
How
to spend the 20% designated for school needs.
It cannot be recurring and must assist with bonuses, educational
equipment, materials, and/or temporary personnel to assist school in
maintaining or improving school performance.
Ideas: library books, basketball
courts, shading for PE areas, fitness equipment, computers, more computer
drops, wireless computers, shade over new portables, fitness videos for media
center, computers for substitutes, classified position to help with input data
and trained in EXCEL, slates for ActivBoard.
Ms.
Bower suggested we table ideas due to time frame and add it to the agenda for
next month.
Geoffrey
Gibbs suggested that Ms. Bower find costs to all proposed ideas so SAC/SDMT can
discuss and make an educated decision at the next meeting.
Also for next month agenda is the discussion regarding
2007 district policy on attendance procedures.
Meeting
was adjourned at 4:55 p.m.
