11/07/07 SAC/SDMT Minutes Reviewed and Approved- Shari McDuffie moved to approve the minutes and Elyse Nutter seconded. Motion carried.
Two people have resigned from SAC/SDMT and need to be replaced (Dan Barnes and Renee DeGuia). They are from the “other citizens” category. If anyone knows of someone interested, please let Ms. Bower know.
School Recognition Dollars: Teri Sayre reported that PTO will contribute $7,000 from Jog-A-Thon toward payment of the fitness course if SAC/SDMT contributes $3,400. At least $500 is also earmarked from business partnerships. The actual cost will be just under $20,000 due to the district’s installation charges.
Beginning funds: $15,899.90
Dollars Spent: Purchase:
$7,272 8 computers
$446.96 licenses/$50 each
$4,000 8 teams
$4,180.94 unencumbered
There was discussion regarding aborting the plan to fund the fitness trail. Teri Sayre made a motion to use left over School Recognition dollars. Jackie Mendolia seconded the motion. Motion carried to use remaining School Recognition dollars ($4,180.94) for the fitness course. Ms. Bower suggested using internal funds to supplement the rest of the $20,000 needed to fund the course. Vote was unanimous – motion passed.
Teacher Requests: Ms. Bower presented: Legislation is in effect next year for class size amendment. A discussion followed. Ms. Bower passed out a rough draft of the Academic Placement Form.
Parent Information Day: It was asked if Parent Information Day would be held this year. Ideas that were discussed: spring open house, brochure only, or teacher presentations. Due to the lateness of the hour, Ms. Bower suggested the topic be addressed at the next meeting.
Meeting was adjourned at 4:55 p.m.
