The Budget

The budget for next year is complete. (See attached) Stipends will be addressed at the next meeting. Teachers wishing to apply for a stipend next  year will need to contact M Calabrese before next meeting. Cynthia McGrail will inform teachers of stipend positions and list job descriptions through BBS. She will also invite teachers who had a position this year to present information about the amount of work required for each supplemental job to SAC before next meeting. M Calabrese will make sure SAC member receive copies of all reports and any teachers requesting stipends for next year before our May meeting so SAC members can come informed to make proper decisions.

There will be a 4-part ballot that addresses; points or no points, percentages, Scholastic book fair money and a 3-year decision. See sample ballot attached. Ballot will be explained at our next staff meeting, before voting. Result s will be shared at next SAC (May 4) for further discussion and final decision will be reached by consensus.

 

 

Item IV

Tina Borres has ordered math textbooks. We can address supplementing the math program with Saxon math at a future date. Saxon requires a commitment at all grade levels because this is a program that services low level math students from kindergarten to fifth grade. It is a repetitive system that loops skills in order to aid in students retaining them.
