3. Budgets Dr. Eschler

TSSA and Land Trust Budgets
Large, Money to Spend
Lots of unfilled positions
Extra money carryover from last year
What should we spend it on?
Dr. Eschler Proposals: (all in contingency plan)
Item 1: Educational Technology ($100,000 or more)
    $100,000 or more
    Apple TV in each classroom
    iPads for each teacher
    Aimee asked about apps/software needs
    Bruce said let’s build into next year’s budget/plan
    Department Wish Lists
            For example, CTE would request cameras for food class, etc.
    New calculators for upper math programs
    Based on department (teacher) requests
    Feedback:
    Sounds Great
    Angela emphasized technology can help staffing shortages

Item 2: AVID Conference ($30-40k)
    Send more than the allotted amount by district, up to 20 paid with Land Trust money, district will pay for 5.

Item 3: Vape Sensors ($20-30k, installed)
    JH: I think it is a lot of money to spend…
    TB: How big of a problem is vaping at Jordan High?
    PD: in support
    Possible wait and see if district rolls this out district-wide
    JH: What are the current consequences?
    AR: how sustainable is this deterrent? Kids will just vape somewhere else. What are other options for this money?
    It would be used for more items on the technology wish list
    Maybe another Hall Monitor? (4th one)
    Many members said Hall monitors investment is better than vape sensors.
    Dr. Eschler motions to prioritize: (in order)
    4th Hall Monitor
    Purchasing Educational Tech
    Sending Additional teachers to travel to AVID conference
    Seconded by Heather Isbell
    All in Favor, None opposed
    Motion passes
    Can be revisited if money is more or less than thought
    Idea, pay teachers on their consultation to monitor hallways ???
