3. Budgets – Dr. Eschler
● DH asked about the computer budget errors
4. Data Review – Dr. Eschler
● We know our school grade but are not allowed to share until later
○ At the next meeting we should be able to share and review this data
● We did not get the responses desired for our data
5. Land Trust Plan – Dr. Eschler
● Land Trust = $266,012.53
○ Most going to additional teachers
○ $8,273.00 misallocated should be credited back to this budget eventually which puts the total at $274,285.53
6. TSSP (Teacher Student Success Plan) – Dr. Eschler
● TSSA budget = $309,048.63
○ Around $6,000 error in our favor should correct us to just over $315,000 eventually
7. Digital Citizenship – Michelle Hakkarinen
● State has asked that each district, at least once, our classrooms cover Digital Citizenship
● District has decided to designate the week before Fall Break (3 Days)
○ This is not great because APP will be important for students to finalize their Q1 grades – The quarter ends on Oct 19
● Instead, Dr. Eschler has approved that we do one lesson a month throughout the school year for each of the 8 lessons – once per month.
● MH described the plan:
○ Filtering – State and the district
○ Student Education
■ Starting later in October – JHS will roll out 1 lesson per month
● Will also be sent out through Parent Square
● 15 minute monthly lessons
○ MH asked SCC to consider the order of lessons
○ We had a discussion about the Content Keeper process
○ KM: Should we move “Hoaxes & Fakes” to later in the year and switch with “When is your Brain Ready for Social Media”
■ MH agrees that Dec. & Jan. should be flipped.
■ DH asked, “What if a student is absent?”
● LInks will be sent out and students are held accountable with the APP grades and the points.
○ AB: “Who’s Looking at Your Digital Footprint?” is important in regards to college applications and job applications. Should we align with UCAW?
■ No change, but seniors should be reminded about this, however.
○ JC: The handout is very “cute”.
