Budget breakdown is aligned with our school goals.
●   TSSA
        ○  Being used for 4 teachers
        ○  May have a little extra money that we will follow and by November will                       have a better idea
●    Land Trust
        ○   Some things this is being used for: teachers, reading students,                                    paraprofessionals, interventionist, and 2 FT social workers
●    Cell Tower Updates
        ○   Being used for extra coaches especially with the limited ticket money                        from games
        ○   Used for subs if teachers go through professional development
        ○   Also used for a PT library aide
        ○   About $58,000 currently

 

4)  School Start-Up                                                                                          Wendy Dau
●    Online, Hybrid, In-Person
●    FTE: converted some in-person classes to online classes to meet the needs             of students
●    Device Access
By the end of the week, all 10th, 11th, and 12th graders will have Chromebooks Freshmen in classes with multiple grades will be given Chromebooks first Chromebooks have been ordered; delay in delivery
If a student wants to bring their own device they can; with a school device, it can be monitored. Canvas works better with Chromebooks
●    Safety Protocols: Questions & Concerns
        ○   Every kid has been wearing their masks with excellent compliance.                            Teachers and Admin have been very impressed.
        ○   Students have been excellent about cleaning up their spaces as well.
        ○   Lunch may be a worry. Have designated how many per table. Students                      may need a bit of a break from wearing their masks.
        ○   One lunch: Two lunches limits the space available. One lunch allows us to                use multiple areas: both gyms, the commons, the tech atrium, as well as                  outside. Have ordered bistro tables placed throughout the school. If there                are concerns we could assign locations? Cold weather may necessitate                    reevaluation. Kids seem to feel that things are going well. Many students                  are going to their cars for a break
        ○   Encourage students to stay with same friend group to minimize exposure
        ○   Reminders to continue to follow protocols as time goes on
        ○   Heartbeet lessons on Tuesday are to give students information
        ○   Three cases to date. One student is an online student. 26 students have                    been quarantined. Updates will be given to parents.
        ○   If a student is quarantined they need to stay out for the fourteen days                        regardless of a negative test. Additional family members will not need to                  quarantine unless the student exhibits symptoms.
        ○   Calls about quarantine will come from a school administrator
        ○   If a student exhibits symptoms and has been tested, the student should                    stay home until he/she receives results.
        ○   Insure that parents understand how to log on to canvas
        ○   15 positive cases in a two week period would cause the school to be shut                down for two weeks
