March 2019 Community Council Minutes

Community Council Mtg.

March 5, 2019

Attending:  Dave Gerstheimer, Heather Cragun, Kadee Frew, Stacy Adams, Ashley Droscher, Cindy Pendleton, Michelle Bliss

Dave shared that 1 teacher from each grade has been trained in the Launch Program.  Kits and supplies are being ordered to implement the Kindergarten module school-wide.  No funds were necessary so far from TrustLand money for this year. Funding for teacher training and 1 module supplies were funded from other sources.  Extra money from this year’s TrustLand budget will be rolled over to next year. Money has been earmarked for next year’s budget to go toward PLTW along with a grant from the Foundation to have the whole school be trained and begin implementing Launch in the Fall.

Michelle reported on our school goals.  TrustLand Money for 2019-2020 will help accomplish 3 goals:

  • See 60% typical or better student growth on DIBELS in grades K-3.
  • Students in grades 4-6 will show an overall 4% growth in proficiency of grade level language arts and math essential learning targets.
  • Implement PLTW Launch program in grades K-6 to promote problem-solving and critical thinking skills.   

These goals will include partial funding for some intervention help for grades 4-6 and training teachers in PLTW.  

Ashley made a motion to approve the Trust Lands plan for 2019-2020.  

Cindy seconded the motion.

All voted in favor of the plan for next year as written in the Trust Land Plan.
