Welcome:  Given by Ashley Droscher

Trust Land Training: Given by Mrs. Breeding.  Presented a training video from the Utah School Board of Education.  The Trust Land Program has been successful in giving $92.8 million to students which is about $139.55 per student.  The program is implementing new aspects that include:

                New training materials/newsletters                                        USBE social media partnering

                Video trainings sent out monthly                                              Live or online training

                Program deadlines                                                                          Website postings

                Update Rules of Order and Procedure as needed              

When creating the plan for your school, ensure that the appropriate academic areas of Math, Science and ELA are addressed. The following five steps should be used when creating the plan:

  1. Data
  2. The Goal
  3. Measurement
  4. Action Steps
  5. Expenditures

 

Compliance Checklist: Given by Mrs. Breeding.  Council members should review the School Community Council Compliance Checklist as well as the Rules of Order and Procedure.  If there are questions or concerns, please contact Mrs. Breeding.

     

New Member Election: Given by Mrs. Breeding.  An election was held earlier in October for 4 council positions. All current members were re-elected for another two-year period.  The use of a Google form as a ballot seemed to draw more participation.  However, as both parents can vote, Mrs. Breeding would have to send out the link to a different email address if requested.  This was not a problem for this election.
