- Brookie’s Market Update: Megan Olson
- $17,115 Total: Highest total raised in a while
- SCC Financial Update: Corrie Barrett
- Landtrust: We started the year with enough funds to hire reading instructors. They didn’t work as many hours as anticipated, so we have an excess of money remaining.
- TSSP: There is a similar situation with Math Interventionists and Social Worker Salary.
- The excess funds will be spent on:
- We plan to spend some of the money on shero’s and Math Manipu;ative for the new budget
- Spend some of the money to hire sub’s for a planning day so that teaching teams have a working day
- Spend some of the money to buy books for classrooms.

- 26-27 TSSA/Land Trust Budget Allocation and Final Plan Approval
- Our Actual Budget is less than projected
- TSSA: The district is providing a one year Grace for schools with lower enrollment.
- They will pay 75% of Social Worker Salary instead of 50% so we have more funds
- Proposal: Those funds will be ussed to hire an additional MTSS aide (18 hours) to assist the PBI Support. That way Johnny can be more present in classrooms and the aide can help more with student breaks and check and connects
- These positions can be hard to fill. If we can’t find someone we will need to amend the budget

- Teachers liked it. Low prep and easy to do and led to good discussions
- Bookworm Bear Month: How did it go?
- Teachers: Kindergarteners love it
- Last year we counted book tracker on Monday instead of Friday and that was easier to count
- They switched to fridays because kids were forgetting to bring trackers over the weekend
- Teachers can have flexibility in when they record trackers

- New Superintendent for Canyons: Dr. Mckay Robinson
- He was an elementary teacher and principal, which is exciting for us.
- He was the assistant Superintendent previously
- We need 10 more students K-3 to ensure two kindergarten classes
- Our job is to keep students safe and the parking lot is not working well
- A lot of safety patrol kids can’t find a sub and don’t show up for their job. What can we do to solve that problem?
- Corrie Barrett: Staff can help if they know to go out.
- Jessica Pohlman: Safety Patrol needs their own group chat
- There are some positions that feel not needed (bike Rack). Can we make sure all the positions feel needed?
- A lot of safety patrol kids can’t find a sub and don’t show up for their job. What can we do to solve that problem?
- Corrie Barrett: We are eliminating the Kindergarten Crosswalk because it encourages parents to stop at those doors. That will eliminate one position.
- There will be additional signage indicating where loading/unloading is allowed.
- Ann Odom: Could there be a sub pool of kids to fill in?
- Cathy Carr: yes, they’re considering that for next year. They need to figure out communication.
- Liz Palmer: Is there apoint person to notice there aren’t enough people covering?
- Tracy Duncan is in charge, but it is taking a lot of time and communication isn’t working the right way
- Jessica Pohlman: Could we set up a Parent Square team to communicate?
- Yes, that sounds good.
- Sandy Hokanson:kids need to call someone to sub for them. If they can’t find someone then they need to call the office and tell someone.
- Katie Dunn: Is there a consequence for not showing up?
- Cathy Carr: Then we don’t have anyone to run safety patrol.
- Hadley Waters: Could you have a squad parent that’s the point person to make sure all positions are covered? They could report to Tracy.
- Ashley Theodore: Is it the students or parents who aren’t taking things seriously?
- Both
- Declining enrollment/faculty is making it really hard to cover bus duty, safety patrol, many positions
- Motion to cancel April meeting unless something pops up: Megan Olson
- Second:Jessica Pohlman
- Motion carries unanimously
- Adjourn: Megan Olson
