Joint
Budget Meeting with the Shared Decision Making Team
April
25, 2007
Meeting called to order at
3:30 p.m.
Attendees:
Representing SAC at the joint SAC/SDMT meeting were Keith
Thompson (chair and teacher representative), Julie Lopez (parent
representative), and Britt Galipault (secretary and parent
representative). The meeting was chaired
by Michelle Henderson (principal) and John Weida (assistant principal).
Prior to this meeting, the SDMT agreed that the school
should budget for five specials classes on the wheel (art, music, science, and
2 PE classes). Having agreed upon this,
the funds remaining from Brentwood’s flexible personnel allocation total
$264,440.00. Four different models which
attempted to incorporate the top priorities of each team were presented for
review by the SAC and SDMT:

looking for and the group agreed on a new model.

The group agreed to adopt this budget model for the 2007 –
2008 school year and the meeting was adjourned at 4:30 p.m.
Subsequent to this meeting, a proposal was made to use the
funds remaining to hire a 0.6 reading teacher instead of a reading aide. Mrs. Henderson asked for approval via email
and the proposal was adopted without objection.
