School Advisory Council

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:
