SAC-SMT Meeting Minutes

Wednesday, February 26, 2003

3:00 p.m. in the Green Eagle Theater

 

 

·        Thanks:   Thanks to Sandi Patrick and Mary Hodge for the excellent refreshments. 

 

 

·        School Improvement Funds Expenditures:

 

·        Star Testing Update:  Donna Catanzarite introduced the request that School Improvement funds be allocated for updating our Star Testing software.  The Star tests are used 2 to 4 times per year by teachers to establish AR reading levels for individual students and to track growth   through the school year.  The cost is $599.00 plus shipping for 200 students plus $75.00 for each additional 50 students.  To cover the costs for the entire school population would be approximately $900.00.    After discussion the motion to approve the expenditure was approved by consensus (motion by Lynn Wagenseil; 2nd by Mary Hodge.)

 

·        Target Test Prep FCAT:  Donna explained that purchase of Target Test Prep FCAT  would provide a database in three areas, math, reading, and writing.  The database includes a bank of 100 questions for each grade level which correlate to Sunshine State Standards and are FCAT style questions for authentic practice for our students.  The cost of the program is $1499.00 plus shipping.  After discussion the motion to approve the expenditure was approved by consensus (motion by Bill Burrell, 2nd by Jane DeClercq.)

 

 

·        PTA Announcement:  Diane Gomoll asked that team representatives get information to their teams about signup for classroom baskets for the Silent Auction.  Sign up will be in the office, and the baskets should be smaller than in the past. 

 

 

·        Student Performance Data Analysis Group Reports:  Groups for Writing, Math, and Reading spent the remainder of the meeting reviewing their data and placing key information on chart paper in preparation for reporting to the group at our March 19th meeting.

 

 

·        Reminder:  The next SAC meeting will be on Wednesday, March 19th at 3:00 p.m. in the Green Eagle Theater.  The meeting is earlier in the month than usual due to the Spring Break Holiday.  Refreshments for the meeting will be provided by Cheryl Roeder and Tonya Wampler.
