    We reviewed the minutes from our last meeting. Hilary motioned to approve them. Aimee
    seconded. motion passed.

    Aimee reviewed the 2022-2023 Trustlands Final Report. We met our Acadience goal of 80% of
    students on Benchmark by the end of the year. We did not quite meet our Math Goal which was
    74% typical growth on the iReady mid-year assessment, we made 72% of typical growth.

    We discussed the need for a new reading incentive program as Reading Counts will be upping
    their price significantly next year. The discussion centered around whether we go back to
    Accelerated Reader or do something entirely different from a computer-based program. Aimee
    will also be bringing this up with the faculty for further discussion.

    We reviewed this year’s mid-year progress. The school is at 72% typical growth on iReady and
    74% of students are on Benchmark on Acadience.

    The 2024-2025 Trustlands Plan is due the end of March. Aimee when over a draft. Most things
    will stay the same from last year. She will finalize it and we will approve it in our March
    meeting.

    Aimee reviewed with us the School Safety and Safe Routes plan. Melissa motioned that it be
    approved. Michelle seconded. The motion passed.

    We discussed filling the positions that will be vacated on the committee at the end of the year.
    Aimee clarified that we need to have 4 parents, 2 teachers, the principal, and an administrative
    assistant on the committee. Based on this we may only need 1-2 parents for next year. Members
    are going to think about those who could fill these spots.

    We discussed our on-going plan to replace our playground. District Maintenance has recently
    looked over our playground and feels like it sill has some life in it. Risk Management is coming
    in the spring to look at all district playgrounds. We decided that that report will be helpful in
    helping us come up with a timeline for when to replace the playground.

    Aimee reviewed with us Governor Cox’s request that schools really work on being cell phone
    free. We feel like we have a good policy in place, it’s a matter of making sure it is being
    enforced.

    Michelle motioned to adjourn. Beth seconded. The motion passed.

    Next meeting is March 20.
