    Reviewed minutes from last month.  Hilary made a motion to approve minutes, Michelle seconded, all approved.
     
    Mrs. McNeil reviewed budgets.  We are on course and the total remaining funds were discussed in how they would be spent for the rest of the year.  
     
    We went over TTSA funding and how it is received in June and the Plan will come later.  The funding is received per student.  The Teacher and Student Success Act comes from the State to the Principle.  It is used for Counseling at the school and for Aides.  The work with BRMHD  (Bear River Mental Health Department) is under a different grant.  We have two counselors at our school that are each part time, and there is no social worker at Summit.  
     
    An outline for Trustlands was presented to faculty, with a final proposal review.  Language Arts was changed to a K-5 plan, with a goal of 80% reading proficiency, steps were discussed that are in the plan.  Reading program for next year still needs to be decided that can work with the budget that is in the plan.  AR reading incentive program discussed as being used for next school year, with making adjustments to budget as necessary to make the program work for our school if possible.  
    Engagement strategies for teachers budgets reviewed.  Math goals discussed and decided to be set at 75% or higher from last years 72%, based from students iready scores.
     
    We talked about PLC's and how the grade teams use the information in PLC's together at their grade/team meetings.  Also it was commented that they want to do one day for Math in the summer for PD days.
    Other budget items discussed briefly were iready licenses, aides, PLC at work institute.  We also went over doing a half day grade level PLC's three times a year with money set aside for substitutes for the teachers participating.
     
    PBIS plan: 
    -Helping kids with check-in program.
    - 4 week program.  
    -6th grade is not really responsive, other grades kids are loving it.
    -form needs tweaking per grade level.
     
    For March Math Madness there will be a celebration instead of assembly for the classes at each individual grade level.  The hope is to have it be inclusive and celebrate learning math for everyone.
     
    Next meeting is Wednesday April 17th, 2024.
    All items on the agenda were discussed, so Michelle closed the meeting.
