    Dee gave a potential copy of the Greenville Parent and Family Engagement Plan…attached below. Budget for Title One is $115,000 for additional paraprofessional helpers in reading, math, and behavior prevention.

    • We also touched on needing to do a literacy night with the family…possibly in conjunction with GRAB reading week.

    • TSSA Expenditure Review
      Most of the budget from TSSA will go towards math paraprofessional helpers and iReady math program (approx $102,000), also tech upgrades with projectors being replaced in some rooms.

    • Trust Land Plan Review
      Approx. $76,000 mainly for paraprofessionals for reading help and some for technology like chromebooks and a chromebook cart 

    Dee also told the SCC about Nate Henry being hired as the school Refocus Director where he will create and implement our school behavior plan. He will train staff on the plan and be the main point of contact for behavior refocus for all students. We also covered the new PBIS posters for positive behavior and continuing the positive behavior reward assemblies…. [The] first one will be in October. This will introduce the skills we will focus on for the year.  

    Safety Business

    • Pickup/Drop-Off: Some parents may need a refresher on the proper procedures for these times of the day, i.e. pulling forward in the circle drive to prevent backup into 400 East. Can we get an additional adult to help bring the parked parents forward to keep the flow going? Car parking in front of the west lot on 400 east causing traffic issues. 

    • Sidewalks in the no sidewalk areas of our safe walking routes are potentially going to start when funds are released from new construction areas like up east on 2500 North across from city offices. Also, the access and gates between that construction area that goes between 2500 N and 2200 N that many people use as a walk through….and the area around the roundabout at 2200 N and 400 E
