    Recommendations for TSSA Plan

    • Math
      • April Martin: Talking about iReady
      • Hard to set goals for MOY
      • Focus on total growth of iReay measure (50% or more)
      • Birch Creek teachers like the idea of a growth goal - on their way to meeting an expected goal Trudy will meet with teachers and come up with a percentage, then next meeting we will vote on it and decide which plan to put it in.
    • Reading
      • The past few years, we have been focused on Acadience Reading
      • Grade Level teachers met and wondered if we could do HMH goals
      • What group do you want to see the most change in?
      • Measurement goal with "below-level"
      • Acadience goal for K, 1, 2???
      • Focus on 3-6??
      • Kathy - goals should be what is going to work best for our students.
      • Holly Harris & Trudy thought: Below level percent from BOY to MOY would decrease by 20%
    • Technology
      • 2 or 3 Chromebook labs expiring soon
      • We have about 15.5 labs
      • One cart is about $13,000
      • $80,000 from TrustLands technology & Para Pros
    • TSSA: helps pay counselor salary
    • The district pays for any growth a year later...

    Areas of Concern with Child Access Routing Plan

    • How do kids get to school?
    • Do we need to add different safety features on the west side?
    • Sidewalk by fire station?
    • Solicit through UDOT
      • With growth... It's necessary now.
