    The meeting was called to order at 7:00 am.

     

    We approved the minutes from our January meeting - Matt Fuller moved to accept the minutes as written; Monica Edelmayer seconded the motion.  The voting was  unanimous  to accept the minutes.

     

    John updated us on the Trustlands budget.  Teacher payroll has a sizable amount left but  most of the remainder is earmarked for summer work.  We added an AmeriCorp intern.  Looking at other budget categories - we also have money left that was originally for textbook allocation.  In speaking to faculty and staff, we have requests for funding in the following areas:

    • Professional Development - including help to add FTE and stipends for curriculum and department leaders

    • SPED/ESL prep and testing

    • ESL aides

    • SAT team

    • Wolfpack Academy

    • Tech needs

    Most of the budget allocations are on schedule.  John will keep us updated.

     

    Our onsite accreditation visit was last week and went well.  We had a good response and expect to get the report in May and June.

     

    As far as our TSI plan, we are continuing to work on providing best practices and updated information regarding Elevation, which is a tool with strategies to help ESL strategies.  Our main focus is to maintain the best teaching strategies.

     

    We will vote on our 2023/2024 Trustlands plan at our March meeting.  We will send it out prior to the meeting for members to review.  If you are unable to attend, please review the plan and send your proxy vote by email.

     

    We will also be planning our 2023/2024 election for our council.   Anyone who is planning to leave after this year, please let us know in March.  Once we know the openings that we have (including those members who have served more than one two year term) we will solicit nominations and have an election if needed.  

     

    The meeting was adjourned at 7:35 am.

     

    Our next meeting will be on Monday, March 7th at 7:00 am.
