• Funding will come by next July to do the construction (July/August) for the sidewalk,curb, gutter
• Thank you to the city for honoring our request to get that sidewalk in.
• The group can make any other formal recommendations to the city.
• Question- Traffic study done in front of the school.  Residents requested the study based on speeds on the road.  Canyon Rd. speeding on the north end.  The city will be making a signal there. Safety, speed. Volume are the factors looked at.

 Land Trust Plan Review

• Set goals and submit plans before the school has end of year data, so there is some guess work done.
• The goal was to increase by 5% on ELA and Math RISE.
• We made an adjustment to a 3% increase on ELA after working with faculty and reviewing results.
• Action plan steps Review
• Acadience
• Tier 1 Instruction
• All students deserve instruction from their teacher with pull-out where needed.
• Professional Development
• Expenditures- $82K estimated
• Ballot- from 4% to 5% allocated budget for education spending.  Based on student enrollment.  Hard to know how much right now?  If this passes, it would go into effect next school year.

Internet Safety Update

• K-1 had 3 internet safety lessons
• 3-6 had 6 internist safety lessons
• Feedback from teachers/admin- Some missed the energy of the assembly, some really liked the more personal aspect of being able to have discussions. Well received.  Good value to the lessons.  We still got the value of the lessons in the class environment.  Redundancy of the topic is ok in both the classes and assembly.  Nice to hear the kids who wouldn’t speak in a large group to have questions and focus the discussions in the smaller groups.  Classroom interaction was high interest.
• Refund check was received today.
• State law- internet safety exposure at the beginning of the year.
• Negotiate the price if we don’t have the assembly.
• Next year’s plan-  Move forward with the lessons. Motioned and passed unanimously.
