5. Financial Report
Discussion

The budget was discussed.  There are no big items that need to be purchased at this time.  We will seek clarification as to what will happen with our budget when the school merge occurs.



6. Policy Review
Discussion

The council reviewed the instructional practices policy and decided not to make any changes.  The council discussed the use of KAGAN and the focus of more engagement and formative assessments.  The council feels this policy should be reviewed by the council at the new school, so it can be geared toward primary students only.

7. CSIP (30/60/90 Day) Review
Discussion

The council discussed the needs assessment.  Again this year, reading and math are both areas of concern.  Mr. Fugate pointed out that our males are currently outscoring our females in most areas, which is a turn around from only a few years ago.  The council agrees this is something to look into and see if it may be something instructional that males understand better than females.


The next step will be to complete the goals for the new CSIP
