Topics Covered:

1.Approval of Minutes: The minutes of the March 2009 meeting were approved as read.
2.School Operations: The library makeover grant was won by Broodmoor and the approval from the school board was given, therefore it is now official. The library will have new books, computers, fresh paint, and furniture and will be updated to the 21st Century. The majority of the makeover will take place during the summer, which works out well as Broadmoor will be closed this summer. There will not be a disruption for the students. The library is scheduled to reopen on September the 18th 2009. We have applied for a 21st Century Grant coupled with Easter Seals. If we are awarded the grant the school will have the necessary funding to provide after and /or before school tutoring and offer enrichment activities to the students.
3.School Improvement Plan Review: The recommendations that were made by the teachers for the end of the year SIP template were discussed and ideas on how to improve the process were presented. Concerns about the students being out of school for 11 weeks during the summer were discussed, but in light of the current financial constraints summer school is not available to all students. A select group of students will take summer school courses at Arcola Lake this year. A major concern is the skills that are lost if the students don’t practice and are not exposed to the skills, they will lose much of what has been taught the previous year.
4.Curriculum Issues: There were no Curriculum Issues discussed.
5.Budget: All of the FCAT enhancement money that was provided has been taken back by the district; therefore all FCAT enhancement activities for this year have been terminated effective immediately.
6.New Business: The 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade students should be grouped for the upcoming Universal Field Trip as well as beginning to give thought to articulation for the upcoming 2009-2010 school year.
7. Meeting adjourned at 4:40 pm
