Welcome/Introductions/Attendance
Good afternoon to all. Official sign-in sheet is kept on file.- Ms. Quintero

Review/Approve minutes from prior meeting
Please take a moment to review last month's minutes. - Ms. Quintero

School Improvement Process (SIP) Approval
Approve Phase 1 and 11: We are currently working on Academic Programs by continuing collaborative data chats, hosting interventions/RtI, and providing data-driven instruction. We are fortifying our school culture as well by promoting our shared vision/mission, providing team building activities, and instilling goal oriented learning into our lessons.- Mr. Lazo

School Reopening Plan
A very elaborate plan is being written and put together in order to accept students back into the schoolhouse upon the superintendents say-so. The plan goes over numerous procedures that will be put in place such as social distancing, small groups, sanitization, hand-washing stations, water bottle filling stations, and much more. The purpose of this plan is to promote safety guidelines and procedures for a safe return to the school site to students, faculty, and staff. The plan is pending approval.- Mr. Lazo

Will teachers be provided shields? I understand that schools have been given PPE monies.- Ms. Welch
Teachers will receive PPE allowances; materials have already been ordered. - Mr. Lazo

Updates
iReady: We have 82% completion for reading. Math testing begins on Monday, September 21st and make-up sessions will take place on Oct. 2nd.- Ms. Quintero
Professional Development:
Training sessions for Microsoft Teams, and Performance Matters have already been taking place.- Ms. Quintero

Conduct Elections
We voted on new members: Ms.JMoore as Teacher position, and Ms. Humbert as Alternate Education Support (AES). Calls were made to students to hold their positions, and they accepted to keep them. Ms Rosario held a meeting with parents and the same people agreed to hold their positions.- Ms. Quintero

Update bylaws and Roster
The roster has been updated to reflect new members. Bylaws remained the same as we continue to follow the same terms.
Those in favor to maintain the bylaws the same.- Ms. Quintero
Quorum reached. All in favor.

RtI/Leadership Reviews/Updates
We are continuing to follow the process and teachers are asked to document virtual observations. SST will begin October 5th.- Dr. Galceran

Open Forum/Discussions
School Operations: Instructional resources have gone back to using McGraw Hill for reading and GoMath! for math.- Ms. Quintero
Curriculum Issues: N/A

Budget Reviews/Updates
Money is tight right now, we were fighting to keep positions. Luckily, we did not lose any positions; updating ESE rosters and testing ELL students in a timely manner really helped.
We lost two part-time custodians, but hired one full-time custodian. We currently have three full-time and one part-time custodian. FTE week begins October 5th and final budget meetings are held the first week of October.- Mr. Lazo

Title 1
We just had a meeting recently and noticed that because of the pandemic, numbers are trending low. We have always had high numbers of parents, so we will continue to provide parent services with what we have via zoom. - Ms. Rosario

New Business
Will all teachers be coming back even if some students will remain in virtual learning?- Ms. Grisales
Depends on parent surveys. So far, it is 50/50 at Broadmoor.- Mr. Lazo
Does the Corona Care Act exempt some teachers from coming back into the building?- Ms. Welch
I believe that might fall under FMLA, but I will have to double check that and get back to you. -Mr. Lazo

Comments/Concerns
None

Adjournment
All in favor to adjourn this meeting?- Ms. Quintero
I second that motion.- Ms. Nazario
Meeting adjourned- Ms. Quintero
