3. Recommendations for the 2010-2011 School Improvement Plan: Ms. Klein officially announced that Broadmoor has been awarded a $100,000 grant for technology to be implemented in the 2010-2011 school year. Interactive White Boards, projectors, and software will be installed in every second-fifth grade class this summer. Leapsters and Brianchild Study Buddies will also be purchased along with new software for Pre-K, K, and first grade students. The grant will offer new technology for the entire school, including training for all teachers. This grant and its objectives will become part of our 2010-2011 SIP.
4. Review of EESAC By-laws, Minutes, and Rosters: The EESAC Chair reviewed our by-laws and provided copies for all members. Recommendations for changes in the by-laws will be discussed and voted on at our May meeting. Rosters and Minutes have been updated to reflect changes in students, parents, staff, and demographics.
5. Composition Waiver: It was moved and voted that EESAC will request the same roster composition waiver in order to remain in compliance with the State of Florida for 2010-2011.
6. Election of 2010-2011 Members: All Members were nominated and unanimously voted to remain 2010-2011 EESAC Members, with the exception of 5th grade students and parents who will no longer be at Broadmoor Elementary School next year.

End-of-Year Conferences have been scheduled and will be completed by May 19th.
9. Curriculum Issues: We are in the process of completing FAIR testing. The results will be shared and discussed at grade level meetings as soon as the data is available.
