Topics Covered

1. Approval of Minutes: The EESAC minutes were approved.
2. School Improvement Plan (SIP) 2010-2011:
• The SIP has been posted as of February 24, 2011. At the next EESAC meeting, the End of Year documents will be shared with the K-3 EESAC representative (Ms. Wooten) and with the Intermediate EESAC representative (Ms. Prieto) in order to get feedback as to the kinds of strategies we want to implement for next year. Any volunteers wanting to work on the 2011-2012 School Improvement Plan can work on it during the summer. Unfortunately, you will not be compensated.
3. School Operations:
• Closed circuit cameras are being installed throughout the school.
• Attendance Boundary Committee (ABC): Ms. Klein recently attended an ABC meeting. Broadmoor Elementary School is being targeted to have Controlled Choice removed. In other words, the school zones will be clearly defined and broadened to include areas near Dr. Henry W. Mack/West Little River Elementary School. There will be an informational meeting on March 24, 2011 at 7:00 p.m. for parents who want to find out more about the proposed boundary changes. Notifications are being posted and sent home.
4. Curriculum Issues:
• C.O.R.E. Initiative (Action Research) – Ms. Cindy Caldwell, District Supervisor asked to speak at the EESAC meeting, but was unable to attend.
• Reading and Math Spring packets are being developed and will be distributed. They will be created and scored in Edusoft. A letter to parents will also be attached to the packets.
• Primary Testing Results – Ms. Klein will meet with 1st and 2nd grade when we return from Spring Break. During testing, it was observed that students were finishing their stories too quickly. This produced negative testing results.
• Ms. Klein wanted to thank Ms. Ferguson for all of her efforts in the coordination and dissemination of the testing materials.
• Ms. Klein and Ms. Ferguson would like to thank the entire staff for making this latest testing effort seamless. There will be some changes to special areas for FCAT testing (to be announced).


5. Budget:
• There is approximately $1959 listed as two separate line items in the system. Ms. Klein and Ms. Barroso are investigating if the amount in the system is accurate and available. If the online amount is incorrect and we have only $1959 available, we can order Grab & Go kits for K-3. (Fourth and fifth grades voted that K-3 should have kits.) Ms. Welch will ask each grade in K-3 if they want the kits for use in their math instruction and report survey results to Ms. Klein today.
• As a reminder, time sensitive materials and deliverables, such as but not limited to this, need to be handled expeditiously and in a professional manner. Delays can literally cost the school money, such as in this scenario.
6. Title I:
• Title I auditors will be on-site. All monies have been spent.
7. New Business: Mrs. Klein presented the Alternative Supplement Waiver to the EESAC for a vote. She would like to continue paying Grade Level Chairs a supplement. This would require a waiver because the amount allocated to the school is based on only three supplements. In years past, we have taken the amount and divided equally among the seven (7) grade level chairs, therefore providing a small stipend for those staff members that take on the extra duties of grade level chairperson. EESAC voted unanimously to request the waiver.
8. Following a call for "Questions, Comments, and Concerns," the meeting was adjourned at 3:20 p.m.
