1. Approval of Minutes: Last month’s meeting minutes were reviewed and approved.
2. SIP Reviews/Updates: EESAC will have to meet again prior to the next scheduled meeting in order to review the SIP before it is uploaded on February 3, 2012. At this meeting the committee will discuss the materials that will be sent to the State of Florida. The next EESAC meeting will take place on February 2, 2012 at 2:30 p.m. Please plan accordingly. Ms. Barroso will change the EESAC meeting on the master calendar.
3. RtI/Leadership Team Reviews/Updates: A special thanks to Ms. Ferguson, Assistant Principal and Ms. Quintero, Reading Coach. They both worked tirelessly to prepare our school for FCAT Crunch Time.
Action Item: Kindergarten is having a hard time finding materials to prepare their students for testing. If you or anyone you know has materials that are appropriate, please see Ms. Quintero.
4. School Operations: Ms. Klein is concerned with the order for the hedge trimmer and vacuum. She will follow up to see the status of the order.
5. Budget: At the last EESAC meeting, it was said that Ms. Sanchez would be hired on an hourly basis. However, Ms. Sanchez was placed full time at Miami Springs Middle School. There are now monies available that were set aside for this hourly position. Ms. Klein proposes that we can utilize the money to hire a retired assistant principal to work with the children or use the money to buy much needed supplies for the upcoming school year. The item was brought to a vote. The committee voted unanimously to use the monies to procure supplies for the 2012-2013 school year.
FPL: Ms. Klein will be receiving a rebate from FPL. The custodial staff, under the direction of Mr. Roan, has taken great care in ensuring that we are shutting off A/C systems and computers, etc. These cost savings have resulted in a rebate of approximately, $4,900. Ms. Klein has plans to bring the Kindergarten staff into the main building next year. In order to do this, she will have to purchase Smart Boards, electrical work, and installation, etc. This will cost approximately $6,000. The rebate can be used to offset the majority of this expenditure.
Preliminary Budget Conference: Ms. Klein will attend a Preliminary budget conference during the month of April. This conference will offer her insight as to the proposed budget for the 2012-2013 school year.
6. Title I: The store room is being cleaned up. Property control is being updated. Teachers are not to throw out any materials that may have been purchased with Title I funds. Before you throw out any materials, please see Ms. Klein.
7. New Business: no new business items.
8. Following a call for "Questions, Comments, and Concerns," the meeting was adjourned at 3:15 p.m.
