9. Our Prioritized Title-1 Plan was submitted on Friday and was reviewed over the weekend. The plan is based on our SIP which was approved back in January. Yesterday afternoon, I was informed that our plan passed scrutiny and all that is needed is for us to make a couple of changes to reflect some things like are not normally a part of the plan. One example is that Equity+ bonuses are to be paid out of our Title-1 allotment this year. That was not part of our SIP and we have to revise it to include that.

I had a few thoughts that I think may be beneficial to alleviate some tension that is going on in the school right now. If it is possible could PTA income and spending budgets be reposted for the 08-09 school year including the intake from Night Beneath the Stars; 08-09 Student council income and spending budgets be posted; and the rules and regs of student council (how they get in, what do they do, expectations and outcomes, how they gain ‘points’, and how they earn rewards). These are both no-profit organizations so all monetary information such be public knowledge. This education or re-education to many may help.
