Members Present: Erika Alexander, Chris Murray, Lillian Green, Ellyn Erickson, Bob Baker, Linda Nieuwendorp

Members Absent: Tom Smith, Shannon Brilhart

New Items:

1.       We were Presented with a class load concern from Kathy Scodeller.  We read her letter explaining the issue.  Then we examined the classroom profile sheets for all classes.  The next step was to use the DICE Problem Solving Matrix, which we have selected as our tool for this process.  We outlined the situation, identified the problem, generated alternatives, critiqued the alternatives and drafted a plan.  We felt that we were unable to solve the issue with the current resources of time and talent available in the building.  We drafted a request to Dr. Rick Gantman to meet with us and help us determine a viable plan.  Our request was emailed to Dr. Gantman. Possibly his view will help us re-examine the ideas that we generated or help us generate new ones.

2.                 The ASC has the responsibility of approving the project proposals made by staff to access Better Schools Funds as well as Administrative Match Funds.  We reviewed 19 proposals.  The proposals ranged from individual projects focusing on specific personal needs to group proposals with broad ranging impact.  We discussed whether to pay participants curriculum pay for time spend outside of school hours at workshops and classes.  The ASC recommended unanimously that we honor those requests.  After calculating the financial impact of the 19 proposals upon the existing funds, there will be $63.84 remaining from $6032.00 of Better Schools money and $8097.83 remaining from $18,235.00 Administrative Match money.
