Mount Baker School District Technology Committee
Mount Baker School District
Technology Committee
February 15, 2005, 4:00 pm, District Office
Members Present: Gary Wall, Sher Ross, Doug Sutton, Jon Anderson
We spent the meeting refining and evaluating the tech committee budget. Some thoughts:
 | We need a representative to the tech committee from Harmony – we need to find someone from Harmony to join us – let’s recruit |
| We need to include salary benefits into our budget for building tech support, tech coaches, tech mentor stipends, tech committee stipends and webmaster– approximately 10% |
| Should the webmaster’s salary come from Tech budget – or should it come from the general budget or some other source? Where is the best place for this to come from? |
| We think that our numbers for the Building Tech Support people are incorrect – Bev and Gary will research the correct amounts that they should be paid – for next year, we need to re-evaluate to make sure they are being appropriately compensated for their work |
| We’ve budgeted for the Building Technology Coaches, but we have given them little or no guidance - Gary will ask the Instructional Tech Support people what they’ve been doing this year so far… call a meeting of this group. |
| The Tech Mentor Program seems to have been suspended so far this year – Gary will investigate as to whether anyone is doing anything and if we need to follow up on this program. |
Bottom line: Currently we have about $11,000 to work with that has not yet been committed – and $16,000 budgeted towards staff development. Our priorities should be:
|
to help in the hardware area, and |
|
to plan our staff development – particularly the August Mount Baker Institute |
Next Meeting: Thursday, March 17 – 4:00 pm – District Office - Prime topics – Hardware support and Staff Development
Respectfully Submitted,
Doug Sutton
