- Approval of April 30 minutes was postponed until
the end of the meeting.
- Librarian Sharon Hallberg gave a report on what
SIP money has done for the library. Highlights include: the addition of
292 books to the ELL section, bringing the total items owned by the
library to 31,482. The state standard says there should be 20 items for
every student; we are currently at 14/student. The SIP funds can go
toward items not allowed by the state library grant (the state library
protection fund). Where we used to receive $28/student, it has now
dropped to $1.98/student, and the proposed budget would reduce the
funding to .48/student. Hallberg sent around the packet listing all the
new acquisitions.
