  1. Approval of April 30 minutes was postponed until the end of the meeting.

  2. 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.
