1. Approval and review of minutes. The minutes of the April 28, 2005, meeting were approved.
2. Informational: District Budget Wish List. After last month’s discussion, Sarah forwarded a list to the district office on their form. It included restoring classified positions (ASB Bookkeeper, Library Clerk, clerical support in counseling, attendance office), fully funding the bilingual aide, and fully funding three assistant principals.
3. 2005-06 Allocation Process, continued. Comments from the 5/26 meeting are italicized. Summary of available funds and allocation process: we have approximately $80,000 minus Sarah’s coordinator salary and including $30,000 carryover. The requests total almost $129,000. We cannot supplant funding nor can we fund consumables nor field trips. We keep a contingency fund as well as a small fund to repair equipment we have purchased (LCD bulbs, for example).
