Goal 1
Assure learning and academic achievement to show a minimum of 5% increase in the number of students achieving proficiency on end of year testing from Spring 2022 to Spring 2023.
Action Plan (approx. $40,000)
TWO 5-hour per day instructional assistants to be assigned to one specific grade level to assist in all subject areas. Doing so will result in the possibility of one instructional assistant per grade level to help support teacher instruction and student learning.
Action Plan (approx. $31,000)
Pay TWO teachers to teach his/her prep period in order to provide Tier II Intervention support in tested subject areas and/or other assignments to provide students with academic/attendance/mental health support and instruction.
Action Plan (approx. $10,000)
Maintain certified staffing due to FTE cuts.
Goal 2
Provide teachers and students with instructional supplies/technology or online programs necessary to support a positive and productive learning environment.
Action Plan (approx. $10,000)
Take accurate inventory of supplies and other materials already present in the building. Allow teachers to make requests for items that support their instructional plans. Require teachers to provide an explanation of how/why the materials are necessary. Provide teachers with an allowance maximum to help guide their requests.
Task content area teams to determine what technical or online learning platforms they would like to incorporate into their teaching to aid in increasing and maintaining the mastery of skills.
Goal 1 ties directly to the strategies listed as part of the school trustlands plan to increase student proficiency levels and overall performance. It has been decided by the community council that it is wise to invest more of our funding into manpower, providing students with a higher level of support for success.
Goal 2 is specific to a new purchase responsibility being passed from the district level to the school level along with regular inquiry of finding ways to use technology to aid in student learning.
Total Budget $138,724
Proposed Expenditures $ 91,000
Roll-Over for 24-25 school year $ 47,724
Roll-over amount is intentionally being left high to help maintain instructional assistant positions over several upcoming years. Unexpected needs (new programs, technology, etc) may also be paid from this budget.
