    3. Review of Items for SPSA Goal 1

      1. Tutoring update--3 teachers, focus on 5th and 6th grade Reading and Math as well as 2nd and 3rd grade math

        1. S. Rossall introduced the new structure of tutoring. The focus of the tutoring will be to maintain a low teacher-student ratio to increases effectiveness. The idea would be to focus on foundational skills for teacher selected students that could then move out of the program.

        2. B. Tallosi raised the issue of defining small groups and the commonalities between a second and third-grade student. J. Briggs clarified that the reteach model that we are already implementing in PLCs would hopefully reach most of the students, leaving tutoring for those that are not reached by the reteach.

        3. B. Tallosi raised the question on the effectiveness of the tutoring model, which J. Briggs added that it is a community request.

        4. K. Koonce raised the idea of brainstorming in a staff meeting about a new way to restructure the tutoring system to raise its effectiveness. A. Contreras introduced the idea of making it part of the PLC model of reteach and having those interventions during the tutoring time.

        5. B. Tallosi proposed structuring the program to make it standard specific to address individual standards that are lacking. K. Koonce and A. Steinacher added that perhaps limiting it by time would gain more teacher buy-in (e.g. 6 Wednesdays, 2 months).

        6. S. Rossall voiced the concern about reaching groups of kids across all grade levels that are not reading at grade level.

        7. A. Contreras proposed making it a homework lab, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday for any grade level that needs help with assignments.

        8. B. Tallosi proposed making it focused on Reading and then collecting data on the students who attend and those that we wanted to attend to demonstrate effectiveness.

      2. Addition of language to SPSA Goal 1 Item 3 A to include intervention supports and read staff/students; $4000 for tutoring (3 teachers, small intensive support for reading and ELA); addition of 1 hour of intervention aide time to work with students including learning lab for middle school; No additional money allocated

        1. S. Rossall proposed to add the language to include students and intervention supports, rather than just teachers. No additional money would be needed, just changes to the language.

      3. Thinking maps training day--add $6000 to Goal 1 Action 1 Item d

      4. SPSA Goal 1 Action item 3a--purchasing Kindergarten reading intervention materials

      5. SPSA Goal 1 Action item 3--addition of item h “students and teachers will have access to grade level appropriate technology to increase overall academic achievement for all students”;  addition of $2000 for purchasing 10 devices; will allow 1 to 1 in 4th grade; reallocate goal 1 item 3a to be $11,500; add $1000 to this goal for batteries and screen repair on broken devices to allow access for students
