Director’s Updates

• Student Investment Account.  The new projection is $150 million, which is approximately ⅓ of the initial allocation.  That would mean our portion would go from $285,649 to about $94,264.
  • My suggestion is to hire one additional Instructional Assistant with these funds.  This fits with the goals we outlined in our original budget.
  • The weighted cost of each IA is approximately $65,000
  • I’d like to talk about how to best use the remaining funds.  I’d love to find something to support Spanish, like online tutorials for kids and parents, and I’d also like to purchase online enrichment options like artists in residence or special interest classes.  I’m not sure what these would cost, but I’m guessing we’ll have options since these types of organizations are also trying to adjust to a new instructional model. These expenses could fall under the enrichment goal we listed in our original budget.
  • Maybe .75 IA and .5 ELA?
  • Use PEF for enrichment

• OCSP Grant. We got approval to shift our remaining funds into curriculum and technology.  We still have about $18-20K left to spend.  We’ll look at using this for iPad cases and home learning supplies like math manipulatives and small whiteboards.
  • If we run out of grant money, school supplies could come out of PEF
• I talked to BSD about the possibility of joining their meal program again, but the funding that allowed us to participate in the spring and summer ends on Aug. 31.  For now, we are planning to offer our own meal services.  It will be a weekly pickup that includes both breakfast and lunch.  Families who are not receiving meal benefits will have the option to pay for this service.  A big challenge right now is how to get these meal to the families who cannot come to school during our scheduled pick up times.
