AIMS Elementary and Middle School Combined Safety Plan

Presenter HoS Ms. Golden:

Thanked Ms. Stephens for her commentary.  The new safety plan has the budget for additional staff (clerks, clerk II's, admin assistants) to supervise students and update security systems. 

Summer boot camp training will include active shooter training; the plans and drills, along with already in place fire alarm drills for the students will be implemented in the fall.

 

Ms. DeFond: the middle school has a similar plan to the elementary's plan.

 

Superintendent stated that the active shooter plan is referred to as a Lockdown Drill in the Student Handbook (8.1)

 

Dir. Lang suggested that the plan be reviewed by a safety expert.

 

HoS Ms. Akram - The Middle School goal is to retrieve the results from the Alameda County Safety Program that was performed before the shutdown and to create a plan to implement their suggestions, as needed.  They also have budgeted for an alarm and PA system to be installed.

AIMS Budget

Presenter CBO Ballentine:

 

We've seen an overall increase in enrollment across all three schools by about five percent, the variation of the average daily attendance percentages, and in some cases, those percentages went down like at AIMS Middle School it dropped 2% But it raised 2% at Ames High School which averaged out as being able to claim more average daily enrollment, which means more money.

 

  • There is an influx of state funds
  • There are some programs that are expiring at the end of the year 
  • 2022-23 school year we have lost a little of our federal revenue but the governor covered it in our state revenue
  • There is a 10% COLA increase

We have an overall net gain in revenue per school

 

Miles Dennison with CSMC requested to speak to offer his explanation of the final state budget.

 

President Edington suggested that a separate discussion be scheduled to discuss the final budget.

 

 

C. Edington made a motion to Approve AIMS Budget as presented.
