Welcome/Warm-up – Nancy and Brad

• We introduced new and veteran SILT members.
• Our treasure hunt showed how much we have in common and how we are different – Thanks Nancy
• Brad explained SILT cabinet and the schedule for the year.

• We need to look at the fire drill evacuation system in regard to placement on the playzone. Brenda, Vickie, and Jeff will meet, sketch out a map, and distribute them to those that need it.
• Survey results from the retreat. The results were outstanding and we will use it to help plan for retreat 00-01.
• Copying issue for our building. Could we have unlimited numbers in which we regulate how many we use? We would still see how many copies we have used. This might alleviate lines at the end of the months. Let’s just see how September goes and communicate with the office if it is too much or not enough.
• Teachers getting keys for their own individual classroom was an issue discussed with Dave. Dave brought up how we might want to wait till construction is done because we are getting new doors.
• A letter was sent to Brad concerning the movement of classrooms during the placement of the windows on the 1929 addition. This letter stated that there might be a partnership available with the YWCA. A set activity could be done at the YWCA instead of moving classes to a different location for a few days. Brad would like to know the construction timetable and if classroom teachers involved would like to do this before making a decision. Crow and Illini, ask your village.
• How is it decide which decisions are made by SILT, SILT Cabinet, Administrator, or Central Office? It depends on guidelines made by state, district, or building policies.

• Although we have 5 main goals for the school, this year we will be targeting

• A compliment by the Learning Center Trio to the staff for the patience through the start-up of the year.
• Regardless of grade level, students will sign Internet use agreement but no tests will be taken. Until then, please do not let students on the Internet.
• With the Listserv, everyone is on but the student teachers. Please remember to use the Listserv for professional purposes only.
• From district level, there is a change in the role of the LC. Mary is the main technology support. She will not be in the learning center to deliver instruction. Brian Abeling will hold a meeting on September 9, 1999 for about 10 minutes. He will explain what will be going on throughout the district and then Mary will share how this will specifically pertain to WIS.

• We are allocated around $26,000 a year, not including one time, unused instructional monies, or enterprise funds. (Rental, Snapple, picture, & latchkey).
• DILT will be looking at how money is allocated this year as part of the district goal.
• Brad shared the budget set by last year’s team and explained it.
• Brad made the decision to take out $5,000 of the cash reserves to put into one time furniture money. This was for the new technology tables. Thank you Brad!
• Three ways WIS have money: cash reserves (like a Certificate of Deposit), contingency (like a savings account), allocated (like a checking account).
• Unused instructional materials dollars need to be used by December 1, 1999.
• During the village meeting, you need to finalize your decisions about how best to spend your monies to enhance the instructional strategies of your team.

• When you meet as a village, you need to make sure everyone is there and minutes need to be recorded on the attached form and emailed to Brad.
• Village meetings are very important to the way that Washington is governed and good communication is essential. Please forward your teams ideas to SILT cabinet so that the instructional needs of the school can be met.
• Dave, Brad, and Nancy will be attending Village meetings this year.
