et. Budgeting for high end items

such as

a bus in not an easy task. School

building needs are school vehicle,

west side elementary windows,

door and kitchen windows and hall-

way carpet. The curriculum group

er area schools, looking for a way

grant available. Ms John’s is thank-

ful for the group of people serving on

this committee. Mrs Wald asked if

there was discussion on any bigger

items possibly a new gym, new

flooring, parking lot? Ms Johns stat-

ed

the summary she provided were the

short-term goals. The 1-2 year goals

would be student parking, mpr

gym floor. The 3-5 year goals would

be adding 10-15 classrooms, a new

gym and replacing carpet in

existing rooms. The 5-10 year goals

are more new buses, and a new skid

steer. The board ask for bids to

replace carpet. Mr Gerding has

those bids, he will present them at

the next meeting. It is not in the

budget for this year. Cultural Im-

provement Committee: The commit-

tee met twice last month to review

the survey results. There were 39

staff responses to the survey. Mr

Tyler discussed some of the

suggestions from the survey.

Recommendations: create, display,

and follow an organizational

chart/chain of command, this would

pertain to everyone; create a fair &

flexible student discipline matrix, this

would be Mr Gerding and both prin-

cipals and possibly a few teachers;

increase board visibility & availabili-

ty, this item falls on the board;

create a complaint process & conflict

resolution, this pertains to everyone;

update staff handbooks & job

descriptions, this would be the

responsibility of administration; sup-

port & participate in PTA to engage

teachers and parents; increase staff

salaries seeking additional funding if

necessary, this would be the respon-

sibility of Mr Gerding and the board.

Mr Tyler thanked those serving on

the committee. The board needs to

provide a short bio to Mr Gorthy for

the website. Mr Gerding added

that he has met with both elementa-

ry & high school staff and discussed

the budget and how funds are

spent. Recognition of the Surrey
