E. Single Plan for Student Achievement Approval Mike Olander introduced the Single Plan for Student Achievement “the Plan” and handed out copies as currently agreed to by the Principals in the Santee District. He walked through highlights of the Plan including any new budgeted items and how goals were set as well as the basis for achieving the goals. For example, there are no base tests scores from last year to help goal setting standards so the Principals felt like 80% of proficiency in student performance for this year while adopting and implementing the new Common Core curriculum was a good goal for the 2014-2015 school year. These standards will be reassessed annually as test scores and other student assessments are available.

Sharon Eldredge asked if the district budget could provide funding for after school intervention groups for Math and Language Arts for kids in need and Rebecca Cress asked about including a Write to Learn Program on-line as an inexpensive option to enhance writing skills for kids in need (both of which are currently not in the current budget). Mike Olander agreed that these are important tools to consider and will talk to the other Principals about looking into these tools as options to add to the Plan in the future.

Mike Olander announced that the Principals will be voting on the Plan this Friday, December 5th and asked for a motion to be made to approve the Plan, as currently written. Sharon Eldredge made a motion to approve the Plan, as currently written, and Cathy Tolnay seconded the motion. Motion was carried. All members present voted in favor of the motion and Mike Olander agreed to bring any changes to the Plan discussed by the Principals to this Committee for vote after their meeting this Friday.

F. General Announcements - None
