Additions/Changes Chair Agenda approved: to Agenda Sandra (1 min.) Cindy 4. Reading and Approval of Minutes Secretary (2min.) 5. Reports of Chair Special Report – Steve McMahon, Amy Officers/Committees Ruffo, and Steve Adamo (5min.) Principal Items purchased need to be in compliance DELAC with Measure H bond language, district standards, and then voted on by SSC. DAC Other Question – the original discussion about portables but want clarification. Answer – not sure about enrollment but are hesitant to endorse a portable because if a portable is built then it can be filled. It will be counted as a classroom. District standard is = classroom for kids plus 3. There is a hard number for enrollment but this can be fudged because houses are purchased based upon school neighborhoods and district will try to honor that as much as they can. Booksin has almost reached it capacity, though.

Question – What are other projects that schools are doing? Apple TV, mounted projectors, murals, etc. Almaden- mounted projectors and Apple TV (14 rooms = $3100.) Los Alamitos is doubling there play structure approx. = 125,000. Outdoor sounds system = approx. 25,000.

1 Question – Can we be sure how much these things will cost? Answer – Lauren will deal with Amy to narrow down the cost as soon as we a more firm on what we want.

Question – Still want a new multipurpose building. Is that being considered? Answer – It is not considered a viable idea if it is just to hold “all” the kids. A lot of money would be spent for a building that is not in use a majority of the time.

Question – Bathrooms? Answer – The district standard is not being met here and this is being addressed for 16/17. Any time a school is not at where they have to be by district standard and it will be addressed.

Question – Security? Answer – This will be paid by the district. Door locks in the next few months and cameras will be next year. Terrell has purchased a new gate in the front. District will pay for the standard. If we want an upgrade, we will have to pay for it. Cameras -The standard is 5 cameras for elementary schools, but if there is a need we can look at an additional camera. Steve stated that adding the 6th camera will not be that much better. Steve Adamo says that there is a team looking at the safety/security issues and you can trust that the district will take care of this.

Steven M. stated that we should spend the money on items that are unique and will help the school feel like they purchased items from the Measure H money which support what is needed at the school.

Motioned and Seconded Approved

Lauren on Apple TV- are looking into it with the Tech committee and possibly piloting. Wants to vote on purchasing projectors in the 2 labs and library.

Discussion - A concern was brought up about spending money too soon, just in case something comes up and we do not have all of our ideas in place yet.

Discussion – The projectors are needed to support instruction in the labs and this has been discussed at a number of meetings. Decided to add the science lab as well.

Cindy – motioned to approve the purchase of projectors for computer labs, Science room, and Library. Cheryl – seconded Yes – 9 Opposed – 1 Motioned approved

Discussion around finding out the cost of an additional playground, sound system speakers for around the school, trees and benches on the blacktop. Information was given about the sound system that was purchased by BESCA as something that can be used which would cut the cost of purchasing a sound system.

Suggestions: get quotes for mounting the projectors, Apple TV, playground structure, widening the path through Cline park, outside speakers.

Lets reprioritize what we want at this time.
