Final TSSP Approval
Steve reminded everyone that this is the funding that goes along with the Land Trust funding which was already approved at the last meeting. Lori noted that the input of the committee is so valuable. The TSSP was sent out via email for review; the following was noted in that email from Lori: “I did end up putting our Math goals in with the Land Trust Literacy goals. They are attached above. Both accounts will then support all academic goals that we have for ALL students. The climate goal that we are targeting next year is attendance and that is only included in the TSSP plan. I also changed all wording in our Literacy goals to “growth” as suggested in our last meeting.”
Lori reviewed the highlights of the plan once again, to include the PE Instructional Technician, the Art Instructional Technician, and 3 additional interventionists to support literacy/math goals. The plan also includes the School Climate Attendance Goal. Approximately 37% of students are categorized as off-track or severe for attendance. The plan details how we plan to improve attendance at Midvale Elementary. Steve noted that parents may have been extra cautious this year, keeping kids home more often than they normally would have for a cough, etc. Amanda noted that the attendance interventions typically focus on those kids with chronic attendance issues that have been occurring over long periods of time. The plan also includes new PBIS supplies as well as BLT/SELT supports. Haydee asked if additional funds could be put toward the Family Learning Center. Lori noted that the Title I funds can be used towards the FLC needs. For example, they purchased Chromebooks for the FLC using Title I funds. TSSP funds (not Land Trust) could potentially be used for FLC needs if needed. Steve wondered about adding a line to the TSSP in case there are additional funds available to be used towards the FLC. Committee members agreed. No other changes were recommended.
Bryant made a motion to approve the 2021-22 TSSP. Juliet seconded it. All approved. SCC members are asked to come in tomorrow to sign the document as it is due tomorrow!
