Mr. Nestoryak suggested that NOE will get a little over 60K as told by our district Trust Lands rep. She figures there is a 5% wiggle room for slight changes.
Kelly Johnson brought up the question if future trust lands monies will have monies for school security. Trust Lands has to be used Phil has talked with the city to install a west end camera and the foundation may be able to fund some more as well. We have cameras inside the school (5) next to the stairwells. Police officers also can pull up all cameras.
Buddy benches were brought up. WHS is donating 2 to NOE.
The new park plans were mentioned. We will have several proposals presented at our next meeting.
The 2018-2019 distribution in this plan is an estimate. If the actual distribution is more than the estimate, how will additional funds be spent to implement the goals described in the plan?
Any increased distribution this year will be used toward providing teachers and students online supplement programs that will enhance and support student learning in the classroom, providing time for teacher collaboration and training, provide for student intervention, and used to enhance the technology throughout the building. This can also be spent educational field trips to enhance the learning experiences of our students and to provide teachers with professional development opportunities throughout the school.
