The May APA meeting will take place next Wednesday at 7 pm in the school library. This is the second to last meeting of the school year and there is a hefty agenda.
Along with the monthly committee updates and financial briefing, there are several items of interest for parents:
- a VOTE on technology spending for 2012-2013. The motion, put forward by the technology committee at the April meeting is as follows:
- Motion: To spend up to $20,000 for four roving Smart Boards and 4 laptops with the understanding that the school with cover the costs of peripherals.
- Motion: To spend up $2,500 on up to 8 document cameras.
- Motion: To spend up to $1,000 on one monitor and 2 digital cameras with the school to cover the installation costs.
- Motion: To spend up to $5,000 on up to 10 iPads.
As this is a significant expenditure, it is important for as many parents as possible to vote!
There will also be a presentation of the staffing model for 2012-2013 by our Principal, Jennie Ucar.
As planning gets underway for next year, this meeting and the June meeting (date will be determined at this meeting as the regularly scheduled last Wednesday of the month does not work for June) where the 2012-2013 budget is presented are important to all of us. Please attend and take part in the important planning for our school.
As always childcare is available with an rsvp.
