Agenda Items:
1. Welcome and call meeting to order
2. Approval of minutes from our last meeting: Kali Agy motioned to approve, Ann
Fisher seconded the motion. All approved.
3. Update to Lunch Supply Issue: During the November meeting, members
brought up concerns that not all side items on the lunch menu are available for
students with later lunch periods, noting excess self-portioning and waste. Our
lead cafeteria worker is taking extra care to make sure all side items are
available at each lunch period. Teachers commented that staff is doing a good
job replenishing sides.
a. We have also hired a replacement cafeteria support staff member for lunch
monitoring.
4. Review current year’s plans:
a. 50-60% of students in various grades have made half a year’s growth at
this point. Our goal is 80%. The current budget is looking on point,
pending any unknown changes from the district. Our next step is to begin
developing next year’s plan.
b. Front Office Coverage Concerns:
i. The new Front Office Secretary will be here full time as of next year.
This staff member is an obligatory transfer from Bella Vista.
Members and parents have expressed concerns about lack of
coverage in the front office/safety. Mr. Walker has checked in with
office staff to make sure there will always be at least one person in
the office. Members questioned why our school only has a half time
position when there are funds for a full time position. Members
expressed concerns that time stays at 50% given that we have more
students and more work as registration and end of year activities
pile up.5. Begin writing TSSP and Land Trust plans for next year
a. FTE (full time employee): Our full time staffing is based on enrollment
and permitting numbers. Mr. Walker is hoping to hire at least 2 new
teachers–1 is retiring, and projected numbers would qualify us for another
faculty member. SCC would be responsible for funding .65 salary.
b. Permits: Canyon View currently has 47 new open enrollment permits,
including kindergarten enrollment. Kindergarten registration opens
Friday. Those numbers will impact class sizes and the number of permits
we accept. We will wait to accept or deny permits until we know our own
projected kindergarten enrollment. Because we are now at our
recommended permit cap, we can only accept a limited number of
additional permits. Currently permitted families with siblings or incoming
kindergarten students are already included in our numbers (accepted).
i. All projections are tentative and subject to change. Projected
kindergarten numbers are expected at the end of January, or
beginning of February.
ii. Numbers will affect kindergarten aide roles and interventionist
hours.
6. 7. 8. The district stipulates changing bylaws slightly to remove ambivalent language.
Land trust money for 2026-27 bumped up by $15 K
Final report for previous year’s plan due to be submitted by principal to School
Performance by end of January.
