Discussion of Seed Fund Proposals
Summer School
There is a strong possibility that the county will be distributing money out to individual schools this year so that they can run their own summer school programs. That, plus the money available in the Summer Bridge program should allow us to provide some unique opportunities for all students this summer. We will take a checkpoint after this summer and determine if we need to apply for seed fund money next year for our 2015 Summer School program. For these reasons, the SGC will not be applying for seed fund money for the 2015 Summer School program this year.
Avid
The schools in south county are applying for the AVID program, so Centennial has been added into their proposal. So, all fees will be taken care of by the county. Centennial will have to incur tutoring and supply fees to be part of the AVID program, so the SGC will be applying for seed fund money to cover those expenses.
Weight Training Equipment
The budget and action plan will be completed shortly for this proposal. The football program has been very instrumental in the development of this plan. All sports need to be encouraged to utilize this equipment and facility.
Media Center
This proposal needs to get approval from the Fulton County Schools facilities group.
There was discussion on areas that the SGC would like to pursue in the future. There probably needs to be another survey of the community and parents to get a checkpoint of where things are. A suggestion was made to perhaps include the feeder middle school communities in the survey as well. Ideas for the future include:
· International Baccalaureate – Eva Taylor will organize a committee to look into this.
· More dual enrollment opportunities
· Add a new Career Tech program
· Pursue additional internships through discussions with local business owners
The Outreach and Communications committee will be meeting in the next couple of weeks.
The next Council meeting has been changed to February 25, 2014 at 7:30am in the Media Center Conference Room.
Future meeting dates: 3/31, 4/28
The meeting adjourned at 8:34 am.
