f the process is applying with the
IRS for tax-exempt status. This has to be postmarked the day we turn
over the proposal. I also have letters available if you would like to
ask local businesses for donations.
We will have two lego robotics teams. We are still looking for players ages nine/fourth grade to 14. Time commitment is 90 minutes a week at the Albany library from September to the first week in December. We will meet on Mondays at 4:15. The cost will be $20 per child. Please let me know if you would like to join. There are a limited number of spots.
Don't forget the yard sale coming this weekend. Donations can be dropped off at 4041 Thoroughbred Ave in the Bridle Springs Subdivision off of Knox Butte. Baked goods are also welcome!
Still working on securing the location. If you have ANY connections with a local large church that would consider leasing to us, please let me know. I would be happy to meet with them.
For the proposal our plan is to narrow down the curricula choices, and emphasize that we would lik input from out teachers for our final decision. We think that it's important to involve our educators in the materials they will be teaching our kids.
Discipline policy. We reviewed the policy that was submitted, and decided to do some more research on GAPS policy. We would like it to be a little more positive, and put the power back in the teacher and principals hands. The one we have is very thorough
Other Fundraising: don't forget we have papa murphy's coupon cards for sale for $5 each. They will be available at the yard sale as well, Working with Red Robin to set up a fundraiser night.
Salaries: We talked a lot about what we can afford to pay our teachers and staff. We decided that it really depends on what we can afford after our lease. Charter Schools generally pay less than public schools. But working environment is different too. We decided to have different levels for teachers with a Bachelor's and with a master's. And also a dedication increase for those that say with us for a set amount of time. We also addressed assistants and how they would be paid. We decided assistants would work 8 hours per day on average, and will be paid a salary. This will be easier to budget for. We also discussed trying to get basic insurance for all full time employees. We also spoke about the need for a janitor/maintenance person for a few hours every evening.
Hiring process: 1. Post openings on website 2. Submit resume with cover letter 3. Principal will narrow down the applications. 4. Interviews will be held with at least 2 board members, at least 1 teacher, at least 1 staff, Principal, at least 2 students, and at least 2 parents. The same committee will need to be at each interview. Applicant will be asked to submit a lesson plan and also be asked to teach a classroom while under observation.
If anyone knows an interested CPA or lawyer that would like to join our board, please let me know. We could really use someone like this to help with issues that arise.
