ACT update: starts in Jan (ACT/ASPIRE test Mar 5th) Equivalent test preparation paid for by grants; A private course with this material would be $1,500-$2,000 per student. FAQ - What other questions do you have that you think need to be answered? Financial Report: Kent Brown Spent $31k this year so far; $6k on Science equipment; $5k ACT licensing; $10k for chrome books and cart; Spent $10k of the planned $17k Paraprofessional; still have the $2k Digital Citizenship that is planned for the springtime. Three years of funding at the same time; voted on this year's budget last year, reporting on last year's funds, and will plan for next year's funds in the spring. We were given $47k this year, but that amount vacillates depending on the interest on the state Land Trust funds. See training notes below. Training: Received email from Kent with a video training and 2023 slide deck; training every year for UAA Community Council to watch that explains where the funding comes from; all the interest from the funds go to schools within Utah. Responsibilities as Community Council members - funding from this source needs to be spent on student-centered outcomes. Technology Report: none Other Business: ACT prep is going well (typically 11th grade)! Same with Aspire Testing (9th and 10th grade). Looking at shifting to in house next year maybe. Both ACT and Aspire Testing are planned for March 5th. Next Meeting: Jan 23, 2024 (either 5pm or 6pm works for most people) Close: M.
