•2017-2018 Plan Changes
* Chrome book lab cost decrease-we will have chrome books that are a bit smaller and more durable. Instead of purchasing 30 books, we will be able to purchase 40 which will fit comfortably in the new cart.
*Attendance Goal – A suggestion was given by the District Trustland Coordinator to place the attendance goal in the action plan as a sub-category. It will be #5 in the action plan of both goal 1 and 2. We may have $3000 extra if we don’t have to use Trustland Money to pay someone to do attendance. This decreased the number of goals from 3 goals to 2 goals.
*A discussion was had concerning Imagine Learning and if Midland should look at purchasing the program if the legislature did not continue to fund it.
*The state is working on an issue with the carry over amount not populating correctly in the program.
*Motion to ratify the plan with the changes made: vote is unanimous from all members present.

*A Tier II Behavior Unit will be placed at our school next year. It will be a mixed 3/4 grade class. The students are SPED and will be bussed to Midland. The goal of a Tier II unit is to prepare students to re-enter regular classrooms. The students may spend some time in regular classrooms to help achieve this goal. There will be a discussion about Midland having a full time counselor at that time.
