Discussion Item
- Review current School Land Trust Plan/TSSP Plan
– Discuss enrollment changes. class size, and possible plan amendment.
- Patrick has read the plan and wants to talk more about how the plan is being rolled out and how we hire interventionists. Wondering about support for teachers since we lost a teacher and a school psych with enrollment.
- Deidre is explaining the beginning of year changes. How we lost a school psychologist and a teacher. We are working with Responsive Services to fill that role. We have Paige, our social worker, who is picking up the IEPs for students with pysch services. It’s put more on Paige. In our TSSP plan we wrote that we would hire another MTSS specialist, which would support Paige and people across the building. We have been hiring interventionists since June, not a lot of people are applying. We called the district and they said that they would pay for Paige, which captures extra money for us. This would go towards interventionists to better support each grade level. If we pull back all the money from the Land Trust and TSSP it would only support one teacher. It would be better used to hire more people to support teachers. We gave some ideas to the BLT, and proposed that every single grade gets an interventionist. The goal being that we change the data. They would have two people to support each grade level. EX. K-1, 2-3, 4-5. When not in SBI time they would be in their assigned grade level supporting those teachers. We would now have the money to cover an interventionist in each grade.
- Audrey Sharkey brought up training and how the aides are supported. They are given a condensed version of training that the teachers also get. It was also discussed about how many interventionists were in place last year.
- Patrick brought up if this is something that can happen next year. The discussion they are having is that we would be able to use this for this school year.
- Audrey Sharkey brought up sharing a school pscyh with another school. Deidre says that currently we do not have that option available. We have to have the specialist who is coming in and support testing while Paige is supporting services.
- Last year it was 50/50 when paying the social worker then it was 25/75, now the district will pay 100% of the salary.
- We are hoping the message can be relayed that we need to hire 3 interventionists when they know they will be with a specific grade.
- Megan English asked if they will be doing both Math and ELA groups. They will be doing both groups.
- Deidre discussed Senate Bill 241 which is an early literacy goal from the legislation of getting all students need to be on grade level reading and if they aren’t we create something an IRP. The IRP supports their reading goal. Canyons has adopted it as a K-5 model and not the required K-3 level required by the state.
- Audrey Sharkey- asked if we would hold back 5th graders. Deidre said that’s not the intent of the bill. The intent is to have them get what they need early on in education.
- Megan English brought up how often we assess to see where they are at. We do it 3 times a year to see where they are at.
- Patrick discussed that other schools receive grants in Granite and how that helped support them. It sounds like it would be beneficial to see the growth. He wanted to know if we can use progress monitoring data to see if it’s helping our kids grow. We will be using that collection to see how it does support academic achievement.

- Deidre communicated that interventions are to help support kids and fill those gaps for all students, so they can exit and be back in Tier 1.
- Patrick is hoping to see more data about growth and right now the data isn’t showing all that on the internet or state websites. Deidre said that most of the showing of growth will come through progress monitoring. This will be focused solely on Reading and not as much on Math. Our goal is to share more data and show parents what is happening with students and their growth. Deidre is going to work on a tool to show the data to SCC for next month.
- Patrick offered to help Noelle with any data for the school. We need to amend our Plan for TSSP and Landtrust to put those new monies toward interventionists.
- Deidre created a draft and proposed that we move money from Social Worker (which will not be provided by the district), to hire more interventionists.
- Audrey asked about the allocations for this school year. It is roughly about $22,000 about how much money we recoup to support interventionists.
- Patrick and Megan are in favor of approving the amendment today. If they say we need more people we can go and get their votes.
- Deidre is wanting to send out on Parent Square to say that we have the positions open and we want to hire the best fit for our school. This would be sent to the next board meeting. It goes to Alice, School Performance Director, who then takes it to the board. We have responsive Board Members who may ask questions.
- We could create a supplemental meeting to support if we need more votes.
- A motion was brought to approve the amendment by Patrick Barrett. It was seconded by Elise Hillstrom. All votes were in favor that were present at the SCC meeting.
– Meeting Dates and times: The discussion was brought up by Elise Hillstrom about changing
times for SCC future meetings. Patrick and Megan brought up keeping to the times allotted.
– Motion was brought by Audrey that we move to Tuesday at 3:15 pm to have meetings. We
would need to stick to our time. Deidre will adjust the days for when we meet to the Tuesday
before the Wednesday now scheduled. Patrick said he can join virtually in October. It was
seconded by Cathy and Patrick.
– Council Contact list is shared with the District. Patrick is going to share a google teams
number that will go directly to him then she can upload to the state site. That way we can all
communicate with each other.
