School Budget: Principal Charmaine Marshall

(see reports)
Cuts across district illustrated in packet presented
Bryant is a Tier 4 school (budget is determined by tiers, tiers based on test scores
Bryant losing 1.5-positions/Assistant principal reduced by .5/Cert Core reduced by .5)
District is going back to legislature and hope is to restore 2.5 mil, which would restore .5 of Assistant Principal and .5 of Cert Core
Week of 4/28 will be week of decision from legislature
Reduced .5 PCP (PE/music)
Bryant filled out a waiver to get a .5 interventionist and .5 Librarians, waiver denied
Scenario voted on and approved by staff thus far for budget is to have a ½ combo and 4/5 combo

Playground Steering Committee: Mary Strazer

Discussion with SPS to renovate playground, immediate concerns of grass field replacement and new wood chips under play area to be paid for by SPS.
Work to start in the spring, possible field closures. Holes in field are being filled March 30^th.
Talking to students and staff about what structures and things that are needed on the playfield.
Looking at matching grant of 50k from a local playground supply company- require deposit from matching before getting funding. No timeline.
Neighborhood matching fund grant has dropped to 25k
If we receive both grants we would still need 50-90k to rehab playground
Possibility of requesting some funds from LASER
Consideration to be given to Field Day and Blast
Irrigation provided by SPS only is on for 2 years. Last irrigation was 10 years ago, so way overdue.
Discussed fundraising strategies for playground- looking at 50k +. Fundraising then depends on when we want to execute playground changes
Wunderkind/LASER/PE all involved in committee efforts
Grass is already funded by SPS
