following: White Airheads, suckers, donuts, and cookies. 1200

Order more next year if you can.
Canned Food Drive – Theme is “Arcade
Games”. Drive will be week before and week of Spirit Week April
8-12th.
Legislative Update – SB81 –
take money from all districts and public schools and refund the
schools who don’t have enough – many charters will get more
money. Mr. Glenn would urge us to oppose.
SB110 – Give principals more autonomy
but also gives school community council more control of school. Mr.
Glenn would urge us to oppose. Nice to have more control but puts
huge responsibility school community council and they are not
educators and may have to constantly meet to just approve day to day
expenditures.
HB133 - Publish teachers scores as raw
data. Should show school performance but goes too far beyond the
current reports. Mr. Glenn would urge us to oppose.
HB55 – Education funding.
Other Items: Bring Parents to
