3.B. Presentation: Ranchwood Elementary School
Agenda Item Type:
Action Item
Discussion:
Kristin introduced Candy Myers the music teacher. She got a grant from the Oklahoma Foundation for Excellence and went to the Czech Republic. Was with musicians 16-80 years old for two weeks. She did a blog while she was away and a slide show. She grew technically and her students gained a lot through this journey. Mr. and Mrs. Rowe introduced me to the grant opportunity. Denton Behymer lead the 2nd grade pack in coin conversion lessons with Czech crowns and Euros. The third graders learned how to be copyists. Using ink and working by candle light they had to duplicate sheet music for the price of one Euro per page. The class blended online with small group activities beginning with Bach. Then the students made marionettes with Mrs. Ferris' assistance.

3.C. Analysis of Midyear State Allocation
Agenda Item Type:
Action Item
Discussion:
While the district grew in Average Daily Membership and Total State Aid, through the State Aid Equalization Reductions our actual allocation was a loss of $786,759.00 from the state.
With what we lost at the state and gained due to local growth, our budget is less $32,197.00. Mr. Wells asked if there is anything we can take to our elected officials to share our concern? Tomorrow is the Legislative Breakfast and you can ask them to hold charter schools to same funding formula. There are about 61 students in our district who attend virtual school outside of our school district for whom we do not receive funding. |
