Meeting Discussion Notes
Gathering School-Wide Input
The group discussed various methods for gathering school-wide input for the LSAT to reflect in its budget discussions. A balance must be found between being open to input and also being realistic about the limited scope of the LSAT and the limited flexibility of the Principal in how budgets may be formulated given standard staffing profiles and restrictions on funding sources. The group decided that at the next PTSA meeting Josh will provide a status update on LSAT activities and ask that any ideas be shared to the LSAT parent individuals over email.
Status Update:
- Enrollment projection is complete at 335 up from last year’s estimate of 308
- Schools First in Budgeting Act – https://lims.dccouncil.gov/Legislation/B24-0570
- Budget process that we are starting now
