Time: 5:35 p.m. – 7 p.m.

Location: DPM

Called to Order: 5:35 p.m. by Principal Misha Plummer

2. Approval of Previous Minutes

Minutes: May 20 SSC meeting.

Motion to approve: Elizabeth Davila

Second: Mrs. Mulligan

Result: Motion passed; minutes approved.

3. Program & Committee Reports

3.1 ELD (English Language Development)

Approx. 250 ELD students, including 133 refugee students.

24 reclassified as English proficient last year (consistent with previous years); reclassification celebrated with a ceremony for students and families.

Languages represented include: Dari, Pashto, Farsi, Spanish, Arabic, Russian.

Site support includes bilingual instructional assistants (Dari, Russian, Spanish) and a Russian-speaking social worker.

Many students are at Level 1 and Level 2 proficiency; focus is on moving students to Level 4 and reclassification before middle school so they can access electives.

3.2 Intervention

Intervention teacher: Meg Helton; second intervention teacher is currently serving as a 4th grade classroom teacher due to early maternity leave. A long-term sub is being trained to support intervention.

Cycle 1: 8 weeks, 16 groups, serving ~70 students. 3 cycles planned per year (45–48 groups total, 70–180 students/year).

Focus on TK–1 reading groups; groups are starting in stages over the week.

Ms. Helton is also: Coaching instructional assistants and teachers in small-group reading instruction.

Supporting organization of the book room and data tracking.

3.3 PTA

PTA is planning:

Jog-a-thon

Family Movie Night

Jog-a-thon will feature a wind-tunnel prize booth where students collect “buckaroos.”

Still seeking parent representatives for each class to support communication and events.

3.4 Administrative Report

DPM will host a Principal Network meeting focused on “Checking for Understanding.” District leaders will visit classrooms and provide feedback.

Principal met with Superior Sports about continuing structured recess and possible after-school clubs (sports, dance, and arts), pending contract and funding alignment.

4. New SSC Members

Ballots were sent home; two new members and two PTA representatives were elected and seated.

Principal welcomed new members and reviewed SSC’s role in reviewing data, programs, and use of site funds.

5. Parent–School Compact Review & Approval

SSC reviewed the current Parent–School Compact, which was thoroughly revised last year.

Discussion topics: Student expectation of “solving problems” as part of schoolwide norms. Ensuring families understand the compact, especially English Learner families. Need for translation into key languages (Dari, Farsi, Pashto, Russian, Spanish). Suggestion to replace “his/her” with “their” for inclusive language.

Action:

Compact will be updated to change “his/her” to “their.” Compact will be translated into key languages and shared with families.

Motion: Approve the Parent–School Compact with the pronoun change.

Result: Motion passed unanimously.

6. SSC Meeting Schedule (2025–2026)

SSC agreed to meet on Wednesdays at 4:00 p.m. to avoid Board meeting conflicts and support staff/parent schedules.

Agreed dates (Second Wednesday pattern): November 12 – 4:00 p.m. January 14 – 4:00 p.m. March 11 – 4:00 p.m. A possible May meeting may be added to finalize the SPSA if needed.

Motion: Approve the proposed SSC meeting dates.

Result: Motion passed.

7. Budget Context (Information Only)

Enrollment is about 17 students lower than last year, resulting in approximately $100,000 less in site funding. Approx. $75,000 in LCFF supplemental/concentration funds available; must be used carefully and strategically. Title I and other funds must be used for academic supports. Principal will bring a detailed budget summary and funding allocations (LCAP/Title/SPSA) to a future meeting.

8. Action Item: Increase IA1 Hours (Title I)

Due to loss of temporary funding, IA1 positions were reduced from 8 hours to 6 hours/day. One IA1 has moved to a paraeducator role; one remains in general education. Site needs consistent instructional support at the beginning and end of the day. Proposal: Increase remaining IA1 from 6 hours back to 8 hours/day, with additional 2 hours funded by Title I for academic purposes (intervention, tutoring, small-group support). Motion: Approve 2 additional work hours per day (6 → 8 hours) for the remaining IA1, funded through Title I. Result: Motion passed unanimously. Principal will submit the request for district budget approval and ensure the IA’s schedule reflects allowable academic duties.

9. Public Comment

Principal reminded members that meetings are open to the public and families may attend and comment on non-agendized items. No formal public comments were recorded.

10. Announcements & Adjournment

Next SSC meeting: Wednesday, November 12 at 4:00 p.m. at DPM. Motion to adjourn made and seconded. Meeting adjourned at 7 p.m.

   1. Mrs. Plummer explained that do to shuffling of positions, Ms. Templeton was no longer in the position of Intervention teacher which is paid out of Title 1 funds. The teacher we have in that position is a temporary teacher making the difference in salary and benefits left over approximately $88,256. Admin brought this information to the staff to decide what needs still have not been filled and what to do with the excess. 
   2. Mrs. Plummer shared with the council that staff wanted more books and supplies, updated library books for the school library and classrooms, funds for tutoring before CAASPP testing, and data days to analyze iReady scores and running records. 
   3. The council discussed different scenarios including curriculum and consulting. Ms. Plummer explained that some of the suggestions were not covered with Title 1 funds. The council then calculated the expenditures to make sure all dollars were accounted for and agreed with the way the staff’s plan was laid out. 
   4. $60,000 would go to books, materials, supplies, and academic field trips amounting to $1,250 per teacher. $10,000 for classroom supplies for the school, $8,000 for school and classroom library books, $10,000 for tutoring, $2,800 for an academic assembly(Science Alliance).
   5. To make those actions happen the council voted and approved unanimously  needed actions. Add a new action item- 2.8(4000s) Purchase instructional materials and supplies that support effective teaching and learning to enhance classroom instruction and provide additional support for students with the goal of improving overall student achievement. Transfer $88,256  from 2.5 to new action item 2.8. This was the intervention teacher balance. Transfer $18,241 from 1.7(5000s) to 2.8. Tutoring materials are not needed. Move to 2.8 for materials and supplies. Add new action item 1.10- LCFF(1000s) Provide opportunities for staff to analyze student data)CAASPP, iReady, Running Records, SSTs, etc) up to 3 times a year to improve student achievement through the use of DIAs.
