Goals for 1999-2000 were distributed:
$454,000 was allotted to Bowie High School in School-Based money.
$109,008 was set aside for technology purchases.
$ 60,000 was set aside for a technology specialist who would be instruction oriented.
$ 3,000 was set aside to repair vandalism to Lab 110.
$ 60,000 was set aside for an attendance secretary.
$222,000 remains
After must discussion, the group agreed that the two-year-long quest to place a computer in every classroom would become of top priority of the remaining $222,000 comprehensive dollars. Staff will now place such requests in for approval and action.
Once the budget for a "computer in every classroom" is calculated, the remaining monies will then be determined and future budget items assigned.
The PTSA also requested staff complete a Wish List and submit it.
The PTSA advised staff of the October 25th City of Bowie council meeting in which a councilmember considered exploring a technology task force to assist the local schools.
The PTSA requested input from staff as to budget items to request at the upcoming budget session to be held at Bowie High School on Monday, November 8th at 7pm.
Reminder:
Dr. Metts and Robert Callahan will be at our next PTSA meeting on Tuesday, November 16th at 7:30 pm.
