The principal further explained that the master schedule had not been updated due to the fact that staffing levels would affect the number of courses able to be offered.

3.4 Budget allocations for the 21/22 school year. Discussion and possible action on the Strategic, Title 1, Zoom, HOPE2, and Title III allocations for the 21/22 school year. The principal explained that he was advised to plan on Zoom allocations for the 21/22 school year. The principal made clear that the legislative session was ongoing and the final budget for the State was not approved yet. The principal provided three options along with their costs. The first option provided access to the greatest number of teachers. The second option provided access to additional teachers, office staff, and individuals who could support students' social emotional needs. The third option allowed the staff to keep the third AP position and an additional office staff. The SOT thought the second or third option would be best. Additional feedback will be gathered and presented at the next SOT meeting.
