JTR we would create a process of inclusion to garner opinions and help form other stakeholders.
RF when SB1133 comes out the State will stipulate whom will have the input and control.
- SB1133 Resolution:
- Whereas CTA brought a law suit against the Governor for underfunding K-12 in 2004-5 and 2005-6,
- And whereas now LAHS may be receiving millions of state dollars to reduce class size to 25:1 and counselor ration to 300:1,
- And whereas School Site Council is the principal LA High School body responsible for the allocation of government funds,
- And whereas School Site Council seeks to represent the interests of all stake holders involved in the implementation of SB1133 (Parent, Students, Teachers, Out of the classroom personnel, and the principal),
- Therefore let it be resolved that School Site council create a timeline and program for how to get input from parents, teachers, students, out of the classroom personnel, and administration about how to best implement SB1133 to effectively reduce class size and counselor rations.
- And let if further be resolved that School Site Council be the group responsible for creating a detailed plan for how the SB1133 money should be spent at LAHS and should be the official body to oversee the allocation/spending of SB1133 monies at LAHS.
