3. a Description of expenditures in Other Purchased Services (Travel / Admission / Printing).
  This question is not applicable.
3. b Description of expenditures in General Supplies.
 
The expenditures listed in General Supplies seem to be incorrectly categorized;
we will correct this problem for the 07-08 school year. We purchased 6
additional LCD projectors, 9 DVD/VCR combos and audiovisual carts for each
system. This should have been categorized under Audiovisual and Technology
Related Hardware and Other Equipment.This supports our educational needs to
support and improve teacher effectiveness with the use of technology. Then in
turn, this supports each of our academic goals in reading, writing, mathematics
and science.
3. c Explanation for the carry over to 2007-2008, if it was more than half of the available funds.
 
This question is not applicable.
4. This is what the School Community Council or Trust Lands Committee planned to do and how they planned for the money to be spent.
 
Naples School Land Trust Committee members again agreed that, in order
to

use the upcoming School Land Trust funds to best support our ongoing goal
of
improving students' reading/language arts skills, we will purchase leveled
books and other language arts materials for classrooms and for our leveled
library.
4. a This is a report of what the school did and how the funds were spent to improve student academic performance.
 
The Trust Lands money that CJH received last year was used to purchase
technology in the classroom (i.e. projectors, televisions).  This use of
technology assisted our teachers in meeting each academic goal listed.We
continued to fund our READ 180 lab which supports our below grade level readers
and our reading goal.  We funded a Homework Lab two days a week.  This lab
provided one on one tutoring for any student - primarily in Math, however
students also received support in Science, Language Arts and Social Studies. 
This program supports math, science, reading and writing goals.
5. These are the committee's specific goals for student improvement entered in the plan.
 
Our goal is for every student to experience at least one year's
academic

growth during the 2006-2007 school year.
5. a This is a report of how the goals were achieved.

     71%Non-Academic:    Student's placement in Advisory was done to allow a
student to have their advisory teacher                                be a
teacher on their regular schedule - which affords the teacher the opportunity to
get to know                               the student on an academic and
non-academic setting.  This also provides opportunities for the teacher-        
                     student relationship (advocate relationship) to develop.
6. This is how the committee planned to measure/assess academic improvement.
 
Academic improvement will be measured or assessed using a variety
of

measures, including - but not limited to - informal reading inventories,
running records, DIBELS, NWEA, and State CORE assessments.
6. a This is a report on how academic improvement was measured/assessed.
