The purpose of a SAC is to assist in the preparation and evaluation (developing and evaluating) of the School Performance Plan (SPP) and to assist the principal with the annual school budget. In this capacity, SAC approves plans submitted for distribution of School Recognition Funds (A+ dollars). Additionally, SAC receives funds to be used at the discretion of the School Advisory Committee with the stipulation that a portion of the money is used for implementing the SPP. As a team of individuals representing the community served by the school, SAC plays an important role in providing valuable input and oversight into the school improvement process.

At the December 20, 2023, SAC meeting, the SAC council discussed and congratulated the Bluewater Elementary School (BES) team for being an A+ school for the 20th year. BES achieved 81% of the points possible in the three categories in which the school was graded.

As a team, the SAC Council created the following timeline:

• Plans are due January 9th. The A+ Money Committee will review the plans on January 9th at 3:45 PM.

• Plans that meet the criteria will be advertised for faculty and staff on January 10th, 11th, and 12th. 

• Faculty and staff will vote on January 16th, 17th, and 18th.

• The A+ Money Committee will count votes on January 18th at 3:45 PM.

• The SAC will meet on January 24th at 7:30 AM and will also plan to meet on January 29th if the other pieces of the plan are not completed, or if there needs to be a run-off to achieve 51%.

• SAC must be done before February 1st to give the BES bookkeeper time to submit the plans. 

Kristy Saylor volunteered to serve on the A+ Money Committee again this year. She was approved unanimously.
