G. Student Representative Communications H. Community Communications I. Revenue and Expenditure Reports for Month Ended February 2019 There will be some increase in staffing needs. Each school submitted staffing requests for next year. The total of all requests is about 1.8 million dollars. The requests are being split into services just to keep up with current services (Level 1). Level 2 is additional staffing requests of about $523k.  These are seen as beneficial to the students. Level 2 includes additional music, counseling, a transition coordinator, etc.   Level 3 and 4 are also considered good services but there likely will not be funding for all of that. The current budget reflects an additional $200 per student in funding but it is currently not clear what the state budget will look like. The hiring environment is competitive and it is hoped that some of these jobs could be posted soon.  There was some discussion about the different levels and possibilities of some adjustments. C. 4K Programming Agreements DIscussion of increases in funding for 4K programming. D. SDMA Employee Compensation for 2019-2020 CPI will increase salaries. Returning teachers would mostly recieve an approximate $1975 increase. Tanya Husby raises issue of low pay for paraeducators. There was a lot of discusison and negotiation on this last year. Several board members agreed with this. 
The new pay scale removes the lowest range of pay scale and adds another at the top so that there is still a place for long-term teachers to increase.
