The meeting was called to order at 6:30 p.m. 2.

September 12th minutes were approved as amended. 4.
Principal’s report 4.1. Lori Butler submitted a list of available programs at Chipeta.
Subjects include: reading, math, writing, science, social studies, other
curricular, dicipline, and non-curricular, as well as clubs. The list numbered
44 programs currently being used by staff, and was passed on to District 11
administration. The list is available in the office for those interested in reviewing a
copy. 4.2 RtI (Response to Intervention) is being well received by the
teachers because more students have more face time with licensed teachers. 4.3 Lori explained the child study process. Basically, Mrs. Schulte, the
classroom teacher, RtI, the child’s parents and Lori meet to discuss the
issues and develop interventions. If the interventions are not as successful as
planned, then the child is tested. In order to place a child on an IEP, the
discrepancy between the test score and the child’s performance must equal a
state mandated benchmark. However, students who do not qualify for an IEP are
still receiving attention from RtI teachers in the classroom. Currently 32
students are on IEPs, split between 4 RtI teachers. 4.4 Parents who are concerned that their child may be dyslexic must
receive a medical diagnosis. Students are not tested for dyslexia during child
study testing. Chipeta does have reading programs available through the RtI to
address dyslexic tendencies. Two of the programs available are Linguistic
Remedies and Lindamood Bell. 4.5. The LRT is giving support to teachers who have many students on
ILPs due to the new Dibbles test. Next year, the test may be given a few weeks
later in the fall. This may reduce the number of students on ILPs. 4.6 Chipeta out-performed all other D-11 elementary schools on our last
quarterly assessments. 5.
