CSES SAEC Meeting for 1/18/2011

Posted on January 22nd, 2011 by

Tuesday, January 18th, 2011, was the Citrus Springs Elementary School’s Advisory Enhancement Council meeting. CSES was my son’s first school  and was where I was first elected SAEC Chairperson.  The school has changed a little and yet so much at the same time but what hasn’t changed is the great work the students, parents, educators, staff and administration are doing. It was wonderful to visit with old friends and be introduced to new faces!

At the meeting CSES SAEC voted to accept the staff recommendation for the “A+” recognition funds.  The staff recommended to use 10% of the funds for technology improvements and tools for students.

CSES has been chosen as one of the elementary schools to participate in the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP).  The NAEP is a periodic assessment of student progress conducted in the United States by the National Center for Education Statistics, a division of the U.S. Department of Education. The assessment covers the areas of mathematics, reading, writing, science, and more. The NAEP results, released as “The Nation’s Report Card“, and can be used by state and federal policymakers.

The CSES Parent Teachers Organization (PTO) reported that they raised over $1,351.00 through the Box Tops for Education program so far this school year.  They have one more submission they will make and they hope to raise another $1,000 with those box tops.  The PTO sponsored a “Grand-Morning” with grandparents coming to have breakfast with their student(s).  Over a 100 grandparents came!  On March 26th the CSES will have a family spring carnival sponsored in part by the CSES PTO.

Lastly the administration talked about the CSES 25th Anniversary Celebration which will be March 10th at CSES.  They hope to have all the past Principals attend.
