6.1.8. Consider and approve additional laptop purchases
Rationale:
When purchasing laptops last spring we bought in larger packages to get a better buy. Due to the extra laptops purchased and a few students leaving we are just a few short for providing two classes with new laptops with year. We have $6380 remaining in the REAP Grant for this year. Five additional laptops will cost us $4645. Next year the Elementary carts will be needing replaced, by providing two classes this year with new laptops that will allow us more room to purchase for the elementary carts next year.

6.2. Consider and approve Senior Banners for Gym
Rationale:
For the past several years Senior banners were purchased and hung in the gym. There was a fund that had been donated and designated for this project that paid for the banners until the funds ran out. Last year the Franklin Teacher Association paid for the banners. At this time we are not sure if they will pay for the banners for this year and future years. The banners cost approximately $30.00 each senior student. Discussion: Do we continue to have senior banners? Should they be the same size and material or smaller? Who will pay for the banners? One idea is to have ESU create the banners out of laminated paper. Currently we have 22 Seniors in the 2016 graduating class. The cost of the 3 X 4 Banner will be the same as last year, $30.00 each. Total cost without shipping is $660.00

Attached is the PLC implementation schedule and the estimated budget to attend the national conference. Estimated budget for the conference is $14,182.00 for private rooms or $12,481.00 for sharing rooms.
