School Accountability Committee (SAC)
The School Accountability Committee (SAC) plays a vital role in engaging parents and community members in the planning and evaluation of the school's instructional program and quality improvement processes. The SAC provides recommendations regarding the school’s Performance, Improvement, Priority Improvement, or Turnaround plan and meets at least quarterly to review the implementation of these plans and other progress related to the school's accreditation contract with the Board of Education. Final decision-making authority rests with the principal or the individual or group receiving the SAC's recommendations, such as the Superintendent, District Accountability Committee (DAC), or Board of Education.

● The fall fundraiser wrapped up last month and after minimal fees from the
company, Franktown was able to bring in approximately $38,000. These funds
will be used to replace the basketball hoops on the playground and make them
more accessible for students of all ages.
● PTO has sent out a survey asking staff their feedback on the new fundraiser this
year, and have received great feedback. They are working on compiling the data.
● The Scholastic Book Fair was held before Fall Break, during conferences and
Franktown’s PTO sold $11,743 in books, meaning that the Franktown Library will
receive $2833 to use towards upgrades to the Library.
● PTO will be hosting a family dance on 11/13. The Dance will have a Glow Party
theme and will be a family dance.
● Parent/Teacher conference dinners were funded by PTO through monetary
donations from the Franktown Elementary community. Staff received dinner from
Jersey Mikes and Fuzzy’s Tacos.
● The last event of the semester will be the annual Holiday Shoppe event.
Wrapping Day will be held on 12/12. The event will be held 12/15 - 12/18 with all
items being under $10. PTO feels great about the items they purchased at the
end of last year and feels that families will be very happy with the items this year.
Emails will go out asking for volunteers for wrapping day as well as Holiday
Shoppe closer to the event.

● If ballot items are passed this upcoming election, the focus at Franktown
Elementary school will be enhancing safety & security inside and outside of the
building. This will include new cameras which will provide more clear video and
potentially 360 degree camera angles in some areas.
● Other areas of improvement will be to the magnetic readers on ALL exterior
doors, new intercom systems for the school, continuing to update tech devices,
and updating the counters and sinks in all bathrooms.
● Updates to school and BOND project updates.
Principal’s Report:
● Staffing/Hiring: At this point Franktown is fully staffed having filled all EA4
positions.
● Parking Lot Update: The feedback regarding the new parking lot/lane painting
has received mostly positive feedback along with having Ms. Shellie being placed
near the bus loop to help with directing traffic.
● Bus Riders: Those in attendance shared concerns with having their children ride
the bus. Most of these concerns stemmed from those riding the bus in the more
rural areas. Those concerns seemed to be that in the past bus drivers have
gotten lost, the length of time students are on the bus, and the distance of their
home from the bus stop.
● 5th grade students will be taking the COGAT(Cognitive Abilities Test) in
November of this year and the 2nd grade students will be taking the test in
February. Chandra Baca will update following the results of these tests.
● October Count: We have not received the official count number, but as of today
our number is roughly 338 students. Our estimated number for the year was 332
students so we are in great shape.
● This month the goal within the AVID program has been to focus on WICOR,
increasing collaboration, explaining their thinking process, and being more
productive in a group setting.
● All classrooms have been set up with new interactive promethean boards, the art
classroom has a new tv that Ms. Murphy will use to give examples of tasks, and
the Library has received a new 86 inch tv to be used for presentations.

BUSINESS OF THE MEETING
DAC Report
Click Here for recent DAC meeting minutes
● CMAS test scores have improved overall throughout the district. The greatest
area of growth across the district is “growth.”
● High Schools are seeing a steady rise in the number of students who are opting
out of CMAS testing.
● Overall federal funding can impact schools who do not have an average of 85%
of the student population taking the exams. There was mention of a new federal
mandate coming down the pipeline.
● It was clarified that participation percentage will impact funding, but the actual
scores will not.
● The DAC held a special UIC meeting on 8/28/25

● This year, the fall fundraiser, Raise Craze, will be the main fundraiser for the
school year. PTO acknowledges that change can be hard for families, but feels
that they have worked hard to communicate and engage the community as well
as pivot in ways to bring excitement to the school.
● As of this morning, donations are at almost 32k, and since they do not have the
previous company taking such a large percentage of the funds, they anticipate
raising more money than the previous year after expenses.
● The money raised in this fundraiser will go towards getting new basketball hoops
and nets. The hoops will be adjustable and will be easier for younger kids to play with.
PTO Report (Continued):
● The book fair is scheduled for setup on October 3rd, with the book fair being
scheduled for October 6-9.
● Conference Dinners will be provided for staff on October 2nd and October 7th.
Staff will collect funds from families and have dinner catered on those 2 nights.
● The upcoming family event will be a school dance on November 13. At this time,
the “theme” of the dance has not been decided.

Administration Report (Continued):
● UIP- Universal Improvement Plan is done every 2 years. The data comes from
CMAS. This cycle, we were looking for growth in math median as well as those in
a lower socioeconomic status. Math saw an increase; however, those considered to have
a lower socioeconomic status had numbers too low to compile data.
● Franktown has high participation rates for CMAS testing.
