Enrollment Report
Discussion:
Current SPS enrollment is 3,720 students which is 97 students down from last years Oct. 1 counts. One reason our numbers are down is that Lone Star had a smaller 2017-18 8th Grade class than usual. Another reason is charter schools. They are the new thing to try. Our District is looking at ways to get our numbers back up and get people excited to be apart of Sapulpa Public Schools.

Superintendent Comments
Discussion:
Superintendent Rob Armstrong had a lot of great things to share but for the sake of time, narrowed it down to about seven! The first day of school was a success until the down pour of rain came, causing our buses grief. We learned that day that we need a better way to communicate to parents where their students exact location is during any situation.
Teachers and Staff have received their raises with this last pay. We will continue to work together and push for more funding for Education. Other money that came our way this week was a rebate check for $174,000 from OG&E. Looking forward to the savings over the next few years from our new LED lighting. We also received a check from TTCU for $3,500 from their School Pride Program. Mr. Armstrong announced that Joe Slitzker would be leaving SPS on Friday for a new position. Wished him well and the process to find a replacement has begun. Finally, next Tuesday SPS District is excited to participate in the State Teacher of the Year presentation as our own Freedom Kg Teacher, Natalie Fielden, is a finalist. We are working to Facebook Live the ceremony so all can be apart. |
