P.J. Hannon called the meeting to order and the February minutes were approved.
A funding request was submitted for J. Larry Newton Elementary for a full-time
ELL/Instructional Paraprofessional who will assist ELL/non-English-speaking students in the
classroom and the library. The request is for $8,000 to fund this position for the remainder of
the current school year and is to be paid out of 3-mill funds. In the original allocation for this
school year, funds were provided for 3 paraprofessional positions, but only 2 were hired until
now. This is a modified request for the previously unfilled position. Request for $8,000 was
approved. (Request attached)
Joe Kelly distributed and reviewed the guidelines for reserve funds and for funds carried over
from previous years, modified slightly after discussion in February. The guidelines were
approved by the commission members. (Guidelines attached)

outdoor nature center in the near future, and will be requesting funding for that project.
The next meeting of the FPSC will be on Wednesday, April 5th at 4:30 at J. Larry Newton
