The school advisory team is made up of 16 people equally divided between parent and staff representatives. The team is functional and provides important input for the school improvement plan. Most of these funds were devoted to technology upgrades for the classrooms and instructional supplies. The media center has 5 computers with Internet access. Additional technology upgrades will be in place when the new Media Center is complete in the spring of 2001.
