- Ms. Toomer shared that the enrollment projection for the 25/26 school year is about 794 students. This is a decrease from previous years. Woodland’s projected enrollment has decreased every year since FY22. Woodland currently has 43 K-5 teachers. Woodland is projected to have 31 teachers K- 5 next school year. This incudes an increase in SEC IRR teacher to 10. 8- IRR teachers, 2- Autism Program teachers, and 2- MOID Program teachers. Woodland gains 2.20 for TAG teachers, 5 ESOL teachers, and an addition PK class. Woodland loses its Title 1 status (52% to under 40%) due to FCS redistricting which impacts the FY 26 budget. Woodland will lose about $214,000 in funding due to the redistricting. Woodland can no longer purchase a Registrar or an additional Instructional Para as the previous years. Woodland will maintain the purchases of a 3-5 School Improvement Coach- Literacy and a K-5 School Improvement Coach- Math to support the students and teachers.

- Event Details:
- Annual Budget Approval: FY26 Budget development begins on February 10th and will conclude on February 28th (Elementary Schools) and March 7th (Middle & High Schools). SGCs should schedule their February and March meetings prior to their budget closure date to ensure the council has time to discuss and approve FY26 fiscal allocations.
- *Charter Dollars: This year, schools have received $46,391 in Charter Dollars to help meet their strategic goals through local innovative solutions. These funds should be used for non-personnel purchases such as supplies, registrations, communications, etc. When purchasing personnel, schools are advised to use other funding sources allowable for positions. If Charter Dollars are requested for personnel, the expenditure will require approval from the Zone Superintendent, SGC, and Executive Director of Governance and Strategy. Additionally, any materials purchased to support literacy instruction must align with GaDOE literacy requirements. Each Charter Dollar expenditure requires an SGC vote for approval, the completion of the Charter Dollar Expenditure Form, and is subject to the same district guidelines that govern school cost center budgets. All Charter Dollars must be spent in the year they are received to support our current student population. We encourage SGCs to schedule discussions early in the year to plan for these expenditures, ensuring all purchases are made before end-of-year spending deadlines. See our Charter Dollar Matrix for examples of FCS-supported expenditures.

Ms. Sapp is currently in that position and is assigned to K-2 grade levels. There are several positions that are purchased through the school’s budget, 3-5 literacy coach (Ms. Neal), K-5 Math coach (Ms. Widis), Science teacher (Ms. Sackellares), and a registrar. Charter Dollars are separate from the schools budget. Ms. Toomer and Ms. Jones meet weekly to review current budget allocations.

- Goal: Decrease office referrals by 15%
- March through May referrals typically increase. Seeing positive results from restorative practices and having a check-in system.
- Strengthen Employee Engagement: Staff Attendance
- Goal: Decrease staff absences by 20% each month
- This goal is currently hard to maintain. Woodland’s data shows a greater number of staff members with perfect attendance than absences last month. The data reflects more on the length of staff absences than the number of staff that are absent. Woodland has experiences lots of extreme circumstances during this time with staff attendance. Student attendance decreased during this time because of our local weather conditions.
