Discussion around all of the events that took place since the last meeting.  We have seen an increase in parent attendance, which has been great (e.g., Mother's Day and Signing Day, etc.). Discussed other options for possible visits to Vertus for the next school year.  Names are directed to Levi Bennett.

There is a lot of confusion about whether or not we will be opening a middle school.  We are tracking the numbers of inquiries.  There are some glitches with the sharing of information, so Levy is working through this issue.  

We had a discussion about the information shared through Board OnTrack.  We had an influx of donations that were not expected, so that was good news.  Overall, budget are in good shape and we are not projecting to go over budget. 

We also had a discussion about how Vertus currently goes about apply for/writing grants be better understand that process. 

Also discussed that cash flow and investments are strong.  We have also received our Per Pupil reimbursement from the RCSD another districts. 

We handed out information to all attendees regarding the 2026-27 proposed budget.   Information was prepared to account for the Middle School with the upstanding that a decision has not been finalized.  We also had a robust discussion around curriculum and the need for consultant work to help us increase overall performance. 

The co-chairs of the fundraising committee led a discussion about the gala.  We still need a chair for this upcoming years gala.  We also discussed that the June 3rd event still needs RSVP.
