Over the course of the last month, the school has held and participated in multiple events based around career readiness.  120 students were taken on numerous field trips in which they received hands on training for tools used in each respectful field.  Delta Sigma Theta Sorority came to the school to discuss with 3rd and 4th years students voting rights and the importance of voting in our elections.  Vertus also held its Hispanic Heritage Celebration, which included food, music, and fun and was covered by the local news station.  

Ms. Brisson reported on behalf of the Finance Committee and informed the Board that the school has not adjusted the budget based on the higher-than-expected student enrollment.  This would cause a positive adjustment to the budget going forward.  The annual Audit and Single Audit have both been completed by Mengal Metzger Barr and for the first time in school history, there were no material concerns and no advisory letter written.

The Board reviewed the renewal goals for the school and discussed the ongoing action items for Charter Renewal.

Enrollment remains steady with a few strong leads in the pipeline.  Transfer students continue to show interest in Vertus due to a variety of issues throughout the district.  Vertus is actively creating relationships with grade level charter schools to establish a feeder system for Vertus.

The Board entered Executive Session at 5:24 p.m.
