Communicated transition and growth plan to the staff on January 4.  It was well received.  Tacey will be meeting with staff to discuss career paths over the next couple of months.  Working on budget for upcoming year/finalizing staffing plan, hopeful to present to the board next month.  As of last Friday, posts for staff recruiting have been made. 
Discussion about enrollment, we are currently under-enrolled.  Our biggest obstacle is transiency of the students we serve.  January 26th is the 100th day of school.

Discussion about areas of focus:  (1) retaining and recruiting of staff (Mark; to add to the culture committee); (2) student enrollment and marketing (Crystal); (3) long term growth plan (Tacey to focus on the vision of CASA and chair the committee; chairs of each committee to meet to discuss and support Tacey's vision; development of growth committee; identify types of people and resources for the committee; creating a timeline for when things need to happen (i.e. facility decisions need to take place before middle of next year); start in a small group before bringing to the full board; quarterly meetings).   Updates will come at the February meeting to make sure we are moving forward.
