Mr. Tucker gave an overview of the strategic meeting, the process, and goals that the Board can support in connection with CASA's 2025 vision. 

Ms. Clayton gave a presentation on CASA's mission, recapping the history of the school and goals moving forward.  A Pre-K through 8th grade school will provide a continuum for CASA scholars in their formative years and set them up for success beyond CASA.  A welcoming facility and loving, long-term teachers are valuable and important to CASA.  Slow growth (i.e. one grade level per year) of CASA will allow us to do things right.  The CASA 2025 vision is that CASA will serve Pre-K through 8th grade by 2025. 

Ms. Clayton gave an overview of the strategic goals of the 2019-2020 school year, which focused on (1) facilities and finance objectives and (2) marketing and fundraising objectives; and the progress towards those goals. 

Mr. Tucker led a discussion regarding the Board's opportunities to support CASA over the next 5 years.  

The Board took a 10 minute break. 

The Board discussed the ideas from the brainstorm and narrowed it down to the top 4 priorities. The Board discussed having each committee create/organize key performance indicators for that committee and utilize those KPIs in updates to the Board. The Board discussed creative fundraising and increasing fundraising goals and how to meet those goals. 

The Board split up into two groups to discuss:  (1) Pre-K program and (2) more locations. 

The Board reconvened to discuss what was brainstormed in the breakout groups regarding adding a pre-k program and more locations.   

Mr. Tucker made closing comments summarizing the meeting. Next steps: committees to address priorities in their respective committees; eventually put together new time line for new committees around pre-k program and new locations; continue discussions regarding the same in board meetings and put together milestones and KPIs.
