Principal Presentation

Joette:
-Enrollment at 182 and 65 are online which is a third of our students
-We will not have such a long period to give parents to choose online or in person for the next quarter, September 4th was much too long of a deadline from the start of school
-We are in compliance and will be fully tomorrow with all of our safety procedures after our Code Red
-Going forward we will make sure we will look at where we are and what service we are providing in the area we are in, start smaller and then build and get stronger

Anna:
-To increase enrollment to 250 students we have tried a lot, social media, post cards, magazines, billboards, radio, as much as we could and we decided to take a different approach
-We started getting reports on where the parents are looking for on Google and the search words they use so we want for our school to be advertised 
-There are a few projects underway where our team is working on promotions, Friday we will have a social media party and get some food trucks and the students will use their phones to promote their own school and purchase an Instagram filter 
-Another project is addresses to all Sandalwood high school students and target them through postcards

Joe:
-Use the email address list to target ads through Facebook, target podcasts to get an interview 

Vita:
-Biggest areas we will use will be Google and Facebook

B.

Teacher Salary Increase Allocation

-With the amount of money we received it was not enough to raise teacher salaries to $47,500, as the state proposed. 
-For high school base salary was 42,000 and we were able to raise it to 44,4000 and there are strict rules for the allocation
-80% for base salary and 20% for the rest of the qualified teachers and staff.
