1. Renewal Application submitted, 

2. First day of school began the week of August 21st, 2023, 

3. Busing logistics and operation remains a challenge arranging between private the DOE busing system.  We are able to get reimbursement for all busing, 

4. enrollment went up with new students from migrant families (from 3 migrant shelters; 2 of which are in Sunset Park).  Cary is looking in to adding multi-linguo-learner staffing resource in headcount.  Cary will also be watching the enrollment capacity by grade level as well.  Because migrant shelter service may not be stable so staffing resources will be further discussed with the finance committee on staffing and other resource adjustments. Katie suggested we look into fundraising support from the board to help support adding migrant student and family needs.  Katie suggested building the community perhaps through other families from Brooklyn Rise for the migrant family; Cary will be hosting family meetings and is brainstorming ideas for additional support such as opening the building as resource for the weekend.

5. We had some last minute staffing updates, including the business manager starting in August

Brooklyn RISE now has a NYSED Liaison Paolo Giovine, who has told us he is on top of getting this approval.

Renewal application submitted on time.  We are planning to have a training for the board members with our renewal consultant when we have a firmer date on interview date.  Cary will host a training on school frame work for September meeting.

Board reviewed board meeting dates in September, October, November, December, and January to make sure they don't conflict with holidays and are happening after the finance committee.
