Agenda
- Staff Retention Update
- Currently, we are looking at a retention rate of 97.5% (as measured by the % of contracts returned vs those offered)
- We will likely hire 1-2 staff members across the EC and MC for the next academic year.
- Compliance Report
- We remain in compliance with our charter.
- The EC is below goal for school climate given limitations in discipline reporting; however, discipline rates remain below goal as compared to the district.
