III. Information Section
A.
Organization Update
Executive Director Jason Watts presented an update on recent news. Scholarship Prep held an organization wide professional development with over 200 staff in attendance. He then shared a facilities update with new building projects. There are some unexpected delays at the campuses in South Bay and Santa Ana but these delays should be resolved within a week or two.
Board President Friedrichs asked if the issues with the buildings had to do with supply chain issues that could have been built into the project plan. Mr. Watts assured that it was an issue with wrong elevator doors ordered and a conflict in scheduling for re-inspection.
IV. Public Hearings
A.
Independent Study Policy (updated per AB 181) Public Hearing
Chief Academic Officer Taylor Ellis presented this piece which was a revision of Scholarship Prep's current Independent Study policy to comply with new state laws. She outlined the new procedures put in place including regular meetings with teachers among other things.
President Friedrichs asked why the short-term independent study policy was longer than the time period for the long term independent policy. Ms. Ellis shared that the school is implementing this long term independent study policy in line with requirements from the state as a response to COVID.
