Early this year we surveyd parents and today we want to give the results.

Donica Johnson gives overview of the 3 devices Wesley is considering:

All board members were given a folder to show comparsions of vendors.

Handouts from each company and power point with survey results were presented.

Demo Day was March 27th,  parents , staff and board members were invited to participate.

10 parents

33 staff members

1 Board member

3 Devices Considered:

• Evole: # of Stars 4.55  pin points theart , very satified because this is used in hospitals.
• Garrett #2.09 stars :  Negative responses,   did not like closed feel. 
• Opengate: more negative than postive, sales representation talked badly about other products.  Seems like Opengate could slow  kids  down entering school.

Board Member ask,  what happens if you find something on a student.  SRO will address situation and  administrator is also involved.  Protacol is also in APS handbook.  

Another positive for Evole, Evole will also collect data.

Lottery:  There was a demand from parents to  see school after lottery results.   Donica Johnson added  one more tour.  Tour was the largest  for Wesley,  60+  attended. We hope this willl increase our enrollment.  Parents gave  Wesley very postivie feedback.   

Board member ask do we feel positive uptick ? Very  hard to predict but Wesley is trending in the right direction.

Kindergarten acceptances are in the 80s , we want to be at 88. Board Members gives credit  to Donica and team for efforts for enrollment.

Interviews went well and more information come.
