Facilities Update - 3/24/26 1. Safety & Emergency We are still waiting to complete our annual fire inspection with our local fire marshal. Our front gate on the playground leading into the front lawn collapsed during recess on 3/24/26. No one was hurt, thankfully. We have caution-taped the area off and alerted the staff to be extra vigilant with their students during recess. We are working to access, and plan to repair in-house if we don’t run into any larger underlying issues. We believe this will be the least expensive and fastest way to complete this. 2. Acoustic Panels - HS Community Hub Space Still pending. I believe we are waiting to complete this project and hope to add it in the budget for July 1. 3. Warranty Items - New Construction There are still some pending items. CMC is still working to remedy the remaining issues. 4. Gym Floor - Warranty for Striping and Additional Needed Covering for Safety The gym floor painting and restriping has been scheduled for the week of Spring Break. 5. Other Events - Bookfair Bookfair is this week! We have great volunteers helping us again, and the kids are very excited!

Report Attached

Presented by M. Thompson

Would like to form an Academic Excellence Committee, he would be willing to chair the committee, would need a note taker for minutes. Would like to have parents, teachers, and board members on the committee. 

There was a discussion about the committee and if maybe a focus group would be the way to go first in regard to the middle school program.

There were some questions about the committee's role and goals. If in the way it was being discussed it would be an overstep of the Boards Job. 

There were reminders that any issues should be following the chain of reporting, the guides, then the director, and then the Board if needed. 

A. Chavarria asked S. Fox to come up with Focus Group Questions. Asked M. Thompson to come up with who he would like the Focus Group to be comprised of ex: parents, teachers, students. 

Conclusion as of this meeting is that an outside unbiased person would be selected to ask questions that have been come up with over a 4-day period. A Sign-Up Genius will be created for times to interview with the unbiased person. There will be a Google Form for middle and High School students to fill out with their experience in the middle school program.

Presented by G. Alexander

Conclusion as of this meeting is to move the meeting to the Fourth Thursday of the month, starting at 4:30pm.
