Mr. Bell's MicroEconomy class explained the mission of LowcoBricks, a fundraising effort designed around customized bricks to be installed in the LMS courtyard/pathways. Their goal is to raise $30,000 by selling customized bricks ranging in price from $25-150 via online and in-person orders. The online ordering link will eventually be added to the main LMS web page and bricks will be offered for sale through the end of the year.

The parent ed night showcasing the LMS math progression was successful (largest turnout to date) and the next is scheduled for March 13. There have been 200+ applications for the next school year, with outreach efforts held at the farmer's market and TJ Maxx. The charter amendments discussed in November/December 2017 have been submitted and we're waiting for a response.

No meeting for December/January. There is a need for one more board member to contribute to this committee

No committee meetings in December/January. The governance committee will meet in early February to work out changes to the conflict of interest policy and draft a change to the charter that would allow for new board members to be elected in the spring (rather than in the fall). If an additional charter amendment cannot be added to the amendments submitted in January, the election cycle will continue as defined in the charter and the election amendment will be submitted in January 2019.

The vote to approve monthly financials was tabled so that the Finance Committee could review reports from December and January. December, January, and February financials will be voted on at the February 22 meeting.

The fundraising committee is working on development - seeking out new funding sources and business connections - and continues preparations for the RTR fundraiser in April. Donors will be invited to the school to cultivate more personal relationships that might not always be purely funding-related, but that might include mentorships, etc. Considering hosting a Chamber of Commerce "business for breakfast" event as well as weekly community tours (separate from parent tours). Amy tasked the board with bringing a sponsor and/or vendor to the RTR event.

Playground installation project has restarted due to issues with contractor. New bids or estimates required before installation can proceed.

The gym project timeline and estimates have not changed. Waiting for input from BJWSA regarding potential issues with sewer line.

No public comments.

Shift in enrollment was discussed briefly and will be discussed more in February (considering adjusting class sizes). Also considering an income-based sliding scale for pre-K fees.

As reported during Facilities Committee meeting, there are no substantial changes to the gym project overall. Waiting on input from BJWSA regarding potential issues with sewer line.

This discussion was tabled due to time constraints.
