Jene Ray called Meeting to Order.

Read by Jene Ray to start our time.

No Public comments to be made.

The first week of academics is coming to completion.  Students are requesting more time together.   
How are the Staff - This is incredibly hard in COVID - taxing and exhausting.  They are building culture and level of vulnerability. Shauna and Melissa try to support staff every way they can - cupcakes and pizza.  We hired the right people - spending hours and hours. Start everyday in a circle as a staff to build community. 
Implementing Core Values: Students' voices and presence heard.  Examples: Student's Painting Projects - each student contributed to hang the halls.  Camera on or off on zoom - student and staff made decisions together. Created a norm together. 
New Learning: Constitution Day Yesterday - Trevor organized an all school meeting - 3 articles.  Many students did not know what the constitution was. Great discussion after seeing the picture of the signing of the constitution.  
Learning platform: Echo class in place, PD every Wednesday.  Curriculum is going well - pace is too fast. Difficult to differentiate in zoom platform.  Re-assess the pace in the curriculum during Covid. 
 

Shared Lumen Video: Students sharing their stories - Unbelievable! Board Requested to send the link for sharing.
Upcoming Grants: 

• Received 1.3 million Charter School Program grant!!! 

• Applying for COVID money through Charter - cover all extra supports during Covid. 

• Providence Grant apply - research part of model 
• Send any Grant opportunities to Shauna 

Early Learning: Working to get all the pieces in place aside from construction. Hired Lead teachers, will be hiring assistants in late October- send names to contact if you have any. 

Amy Shared the numbers from the night and the projections from auction items, ticket sales, and fund a need. Overall the event was a success, and Lumen's name was back in the community minds. Thank you cards going out int he next couple weeks.

• Feedback from the board about the event:
• If it is a Virtual event need to be on a weeknight
• How do we reach donors that would not be interested in Zoom meeting.
• Choice - unable to attend then here is another option 
• Facebook difficulties
• In person would be ideal but this was best case scenario.
• Gift Bags - great personal touch
• Add to bidding page - go to live event 

Project Inching along, but is on track.  Covid and permitting slow downs. Maybe finished by mid November. 

• Facility Tour Video Link- sent in email
• Opened up the road
