T. Rude commented on the benefits of the OEI (Office of Education Innovation) reports. They provide a "report card" for the schools and let us know where to improve.  This allows school leadership to state how they will meet goals.  
C. Park shared it would be helpful if there was a more succinct way of viewing the report metrics, similar to a report card.
The Board signed the 17-18 assurances document.

H. Okerson shared she is closing out the financial year with BPI.  She is also preparing for the initial 18-19 audit meeting. Since we are considered low risk, the auditors will test less grant dollars.  H. Okerson also shared she and N. Khan Clark are working to record financial processes.  B. Richardson shared preparations are underway for TURN, and Paramount currently has two billboards visible in the neighborhood.  N.
