B.

Budget update

Still waiting to hear from CSGF and Character and Culture Grant.  Angie's contract has not been paid out.  Next year's budget looks good.  This year is still very tight; a short term loan may be needed.  Hailey has two claims to make by Jun 30 and the food service claim needs to be submitted.

C.

Nursing Services

CESA 6 grant through Bellin to provide nursing services for free.  Free for staff and students.  Nurse can send scripts to pharmacy.  Mental health/behavioral health is also available.  The grant is ending soon.  A special rate is available for next year; 9 month contract for $375/month ($3700 total).  It's cheaper than hiring a nurse and we have access every day.

A. Andersson made a motion to approve the Bellin health contract for $375 per month for up to 10 months.
L. Svatek seconded the motion.
The board VOTED unanimously to approve the motion.

V. Governance

A.

Board Structure / Calendar

CSGF meeting suggestions were related to Board structure, meeting frequency, support for getting school launched.  Parent reps could be added.  Committees for Finance or Curriculum would be possible options.  Perhaps adding prior 4k-8 Board members to committees or the Board.

 

Arthur to create a KTEC email address for Sheb.  Sheb can be head of our "enrollment" committee and work with parents who are willing to help and get involved.  Angie will talk with Sheb first.

 

Get interest on a fundraising committee.
