Handbooks
No major updates. Typically just date updates and changing "high school" to school. Head Rush will be used for middle and high school; Skyward will be used for 4k - 5th. Items highlighted in yellow are specific to high school and will be moved to a section for high school topics. Driving/parking section will become its own document. Adding wording to driving/parking related to reckless driving on church property will result in a call from the church to the police.

Enrollment
There are about 320 students registered in Skyward with pre k registered as 0.6 of a student. We expect to be close to the 353 goal. We still have spots in 4k, 3, 5 and high school. Open house was very busy (again).
B.
Budget
Payment letter received with amount of $12,369 per student.
C.
Bond Investment
First Tryon can manage the bond funds during construction so we can earn money on the $11m during construction. It will be invested in a secured investment with a guaranteed return. First Tryon's proposal is to manage for 12 months for free.
D.
Fee Processing
Rev Track (Vanco) could be used for credit card processing vs our current use of Square. Rev Track's fee is $359 per year. It would be used to process payments for lunches, field trips, banquets, etc. The processing fee is about 1% higher than Square but it would eliminate the need for Lily (staff) to process the payments. Families could process the payment through Skyward and the fees can be passed along to the payer.
Music position is still open. Kindergarten and Middle School are hot spots for student needs.
