Behavior Summer Work
Hailey working on handbook with what worked last year. Ambassadors volunteering 25 hours to help with the plan. Met with student ambassadors on June 16th. Working with Dooley on videos. What makes us different and what makes them want to be at KTEC. Working on the "why" with the students. Really great feedback. Two groups for fun stuff and another for culture. Reviewed code of conduct. Handbook and code of conduct contract are being reviewed for alignment.
Students will be employees through CESA for their work as ambassadors.
Dooley. Looking at ROI with Dooley. July 15 to Aug 15 last year was the biggest search time for schools. The pictures and videos will be used for the enrollment campaign.
Set up concrete procedures for behavior for the first day of school.

Partner Update
June 12th Angie met with Festo in TN to see some of the best labs in a high school and another school that Festo thinks are good labs but not a center of excellence that they want for KTEC. We shared our curriculum with Festo. Explained that many modules would be better suited for middle school and discussed what is needed for high school.

Interviews in process.
Contracted services potentially for C3 class.
Special Ed applicant is promising and moving forward with CESA 6.

Budget 2023
Budget was tight. We owe some money to CESA 6 but we have several claims that need to be paid out to KTEC yet. Short term borrowing is not unusual in the summer for many school districts. We may need to do that but we could break even.
