Principal's Report
T. Sumner informed the Board that we may not need to have another late January Board meeting after reviewing the paperwork from the Finance Committee. The paperwork from the bank for re-financing is complete.
On January 31st, we are hosting another event for families to introduce and talk about the Third Decade fundraising. Trustees are encouraged and invited to attend.
On February 9th, there is a DESE re-chartering visit (as a mid-charter check in). Between 3-6 Trustees are needed to be part of a focus group to meet with the DESE visitors.
