Anders Lindgren to share Enrollment update

103 total confirmed students

5 additional new applicants

SchoolOps heard nationally approximately 15% attrition on average.  WIHS is in good spot- will be roughly 10% attrition, but will continue to enroll students through November.

Much of it was with CSP funding, but has developed consistent community recognition, backfilling is complete, and use of the SchoolOps Playbook.

More diversity than prior years.

Board must approve budget tonight to stay in compliance.  Two additional documents added in the past 24 hours and shared with the Board. Documents seems standard- one is document for board signature, the other is per WA state to pass an extension for the 23-24 budget.

Discussion:

Patrick- question, budget was for 97 students.  What will happen if we pass the budget but have more students?  

Katie- Wait until projections at the end of the year, then can get an extension to make changes. 

D.Walker presented that WIHS had begun their bi-weekly meetings with the Commission, and the school's plan for beginning of the year attendance and student engagement.   J.Johnson stated a reminder that WIHS is currently in compliance.  

J.Johnson asked about WIHS CAP documentation shared on the Box document file- Because it is managed by the Commission, WIHS may want to clarify and streamline what is due and what our obligations are.
