II. Discussion Items
A.
Civic Engagement Associates Update
A. Rubalcava, Chief External Officer (CXO), discussed the background and purpose of the Civic Engagement Program(C.E.P) that was launched through grants and is currently working with MSA-1, 3, 4 and 8. The purpose and intention of the C.E.P is to create a civically minded community to work in conjunction with each Associate in the team.
Each Civic Engagement Associate discussed their goal and update for each school that they are working with. Past events held and supported by the C.E.P help build a stronger community for the schools, bring in parents that were not familiar with Magnolia and continue to develop our parent leaders to help continue what has been established.

B.
MPS Recruitment Plans and Community Partnerships
A. Rubalcava, Chief External Officer (CXO), led the discussion. The Dean of Culture from MSA-1, 2, 3, 8, and Santa Ana communicated how they are recruiting and building community partnerships by showing the support in the following: growing attendance at charter school fairs, promoting and showcasing STEAM, building rapport with council members, reaching out to the local community for sponsorship, reaching new and current parents, partnering with Colleges, and being present during sports. The smaller schools are relying more on the home office for support in recruitment and community partnerships since they do not have a Dean of Culture.
C.
Home Visits Update for all Magnolia Science Academies
A. Rubalcava, Chief External Officer (CXO), led the discussion and explained the significance of Home Visits at Magnolia. Each Dean and Admin that were on the line disclosed how many home visits were done to date while updating the committee members on the Recruitment Plans and Community Partnerships.
