Dexter Davis provided and invocation.

Dr. Rodney Thompson read aloud the mission statement. 

Dr. Khalil Graham read aloud the vision statement.

• Summary of Key Points
  • Dr. Graham reviewed the roles and responsibilities with everyone on the committee. 
  • The Executive committee has acted like a Governance committee in the last year. Recommendation for this board is a mini representation of the main Board and can speak to the Board and for the Board.
  • The Executive committee has decision-making power and uses it sparingly. Ensuring that communication is a priority with other committees.
  • LSC could add a facilities ad hoc task force within the Executive committee.
  • Possibly invite Ken Lee to some Executive committee meetings to discuss future facilities needs.
  • The secretary will meet with Tyler Hamilton and Trevor Ivey about the minutes to approve or adjust as needed.
  • Dave Loadholt and Gantt Williams will be able to speak to the financial health of the school under the Treasurer's umbrella.
  • If the chair is not available for a committee meeting, the vice-chair can take the lead. The vice-chair would have a huge voice if we don’t have strong board members.
  • In July 2022, the goal is to complete a transition where the committees are running independently. Dr. Graham will continue to be a non-voting member and he will become an active participant and no longer facilitate.
  • Facilities task force overview: we need to forward plan. Budget planning: we must have a number of children who will be in the building. The better we know ahead of time for how much the school can hold, that will allow our budget to be more aligned. Community and brand awareness: the better and earlier we can do this, the better it is for our brand. It all has to be aligned with the original building, staff, and leadership.
  • The best option financially is Aldersgate and it looks nothing like School St. We need to plan strategically about how to communicate with our parents, tell our teams, and collaborate with church staff. 
  • LSC needs to put together a one-page document as to what we need to propose to Jim McCain for Lincoln.
  • We need a firm answer about where we will put the school. Critical 3-week deadline.
  • Cammy thinks that West End Community Association would be very supportive of LSC.
  • Every leader is filling out a monthly document to discuss their priority for the quarter. Next year, teachers and operations staff will start filling theirs out.
  • At mid-year, our Scholars are on track and on grade level in reading and math.
  • Dr. Graham reviewed all of our Scholars' academic goals.
  • Gantt has prioritized our financial systems and flows. Big things: Payroll. Accounts Payable. Budgeting. Forecasting. 
  • All p-card account codes have been updated through the month of March.
  • We’ve spent more on Leadership Development, SPED, and Misc. We have saved on transportation.
  • Our line of credit works as long as you pay it. It does not work like a credit card and must be paid down. It will be paid by the fiscal year. We have 100k that’s outstanding. We need to re-underwrite it.
  • Dr. Graham reviewed the salary schedules for SY 22-23.

There was no new business discussed.

• Final Action Items
  • Dr. Graham, Chairman Thompson, and Jim McCain will schedule facilities meeting the week of 5/2. Dr. Graham will follow up with Dexter Davis and Jimmy after the Executive committee meeting.
  • Dr. Graham to follow up with Dr. Trevor Ivey about a one-pager for Jim McCain.
• Board Recommendations
  • Chairman Thompson would like Dexter to take the lead on Lincoln (reach out to Jim McCain) which could be 2nd-8th grade. Need to have a proposal in hand. Clear membership on our board. We would need a lease structure that would allow LSC to be there long-term. Emphasizing to them the commitment we have to diversity and inclusion. 

No board directors commented during this time.
