IV. Actionable Items
A.
Review recently amended enrollment policy
Newly amended enrollment policy to include priority points to board member children has created an issue with the Colorado Charter Facilities Grant. This was a district recommendation as a part of our new open enrollment process. This is against federal rules to provide this "preferential treatment" and disallows us to get the grant.
Admin recommendation is to amend the enrollment policy to remove that board member children priority points.
Floor was open to discussion. No discussion.
B.
25/26 BOD Update
Community update and announcement will go out this week.
May 6th Business Board Meeting will likely serve as the transition meeting. New board members will be sworn in at this meeting and a vote will be made for the new executive positions with the new board members.
Currently the board strategy meeting is looking like it will be the July 27th date.

Other Business
Discussion surrounding April Board meeting dates. We will be bumping the dates to the 2nd and 4th meeting to allow for a good cadence between meetings, given that it is a 5 week month and we pushed back this week's meeting because of spring break.
