Call the Meeting to Order

A. Welcher called a meeting of the Executive Committee of State Charter Schools Foundation of Georgia to order on Wednesday Sep 13, 2023 at 10:31 AM.

II. Action Items

A.

Approve GEER II Subgrant

D. Head made a motion to Award a partial Planning Subgrant of $31,500 to DuBois Integrity Academy to support the implementation of the Strategic Plan developed as a part of the Replication and Expansion Cohort Program.
C. Sears seconded the motion.

The Georgia Strategic Charter School Growth Initiative partners (SCSF, SCSC, GCSA) recommend awarding a Planning Subgrant to DuBois Integrity Academy as follows:

 

• Award a partial Planning Subgrant of $31,500 to DuBois Integrity Academy to support the implementation of the Strategic Plan developed as a part of the Replication and Expansion Cohort Program.
 

Background: DuBois Integrity Academy was originally awarded a Planning Subgrant of $50,000. Conditions within the school changed, and the school relinquished the subgrant. Since that time, conditions have changed further and now the school is able to pursue the goals outlined in the strategic plan. DIA has presented a budget and a plan to expend all funds fully by September 30, 2023.
 

This award shall be contingent upon approval of a budget amendment request for the GEER II grant (currently under review). The SCSF has requested to reallocate remaining funds in the Personnel, Travel, and Supply categories to Subgrants (Other category).

The committee VOTED unanimously to approve the motion.
