Leah Lange of Numbers 4 Nonprofits has prepared One City's April 2021 financial statements.

One City Treasurer and Finance Committee Chair, Torrey Jaeckle will present the statements and provide a review of our current financial performance. The Board will discuss and then vote to approve the financial statements. 

One City CEO will present budget priorities for the 2021-22 fiscal year, for discussion with members of the Board.

 

One City Schools received notice of very high marks in every area of the internal/peer review for our application; however, the competition was fierce and we did not make it through the second phase of the application process. The 25 plus member coalition is committed to continuing the initiative.  Members of the coalition met recently to discuss development of a "Plan B" with additional meetings scheduled throughout May and June.

Of the 24 positions needing to be filled for the 2021-22 school year, 16 have been filled, with 4 offers outstanding and are expected to be returned by May 24th. Interviews for the remaining positions are ongoing

We are gratified to share that even those who were not offered employment at One City have reached out to thank us for the interviewing experience and to state their support for One City. 

Two new members of the One City leadership team have been hired:

Judy McNeal has been hired to serve as the Sr. Administrative Manager with One City Schools. For the last two years, Judy has led her company, QB’s Magnetic Creations, a maker of magnetic jewelry, full-time.

Preliminary goals of the Capital Campaign and scope of the Committee's work have been developed. Scott Klug will Co-Chair the Committee and core members will meet in late May or in early June to flesh out the details of the plan. We will work with local and national champions and local and national partners and sponsors to ensure that our goals are achieved. Materials for use by members of the Committee are being developed by Cricket Design Works, the team that created our One City logo.

Phase II of the Campaign will focus largely on funding of an Athletic Center. Click here to view the schematic developed by JLA Architects.
