Radical Scholars FY24 Proposal for MACS
Have been a partner with us so it would be beneficial to keep that partnership. Kolt is hoping to ask for a reduction in cost, and we will pay for materials and use CSP funds to cover the cost of about $30,000.
Question to ask: What percentage of the materials are consumables and what are reusable?
C.
CPF Tracker
Discussed and reviewed key components of the CPF that outline what we are legally bound to do as a school, our goals, and our academic model.
There is a possibility that this might change (depending on state standards change and other factors), but as of today, this is what we will follow.
Who on the staff will be tasked with getting us a list of students' home schools so we can compare data?
D.
LKES Trainings and Evaluators
Ashley and Justin will sign up to do the initial training.
E.
Determining next steps for academic committee
Since this committee was created when the board was operational we need to determine our role going forward as we transition to a governing board.
Ashley shared that we should keep the committee but meetings should be every other month for a shorter time. During these meetings, we will review student data.
Next tasks- review the calendar to adjust meeting dates.
Meeting dates: September 7th @ 7 pm
November 9th @ 7 pm
Kolt decided not to hire the additional paraprofessional until enrollment evens out. All other staff have been hired.
