Ms. Vargas provided an update on marketing and enrollment.  Enrollment is presently at 488 students. Some families have declined that attended last year, and Ms. Vargas is sending them an exit survey to determine reasons to address them if possible.  Transportation has been one of the biggest issues.

Panels still haven't been raised; it will likely happen around the start of school.  The project manager for BCCG has resigned (David Dare), and they have filled the position.  The team will discuss in further detail at the committee's Thursday meeting with BCCG.
