Melisa Lemire, Board Chair, directed the attention of the Committee to the Compliance Update. Jordan Lopez, Chief Operating Officer, provided general school updates. Lopez noted the school is currently slightly over-enrolled, accommodating about 78 students instead of the initially projected 75, with many participating in Dual enrollment programs. Due to conservative budgeting practices, Lopez assured the committee that the school’s financial situation remains strong. She shared that the recent events at the school, including a successful "Back to School" night, focused on dual enrollment requirements, attendance, and academic achievement. Lopez also recapped the Welcome Back Week celebration, which featured food trucks and a voter registration table, highlighting the school’s commitment to civic engagement.

Lopez noted that communication has been sent to families informing them that City on a Hill will not be offering summer school this year; instead, students who do not pass will need to attend summer school through Boston Public Schools. Overall, she expressed enthusiasm for the school year and assured the committee that the instructional staff would maintain clear communication to help students stay on track for graduation.

Brooke Fincke, Board Member, commended the school for its impressive progress, particularly praising the dual enrollment model. She expressed satisfaction in witnessing the school’s achievements during its final year, especially given the challenges posed by the closure.
