Mrs. Yates, Miss Summers, Mrs. Crose, and Mrs. Papaioannou shared comments in support of our school and administration. They believe in the methodology and are pleased with the educational direction our school is headed.

Nothing to report at this time.

Next year's budget is tight, but does not contemplate any fundraising (which we will have). A big cost is curriculum, but it can be purchased this year with our positive funds. The gym floor is failing and needs replaced. Dru Damico (Building Hope) is aware of it. Teton Stage Lines will be offering a GPS tracker on each bus for a monthly fee. 

Nothing to report at this time.

C. Hunter was not present to give a report.

The bus routes may not be as difficult as anticipated. Teton Stage Lines is considering purchasing a larger bus, which would allow for four routes rather than five.

Board member openings (if any) will be made public next week. Nominations for candidates will occur at the June board meeting. The board will elect the new board member(s) at the annual meeting in July.

This was approved at the last board meeting.

C. Gilbert had a conference call with Terry Ryan (Bluum). The J.A. and Kathryn Albertson Family Foundation does not want this to be a competitive process; however, they do want to support a school with strong leadership that has a large student body to serve the needs of the Idaho Falls area. It would open in 2020. A survey will go out to parents to gauge interest in a high school and to look for contacts in STEM and education related fields. C.Gilbert, C. Hatch, and C. Ogden will help with researching and writing the RFP. H. Bowen will help identify possible building locations.

In order to meet the required instructional hours for the MYP, we will be changing from trimesters to semesters next year.

Our building will not be able to accommodate our projected growth after year 5. We may need to amend our Charter to cap enrollment at 588 instead of 648. C. Gilbert will look at the numbers. 

Leslie Hartley reported that our partnership with Arugula Deli has been positive. She has been working with Marcel to make the necessary changes to qualify for the National School Lunch Program (NSLP). It is a rigorous process. There is still some requirements that need met. Lunch will cost $3.65 next year with a choice of bottled water or milk. 

The amount of unexcused absences requiring a teacher review needs adjusted from four (4) to six (6) to reflect the change from trimesters to semesters. Additionally, unexcused absences will now be calculated per class period for MYP students.
