Executive session was exited at 6:22 PM.

Kylie presented the school re-entry plan which includes four different scenarios for school reentry for the upcoming school year.  These scenarios were created by a district-wide task force made up of administrators and teachers using guidance from the GA DOE and teacher/parent input from surveys.  We will also survey teachers and parents again after the re-entry scenario plans are shared.  The scenario which will be used is dependent on guidance provided by the local Departments of Health on the current level of community spread.  Since our schools serve multiple counties, the scenario for re-entry will be based on the county with the highest level of community spread.  We have been informed that the DPH will provide weekly reports on community spread by county.  Since spread levels are changing rapidly, it was decided that it would be best to wait until after the surveys and closer to the start date to vote on the scenario which we will use to begin the school year.  Therefore, the Board will vote on the opening scenario plan to be used at the July meeting.

Kylie presented Stephanie Collier as a teacher for hire for the 2020-2021 school year.

Kylie informed the board that we had not hired for two approved certified positions: Special Education Teacher and Intervention Teacher.  She is recommending that, in light of possible reentry scenarios, these positions be changed to paraprofessional positions for the 2020-2021 school year.

Kylie presented Wesley Chapman and Lacey Phillips as certified teacher hires for the upcoming school year.

Kylie presented Sabrina Grant as a Paraprofessional for hire for the 2020-2021 school year.

Cheryl informed the board that the state has released preliminary figures and that instead of the originally anticipated 14% cut to the state budget, there is only going to be an 11% cut to the state budget for fiscal year 2021. This will result in approximately a million dollar cut to revenues between both schools for the next year.  Cheryl informed the board that she is working with a consultant, Afton Partners, from Charter School Growth Fund to create a five year plan to spread the money that was saved in FY 2020.

Cheryl informed the board that the purchase of the daycare building is being delayed. After submitting closing costs for the purchase but before closing could be finalized, the City of Edison determined that the bid procedure had not been followed and so the sale was put on hold. PCA, Inc. now has to submit another sealed bid by June 30, 2020 in order to pursue the purchase of this building.

Cheryl requested the board to approve the transition of the Office Clerk position at SCCA from a full time to part time position at this time.  

Cheryl requested this motion to be tabled as there were no bids submitted at this time for the septic tank work.

Kylie presented the meeting calendar for the next fiscal year for board meetings.  At this time, Rhonda Collins informed the board the date of July 21, 2020 was on a Tuesday and would need to be changed to July 20, 2020 to be on the third Monday.

Kylie presented the Board Success Plan from Board on Track based on the assessments board members completed in February 2020.  This success plan includes guidance on needing strategic board member recruitment, committee work which was the biggest gap in the assessments, and fundraising which is not a high priority at this time but will need to be in the future.  With the presentation of this success plan, it is recommended that every board member join a committee.

Tiffany informed the board that as of the end of June, the following board members terms are expiring: Tiffany Bruner, Tom Smith, Ronisa Hanks, and Ronnie Lane.  Tiffany and Ronnie agreed to serve another 2 years on the board and Ronisa stated she was undecided but would let board members know something by the end of the week if she choose to stay.  Tom Smith does not wish to renew for another term and Melissa Tabb resigned effective at the end of this month.

Tiffany informed board members that the following positions were up for reelection: Chair, currently filled by Tiffany Bruner, Vice-Chair, currently filled by Melissa Tabb, Secretary, currently filled by Jennifer Sanders, and Treasurer, currently filled by Rhonda Collins.  Tiffany, Jennifer, and Rhonda all agreed to continue serving in their current positions.

Melissa Tabb nominated Erin Lenz to take over as Vice-Chair since she is resigning her position as a board member.

Cheryl presented an updated Meal Charge policy for SCCA.  With the SCCA school nutrition program currently using a kitchen location off site to prepare food and since they are no longer using an outside vendor to supply meals to students, it was recommended the lunch prices be dropped from $3.50 to $3.00 per student and the breakfast charge to be dropped from $2.50 to $2.00 per student.

Melissa Tabb nominated Erin Lenz to be the chair of the Governance Committee and Kylie is charging this committee to plan a board retreat to further the success of the board.

David Hendrickson volunteered to serve on the Finance Committee and Jennifer Sanders volunteered to serve on the Governance Committee.
