Kylie recommended the Board sign a contract with Skye Strategies consulting firm to assist with overseeing the 5 year CSP Replication Grant from US Ed. Skye Strategies' fee for this service is $22,500 per year - paid with CSP grant funds. Kylie indicated this assistance was needed due to the scope of Logic Model Planning and Evaluation required through the grant. US Ed has only allocated Pataula Charter funds for 2 years of the grant at this time; Kylie recommends only signing a 2 year agreement with Skye Strategies. This firm was highly recommended by another school who received the CSP grant.

Linda Miller is recommending Valerie Poff for the paraprofessional position that became open at Spring Creek due to a staff member's resignation.

The Finance Committee and school administration would like to show their appreciation to staff for their hard work and dedication through this difficult time. The Committee is recommending the Board increase the Local Supplement for salaried employees to $2500. Incentive Leave money of $20,000 had already been allocated in the budget; this would replace that at a cost of only $60,000. PCA is still expected to have a surplus at the end of the year.

The PCA Athletic Boosters used their monies toward completing the fencing of the softball field at the PCA Athletic Complex. Through their "Fund the Fence" campaign, they have remaining funds of approximately $10,000 for the baseball fencing. The Finance Committee is requesting permission to allocate $60,000 toward completing the baseball field fencing. Seeing the finished product of our athletic complex will work towards expanding the public perception of our commitment to the goals and mission of PCA.

The Finance Committee and school administration would like to show their appreciation to staff for their hard work and dedication through this difficult time.

SCCA is still expected to have a surplus at the end of the year.
