The Finance Committee is requesting approval for the Athletic Field change order for parking and erosion control discussed at the September 6, 2022 called meeting. The board approved additional funding for gravel extension on the driveway around the complex due to erosion and safety reasons.

IV. Academic Excellence Committee Report
A.
Milestones Data Overview
Kylie gave a brief overview of the Milestones Data:
- PCA should meet on the CPF Academic based on the projected Content Mastery Score. PCA out-performed the local area schools in most areas and exhibited Growth in almost every area.
- SCCA exhibited growth in some areas and out-performed local area schools in about half of the areas. It is not yet determined if SCCA will meet on the CPF Academic section based on prokected Content Mastery scores, since they are so close to the local districts. We are hopeful that the addition of "Student Growth Percentiles" and "Value-Add Model" measures to the CPF will ensure that SCCA will also meet.
B.
MAP Fall Benchmark Data Overview
Kylie gave a brief overview of Fall Benchmark Data. At this point PCA is already projected to score higher than last year. SCCA is projected to perform about the same as last year. This data is based on students not yet having any instruction this year, since the benchmarks were taken the first week of school.
Kylie is requesting the following amendments to the Agenda:
Add Item II E. SCCA Resignation - Vote
