Next Jill shared her final Performance Review goals that she has been working on with the Academic Excellence committee. These SMART goals will be implemented throughout the school year and Karen Rutherford from the AE Committee will check in with her quarterly to discuss progress. 

Jill also shared that a new math teacher was recently hired and that an offer has been made to a prospective part time nurse. If the nurse says yes, the school will be fully staffed for the year. If a state grant comes through the school also hopes to add a school counselor though.

179 students have been invited to start the year, which puts us at full enrollment. We're still waiting on some final enrollment paperwork from some families.

A proposed Enrollment Policy was discuss but tabled until next meeting because of some vague language that Xaxira identified.

Due to limited time, discussion of the final school schedule for 22/23 was also tabled until next meeting. 

T. McGee reviews Finance reports including Balance Sheet, Profit and Loss and Budget Vs. Actual. July is not a busy month therefore there is little change all metrics continue to be favorable with only one month left in the current fiscal year. The school is projected to meet the required 30-day cash on hand goal, but the margin will be small.

Tyler also presented the results of the Finance Committee's auditing firm research. After presenting the results the board voted to accept the committee's recommendation of hiring a local Wenatchee firm, Cordell Near, as the school's first choice to conduct our first mandatory audit this fall examining our first year of operation.

R. Wray shares a governance update and proposed having next year's annual board retreat on October 1st. This date worked for everyone and Rick said he'd send out a calendar invite to confirm. 

R. Wray shared a draft Employment Agreement for Jill Fineis for the 22/23 school year. The proposed Agreement represented an approximate 9% raise in salary and benefits over the previous year. 

Due to a shortage of agenda time the Development committee did not present and was asked to bring their report and Development Plan to share at the September board meeting instead.

R. Wray shares the facility task force report. 

One portable containing two classrooms have been placed and hope to receive a certificate of occupancy by Wednesday of next week so they'll be ready for the first day of the year. The school plans to use them for either one or two years.

The facility team also had their first pre-construction team in August with the general contractor and supporting contractors that will be starting the middle school remodel being funded by the City of Wenatchee's Capital Grant. Most of the work is slated to happen next summer.

A couple of back to school events coming up in the next two weeks were shared and board members were encouraged to attend.
