The new school nurse, Amanda Peasley, introduced herself and shared her personal and professional background. She then shared a big picture of what she does on a daily basis and what some of her long term goals are for the position. Long term goal highlights include student individual health plans, Wellness Policy and Committee, partnership with CVCH for additional behavioral health services, establishing a health services webpage, partnering with staff and community on health-related curriculum, universal mental health screenings.

Amanda recommended to the board that they consider a Pediatrician as a future board member.

Jill provided a thorough update on progress regarding the opening of the high school, including:

• Staffing update: Gretchen and Sam whom will be the two core HS teachers recently completed their first professional development trainings with Seattle curriculum partner Educurious.
• The high school is still in need of a Spanish and Art teacher. Jobs are posted on the school's website.
• After Karen Rutherford's positive meeting with the new WVC President Harrison, Pinnacles submitted an initial Letter of Intent outlining our reasons for housing our high school programs at the college; negotiations continue regarding a lease agreement detailing the instructional space we plan to lease for next year. The plan is to still pursue a hybrid day where are 9th graders spend the morning at Pinnacles and afternoons at WVC.
• There is a possibility that our first high school class of 9th graders will be a smaller class of 40-50 students, still collecting surveys from existing 8th graders to get final count from current families.
• Following Jill's recent trip to New Orleans for a New Schools Venture Fund conference, Pinnacles was invited by the XQ Pilot project to be part of a national pilot focusing on implementing project-based Math instruction. We will be using the same math curriculum that we've been utilizing in middle school

Following the High School update, discussion ensued about adopting an amended "3120P: Pinnacles Prep Enrollment Procedure" focused on formalizing the addition of a second admissions lottery in May each year. The board voted unanimously (Tod Treat made Motion, Flora seconded Motion) to adopt this amended Procedure, pending approval from the Washington State Charter School Commission. The originally proposed second lottery that was to take place on May 20th will be postponed until the school hears back regarding the Commission's decision.

The annual financial data points of public and private revenue and expenses are tracking positively from the Financial Dashboard. Revenue associated with current enrollment counts are down slightly at 93.6% of annual projection. The one data point where concern was expressed was the 30 Days cash threshold. The school has dipped slightly below ($9k) the 30 day level, so spending and cash flow activities are being adjusted and monitored as corrective actions.

Representing the Governance committee Rick Wray mentioned that 1 or 2 current board seats will become available at the end of July and that the board is currently looking for replacement members. In order to spread the word about board member opportunities Sara Rolfs from the Governance Committee recently shared a post in ParentSquare encouraging all Pinnacles families to nominate new board member prospects.

As part of the Academic Excellence committee Wray also shared a link to the School Leader survey from Board on Track that gave all board members an opportunity to assess Jill Fineis' performance this school year. Data from this survey will be combined with data from a survey the staff and faculty are also taking in May. Results and recommendations will be shared by the Academic Excellence committee at either the June or July board meeting.

This item of the agenda was tabled and will be rescheduled for the June meeting.
