to empower themselves and their communities.

Envisioned Future: 
We envision a future where all of our students are successful,
and their destinies are not determined by their demographics.
 
II. Consent Agenda
  A. Approve Minutes
    Approve minutes for Board Meeting on April 30, 2020
  B. AoA/AUSD Technology Memorandum of Understanding (MOU)
   
AUSD (after collaborating with AoA staff) is using Measure I funds for a new phone/bell and intercom system as well as to replace and upgrade AoA's wireless platform so that there is effective, campus-wide Internet coverage. We currently have gaps in our Internet coverage that impacts instruction and important schoolwide assessments.  While the hardware and installation is covered by the bond, the Academy is responsible for paying for ongoing maintenance and service fees. One of the main benefits of having AUSD manage the phone and wireless system is that AoA receives the benefit of lower service costs due to economies of scale. AoA would pay pro-rata fees as one of "17 schools" in the District rather than have to hire staff or consult out for those services.
