Local Control Funding Formula allocates school funding based on the number of impacted students (foster youth, English learners, low-income, special needs). Mission Prep has set goals for each special population in meeting ELA and math standards. Additionally, the Science of Reading training for all teachers and aides has begun in order to be ready for state implementation. Implementation of the New Teacher Project has been successful and focused on instructional rounds this year, there will be a Director of Teaching and Learning for the 2024-25 school year, the school is partnering with REACH to address mid-year teacher turnover.

Focus on foundational reading skills, grade level math, identifying professional needs (7 TA faculty going through REACH for credentialing). Community Engagement Initiative grant next year to better partner with families around school information and decision-making.

COLA (Cost of Living Adjustment) at 1.07% which impacts Local Control funding (Mission Prep will increase teacher salary by 5% rather than only 1.07%). Mission Prep was awarding the Community Schools Grant which clears the projected $330k deficit and now gives MP a funding surplus. Enrollment has been strong and the COLA increases ADA funding by $50 per student. General operation funding is $10M and there is a decline in revenue projections by about 5% due to the sunsetting of one-time COVID funding measures. MP will be carrying over $27k from this year to next.

Karla Gandiaga, Lucy Fuentes, and Andrea Bustamante will be leaving the Board.
