III. Executive Director Updates
A.
Update for SY24-25 Launch
Enrollment update: 492 students enrolled, grew TK from 12-14 students, over enrolled in 1st grade, some spaces available in 2nd and 4th grade. One open position staff position in 2nd grade. All lower elementary teachers trained in Science of Reading.
IV. Finance
A.
Budget 24-25 Update
Some increasing in special education and lottery funding from the state, additional facilities rent cost, increased funding for local parcel taxes, and increased salaries and benefits for additional community liaison, art teacher, and ELOP (Extended Learning Partnership) staffing, which nets 308k in operating costs. Moved after school programming away from Boys and Girls Club and will provide those services onsite, which creates an increase in costs. MP is solvent with reserves despite the new changes.
