NWEA student data shows continued improvement and 50% of students are meeting their growth goals in ELA and math. Measurements of classroom culture show that MP needs to work on student ownership and questioning of their learning. The school will address this with student peer-to-peer support, literacy engagement, the science fair, and the upcoming book fair. MP did not rehire the Director of Operations position in order to keep the budget balance, so the skills and service gap is being offset by utilizing the organization GLASS to address supply ordering and partnering with more Black and Brown community vendors. Lastly, the Director of Wellness has registered MP for the We Rise Challenge to encourage wellness activities for students and families.

Board Review and Vote of Agreement
Item tabled
The fund balance is about 25% of the budget, which is a positive. For the first interim fiscal report there was a projection of a loss, so adjustments were made to use the budget more efficiently for 2025-2026. We expect to break even. The governor's budget shows an increase in funding to increase TK services over 4 years and a learning recovery funding pot, which will reduce the fiscal pressure on Mission Prep moving forward.
