Fully hired at ACE and the Network. Still have a few positions open at CCP, the main focus is a Kindergarten teacher.
Enrollment is almost to budget at CCP but still short at ACE, especially kindergarten at ACE.
Academic goals- ILEARN goals have shifted from an absolute number to a growth goal from the previous year's cohort
