H. Becker gave a presentation on the current enrollment for IMSA North and West. As of June 16, 2017 North and West had 33 open seats. North had 637 enrolled and West has 547 enrolled. K. Millard shared that a good portion of our new enrollments come in the month of July.   Currently there are about 50% of the 8th grade students coming over from West to the high school. R. Ernst asked what we are doing to keep the first time enrollments. H. Becker shared that Mr. Secen is sending out automated calls weekly and invites to the IMSA back to school nights.  West is doing similar activities, such as Kindergarten Round-ups and working with day care centers.

H. Becker said that word of mouth has been our best method of attracting new students.  B. Valentine-Watts suggested that we do things like ice cream socials, and other activities to keep them interested.  T. Miller suggested using the students, they are our best billboards.

H. Becker also shared the Enrollment Team Bonus Plan as a financial incentive for the committee to get the numbers in.  K. Millard stated that we only receive $7,000 approximately for each student, The bonus would be $25,000 divided between the enrollment team members if they reach the ADM goals in September.  H. Dulgeroglu said that this money was built into the salary section of the budget.  

K. Millard talked about the need for adding a board member with  K - 12 academic experience.  D. Pierson and T. Miller both have some people to recommend, they will send the information to Mrs. Brown.  We need to add this member by June 30, 2017, this is a deadline given by OEI.

K. Millard talked about he Superintendent Evaluation, we are still awaiting the submission from two members.  Once they are received we will send the results to the members. 

K. Millard reminded everyone that this was his last meeting and that we would have a new Board Chair starting in July. The following positions have been approved:

David Coats - Board Chair
Lauren Box - Academic Excellence Committee Chair
Bulent Guler - Finance Committee Chair
Ron Ernst - Governance Committee Chair

We will look at the committee members at the July meeting.

M. Dunn shared NWEA Data and that the ISTEP results were in, however, they were embargoed and he could not share the results at this time.

He then says he hoped to be able to share nice results for South.

L. Box said she thought we need to do better at drilling to what we are doing in the classrooms to make it better.  

M. Arslan shared that this would be Mr. Akkaya's last board meeting.  He will be joining Horizon Science Academy in Columbus as the Middle School Principal.

H. Dulgeroglu went over the vouchers and the budget for IMSA North - there are no major expense items. The Office of the Superintendent line items is 177% and that is because the Regional office staff are paid out of North budget then they amount is split between the three school and West and South will reimburse a portion of that amount. He also mentioned that there is no balance for the rent as we pay it in advance.
 

H. Dulgeroglu went over the vouchers and the budget for IMSA North - there are no major expense items.  They want to close the school with all liabilities paid. They will pay all liabilities except the loan received from the Management. Any remaining money will be used to pay this loan.

H. Dulgeroglu went over the vouchers and the budget for IMSA West- The only major expense was for the printing.  The rent amount for the year is low because when we bought the building we had a one year grace period before we had to start paying back the loan.

H. Dulgeroglu went over the budget for 600 students for IMSA North.  This was just to show what the budget would look like if we did not get the 665 students.

Lauren Box presented Dr. Millard with a plaque from IMSA Schools and Mr. Arslan presented a plaque from Concept Schools for his dedicated service as Board Chair from 2007 - 2017.

M. Arslan presented Mr. Ozdemir with a plaque from IMSA Schools for his dedicated service as a board member from 2013 - 2017.
