Sheri Johnson and Dominique Smith shared school opening activities and enrollment information. 

Copy of the engagement letter from our auditors, Eide Bailly, was provided to the board.

Ian Pumpian updated the board:

1) on the use of SDSUF facilities at 4283 El Cajon Blvd for HSHMC's independent study program. This space, which both the SDUSD and HSHMC Boards had previously approved for this use was not used during COVID. Dr Pumpian informed the board he renewed the lease for 2022-23 school year.  

2) that the school has entered multiple contracts with B&B Construction for building and outside school improvement projects. The largest of the contracts are for parking lot improvements related to security and program improvements resulting from the California Education Trust Grant.

Presented and discussed.

The  School Safety plan was discussed at great length. Dominque Smith presented the school safety plan to the Board and discussed the process for its update that correlated with recommendations and requirements from CDE. Board members provided feedback on, and asked questions about active shooter plans and protocols. Members were referred to pages of the plan that focused on those plans and protocols. Dr. Smith walked them through those procedures with specific attention to how facility safety and technology upgrades and staff training were integrated plans for meeting locations, communications and staff assignments that would be enacted during a threat incident. The Board appreciated the discussion and there was no request to take approval of the plan off the consent agenda. However, the board did request that language be added specifically to include Federal Bureau of Investigation and U.S. Department of Homeland Security recommendations in an active shooter situation to “Run", “Hide", "Fight.” Staff confirmed that language would be added.

All actions items were presented and discussed as part of the consent agenda.
