Kim Elliot toured the board and visited one of our morning professional development groups. The board was very appreciative of the experience and look forward to seeing more of the school's activities at future meetings. Scott Evans mentioned that the staff noted their appreciation of all of the professional development opportunities the school affords them.

Ian Pumpian provided the board with the following information:

• The school has now implemented a "loan-forgiveness" plan for employees who receive tuition reimbursement. Once a degree/certiificate has been earned, tuition loans will be forgiven after three years of employee service.
• Legislation recently passed that postponed HSHMC's application for charter renewal by one year.
• To comply with new health standards, the school's Covid vaccination policy has been suspended until further direction from authorities.

Sheri Johnson shared the 2023-2024 updated course offerings list from Cuyamaca college. Janie Kramer mentioned her appreciation of all the sciences courses and a general appreciation of the number of course offerings available to our students each year.

A presentation for review of the draft 2023- 2024 LCAP was made by Sheri Johnson noting the following:

• HSHMC assembled a lead team who worked with all stakeholders to create an LCAP that represents the mission and vision of our school.
• In addition to a request for public comment, we have been engaged in outreach for, and received, input and comments from staff, students and parent groups. The feedback from all stakeholders has been used without dissent to construct and modify the current plan.
• All information and feedback gathered was shared with a consultant with expertise with the LCAP who has put this together for us in the required format.
• Must be adopted approved by the board by June 30, 2023.

Sheri Johnson asked the board to approve the Tabacco-Free Policy, noting that the school has applied for grant funds that support a tobacco-free school. 

Ian Pumpian requested that the board approve the current funding pass-through model used by our SELPA. This is a collaborative model to better serve the special education and related needs of schools within the SELPA.
