We are facing both significant uncertainty about the amount and timing of state funding as well as a precipitous decline in the stock market caused by COVID-19 (globally down 25-30%). The changes in the stock market have impacted the ability of the foundations that support our work to fully fund us in the short- term and over 40% of our revenue comes from these sources. The loan will assist us during this challenging period so that we can maintain staffing in service of our students, nearly all of them low-income and of color. Our authorizer supports accessing these funds to protect programs.
B.
Internet Hotspots for Students
Jessica Laughlin made a motion to approve the expenditure for internet hotspots for students without access.
Layla Naranjo seconded the motion.
Board asked questions about distribution of hotspots.
The board VOTED to approve the motion.
