Goals
The short and long term goals of the organization are continued to be discussed. A long term goal being to grow academic excellence. The goal is reliant on enrollment to support the ideal staffing structure being decided by the school leaders.
The board is looking ahead to when CARES funding is phasing out and being able to continue to support the academic program.
The Governance Committee provided standard updates on enrollment on academic assessment data and staffing. The other item is a continued focus on understanding and setting goals for enrollment that will support the desired instructional model. There was an announcement of a new Director of Enrollment working with both schools.
