M.Snyder reported the the Governance committee met last week and the focus was on reports from the principals on enrollment and academic and staffing updates, and a presentation from Mutual of America. 

NYS results have been released and the school had extremely strong showing over most grades as compared to state averages. The Girls' school has 322 scholars (as of today) with a few enrollments pending.

Karen McLean reported 237 (as of last week) scholars in Power School. As of today, K. McLean reported 239 scholars. We heard from Paul Stallings about the proposal for 3 and 4 year olds in the building for a K readiness program on 1 Saturday per month. The academic update focused on the state results on which we can only compare this year to state averages (as of this report). There is a potential resignation in K at the Boys' school for varied personal reasons. There is an increase in ELL population in Kindergarten and other grades that the school is working to support. The ELL population has doubled over the past year. K. McLean is reading out to local colleges to see who may need an internship/clinical learning during ELL education.
