CEO, J. Scalice, sent an email to all board members with a google doc that outlines the CEO evaluation process for this year. There are 6 areas with a 3 point scale as well as a self- evaluation process. This can be discussed in an executive session for the July meeting. 

J. Scalice would like to thank all board members for attending and sending best wishes for all graduates during MS and HS graduation this year.

During our July board meeting there will be an update on graduation percentages, final data on attendence, standard based assessment for CT, information on college acceptances and acceptance rates.

The school is in the process of holding our 3rd annual MLL summer camp in partnership with the Connecticut Institute for Refugees and Immigrants.  We have about 30 students this year and we also have students in our MLL program that are also supporting and assisting the camp which helps them grow their skills.

We also have summer school for seniors who only need about 1 course to complete graduation and about 40 MS students that need additional assistance in Math and ELA.

J. Scalice states that we are in the process of applying for grant Nita M. Lowey which is a grant specifically geared in credit recovery, student enrichment, MLL enrichment and funding for after school programs. We are looking to reignite the after school program for MLL work with non-attending school members. These are typically younger siblings of our students. We anticipate at least 20 students. 

Our MLL department also proposed a Saturday Academy for parents to help with English proficiency. We are looking at using our Rosetta Stone programs that we have. 

We also got Commissioners Network! This will be covered in more detail at the Board Retreat.

COO, Latoya Hubbard, went over COO report.

To date we have received 287 applications and we are full in grades 8-12. We have 28 seats still open in 6th grade and 16 open seats in 7th grade. 

We have sent out a second post card targeting middle school as well as calling and leaving messages to families.

In regards to the National School Lunch Program. We have been approved by the CT State Dept of Education that we are able to receive free school lunches for the summer. This is an option we explored this summer because we have a smaller population of students that will be at the school this summer. This saves us about $5,700 for the months of July and August. 

Thank you to the board for attending and supporting our graduating classes. Congratulations to the Class of 2024. 

B. Carlson asked about bussing for HS. L. Hubbard states we will need about 6-7 buses because our HS is bigger than our MS which has 5 buses.
