COO Report
Enrollment process has already begun. This began on December 1st. In January we will start a robust Marketing campaign.
Certification:
- 80% of our staff is certified. The other 20% is covered under the 60-day provision that the CSDE allows the school to have.
- D. Zief asked where were we last year? L. Hubbard reports that with returning staff we are at 91%. This is mostly new staff that have been hired between August and this month. The state can take from 8-12 weeks so it may take some time to get these certifications.
Facilities:
- New facilities manager, Robert Litwin, has been doing a phenomenal job. He is very hands on, and he has gotten in to work.
Operations Highlights: contributions they've made so far this year and how it's impacted the school.
- Ryanne Davis- HR
- Calley Tinley- Ed Tech

CEO, J. Scalice, went over plans for presentations for next month from our school leadership.
Leadership will be in attendance in January 2025.
Today we will be looking at our data, disciplinary data, attendance and some of teacher survey data regarding coaching. This was an area that the state wanted to get further information from.
We will also go over brief but not impactful changes to our grant.
