Mr. Davis began the open session discussion reporting on some of the recent accomplishments, accolades, and improvements taking place at Vacaville Christian Schools. He further shared his vision and focus for the next several quarters.

Various members of the audience had positive statements to share relative to the school and new leadership. Others reported on the various happenings such as Boosters, Music/Conservancy Program, etc. Other members had questions as to getting involved in programs and leadership rolls, specifically such as faculty as non-voting members of the Board of Directors, or other service avenues.

Several questions were brought forward by a parent relative to:

1. Compensation of Board Members.
2. Compensation of our Past Head of School.
3. An apparent raise received by the past Head of School in '13-'14 of over 33%.

These questions were answered by several different board members as follows:

1. There existed a policy that board members had received a tuition assistance in years past. This policy was eliminated in August of 2014. Currently 2 members continue to receive this as they were grandfathered during their tenure.
2. The total compensation package of our past Head of School reflected in the institutions 990's include all benefits; including salary, health care, housing, automobile mileage, tuition discounts, etc.
3. The perceived raise in '13-'14 was not a raise but relating to a personnel issue that we can not disclose.

Following answering these questions several other parents commented on their appreciation on the openness and candor expressed in the willingness of the leadership to answering questions.
