A Board Retreat is set for July 10th. 

• Gary reported on the finance meeting. There are not a lot of changes in overall funds. Fund balance of 16% and Days of Cash is 59. 
• One discrepancy is the difference in PEERS and PSRS retirement funds from the time TLS opened. Some employees were enrolled into the wrong system and TLS needs to work on this being rectified. TLS will receive funds back from PEERS due to over-payment and will owe PSRS for the past three years that TLS has been open.
• The preliminary draft of the 2025-26 budget is ready and will be shared with the entire board next week. At the next Finance & Facilities committee meeting, changes will be made. Then a final draft will be brought to the board for a vote at the June 24th board meeting. 
• Some Title Funds were lost this year, and they may be reinstated due to revised free-reduced lunch counts. Food for next year is budgeted for 1.5x higher because of the number of students, tariffs and a new partner vendor.
• Possibility of joining a 218 Agreement for the retirement system, but may take two years to implement. 
• An internet and summer cleaning company have both contacted TLS for unpaid invoices. Currently, there is little to no history of the services in our records. We have spoken to our legal council and will hold on any actions since there is a refusal to provide evidence or historical information from several years ago. 

• Aaron provided an update on the popcorn sales. TLS raised about $3,800 over three days. Discussion about potential incentives for staff and students to participate in the next one. 
   
• Several new events are coming up. Trivia Night is set for June 21st. Ms Gregory is asking for support in ticket sales, donations, baskets, and advertising on social media.  Held at Pagedale Community Center.

Charter Goal 1 - Internal ELA MAP Goals were shared and data from testing will be available in late summer. 

Charter Goals 2 and 4 - Reducing the number of students scoring 2+ years below grade level by 50% (iReady). The data show growth at all grade levels in both Reading and Math. TLS is on track to meet our 5-year charter goals in these areas:

Reading

• 1st Grade Reading Fall 23% to Spring  4%
• 2nd Grade Reading - Fall 40% - Spring 18%
• 3rd Grade Reading Fall 78% to Spring 49% 
• 4th Grade Reading Fall 43% to Spring 26%

Math

• 1st Grade Math Fall 26% to Spring 12%
• 2nd Grade Math Fall 50% to Spring 18th
• 3rd Grade Math Fall 68% to Spring 32%
• 4th Grade Math Fall 73% to Spring 12%

Charter Goal 3 - students will score in the 60th percentile in reading and math (NWEA)

Scores showed gains. We need to develop a more attainable goal this summer.

Charter Goal 5 - Keisha reported 

• Attendance for May is 87.5% and year-end was 88.7%
• Tardies were 195 for May. Suggests the need for incentives for attendance, including being on time. 
• Discipline Referrals were 43. Tiered work for next year around discipline is a priority. 

Charter Goal 7 - Positive School Culture and Charter Goal 8 - Student Retention are on track.

•  87% of TLS students have re-enrolled for FY25 as of now. (Goal: 85%) 
• Student enrollment remains at 216 and Staff vacancy are zero.

We did well. A bit of technical difficulty starting. 

Self-Assessment for Board ASAP
