Discussion of Goal #6: Student Leadership Development

• On April 7, the MCPSC's Innovation Exchange will offer TLS a Consultancy Protocol experience to help us refine next steps re the board's role in creating the conditions for innovation to ensure a systemic approach to student leadership development over the next six years.
• Check out Success Ready Network's Portrait of a Graduate:  By the time a child graduates, our students possess these characteristics 
• Build a Student Leadership Development work team to include staff (PE teachers, Keisha, Dean of Students), Board members (Shinita, Stephanie, and Becky), feedback from students, families.

• We are projecting at year's end $1.17 M, which represents 82 days of cash on hand and a 22% Fund Balance
• Current Gross Margin 10%
• Food service revenue is trailing food service expense (must monitor) 
• CSP will carry over FY27; once it's done, it will impact (weaken) our revenue.  Need to plan for this.  Add to F & F Agenda. 

No action items from this committee for the board this month.

Policy Review

• Drug free schools policy--Required that we get a certification of compliance. 
• Drug free workplace key points-- Check Staff Handbook re: what is communicated re expectations and follow up, such as advanced notice to drug test
• Wills Law (Epilepsy)--make sure that the students who have epilepsy have the correct data (IEP or 504 plan data) and that staff are appropriately trained.

Goal 3: iReady Achievement

End of Year - 45% met the ELA goal and 26% met the Math Goal

Goal 5: K and Gr 4 attendance has been lower; 3 students are responsible for 11 of the tardies (15 mins usually).  Considering incentivizing parents with gas cards.

Goal 6: Provide a table of referrals per month indicating the percent of students rather than the number of incidents.

Goal 8: Two pre-school feeders have supplied TLS with enrollees for K - 1.  Goal is to get to 700 students by AY 29.  Have a hold spot/waitlist system and use a lottery with wait list when slots open.

Meeting Reflection:

• We stayed focused
• We honored the need to be strategic (looking forward and intentional about calendar, meetings)
