III. Academic Achievement
A.
Quick progress update (as applicable)
There are two assessments that remain for the remainder of the year. The final assessment to reach academic goals will be administered in May. The IA in May will be the culmination of all skills students have been assessed on throughout the year.
The state exam for 3rd graders will occur in April. HOS is very intentional about identifying math skills to be taught to students that will assist them in feeling more prepared and successful for the exam.
A discussion was held about the conversion of application goals and current application numbers. Clarification was given about the application process, application closing timeline, and enrollment crisis happening across the city.
IV. Finance
A.
Review Financial Dashboard (any updates from end of January?)

Lease Challenge
HOS shared a table outlining yearly lease negotiations in alignment with per-pupil funding. Coleman asked for feedback from the board in order to present accurate information during negotiations.
Currently, there are prospective Board Members that are currently visiting committee meetings. Nancy Olisma encouraged Board members to tap into networks to continue to grow the Board.
