III. ITEMS SCHEDULED FOR INFORMATION & POTENTIAL ACTION

A. Financial Report

Theresa Thompson delivered the Financial Report that included January highlights and forecasted scenarios including potential extension of Explore lease. February cash flow forecast is low due to Explore not paying rent. The board members asked several questions that were answered by Theresa.

B. Explore Lease Update

Matt Brown provided an update to the situation with Explore that included the amount owed to TEACH and a plan for recovering funds moving forward. Matt provided the board with data on rent payments to inform the discussion for the agenda item C.

Matt explained that this was an informational update only and that it was likely that the Board will need a Special Meeting to consider a revised lease prior to the next board meeting.

C. CAM Receivables Sale

Matt Brown described the CAM Receivable Sale as a tool that Explore is currently considering, or in the alternative, as a consideration for TEACH. Attorney John Lemmo explained that the Receivable Sale is a viable option for Explore, which would be the preferred option. The board asked clarification questions that were answered by both Matt Brown and John Lemmo. Matt explained that if Explore can catch up with rent payments, TEACH could consider reducing the future rent payments and reducing the amount of space that Explore currently occupies.

D. Update on Student Recruitment

Luis Ramirez gave the update on student recruitment. 94 families have expressed interest. School staff follow-up with families that express interest with a phone call or email. The school is using lawn signs to advertise, post cards will be sent out to families in the immediate area and the social media campaign is ramping up. School staff will be on a radio station and local television show in March. The board asked about retention of current students and Luis responded that he will report on that at the next board meeting.

E. Update on Board Recruitment and Board Member Standing

Beth Bulgeron updated the board on recruitment efforts. TEACH is currently partnering with Opportunity 180 to recruit board members from new volunteer matching and recruitment sites. In addition, the board discussed considering the removal of a board member who is not responding to communication and has not been in attendance for some time. This will be up for consideration at a future meeting.

F. Approval of the Better 4 You Meals Contract

D. Horn made a motion to Approve the Amended Better 4 You Meals Contract pending non-material edits.

C. Igeleke seconded the motion.

The board discussed the issue and board member Igeleke requested to make edits to the contract before its execution.

The board VOTED to approve the motion.
