Nati Hardin: MS ELA Teacher 

Would like to share some positive shout outs! Administration is incorporating scholar feedback much more than before. The staff is very appreciative. Gave several examples of how they are doing this. Lanny is working so hard on enrollment. Our new staff is very strong! Nati hopes we continue on with giving more voice & power to staff and community. All the changes can be overwhelming for staff. It could help if Board Members stop by and say hi and let folks know they are here for them.

Mike Dyal is requesting contracts that the finance committee needs to review. Please send contracts to Mike Dyal. He is still going to vote, but he will need to see those contracts. They were sent, but can be resent.

Lenny reviewed current enrollment numbers. Some of the ways he is connecting with community.

Chastity Catchings reviews the budget. What we have control over and what is a fixed expense.

We have enough cash on hand to cover our expenses. 

Gatres funding is tied to elementary enrollment. As long as numbers are in by October.

We budgeted incredibly conservative and will right size once we know our elementary enrollment numbers. From what we are seeing today we will likely get more money than in the budget currently.

Sept 8-P223 Count Date

Sept 15-goal to provide enrollment update

Sept 23-contingency planning if needed

October-Gates uses enrollment numbers to determine funding

October 15- Report out enrollment updates and how it impacts our budget

Cash flow-we need to ensure that we watch this very closely and ensure we are only spending what we already have.

October-do we need contingency planning?

December-look at forecasting for 2nd semester

Every quarter check our fundraising targets. Enrollment on track?

If not, how will we right size.

We need to be watching this closely!

Board is exploring different ways to save money. Looking at different providers. Some solid corporate leads that the board is pursuing.

Board needs to be involved in recruitment and fundraising.
