A.
Academic
Baionne led a discussion of academic data including Map scores from the winter. Further coaching will be available to students. 40-50 students are in person with the remainder online where attendance is more challenged. The hybrid model is meant to help families have flexibility, but with parents heading back to work, students are now less accountable so there will be an effort to get more scholars back in person
B.
Enrollment
Baionne gave an update on enrollment (162 students). RVLA is working on re-enrollment (42) and recruitment (82 applicants, 122 interested parties for elementary school)
C.
Human Capital
