Review current enrollment & discuss recruitment for next year
Logging into Epicenter to try to look for current stats on enrollment
We are thinking that having Francisco join us for this portion of the committee might be helpful re: recruitment.
B.
Parent and Student Surveys - schedule time for data review
The proposal is to do a data dive of the parent and student surveys as well as the student testing data on Wednesday, 1/30 from 5-7. We can meet at the school or a location more BART accessible if possible. I will send email notification of this to Kerry and David to see if that works for them.

Discuss Academic Achievement Tracking Schedule
We will wait for an update from David before moving forward with anything related to Academic Achievement tracking....
III. Other Business
A.
Items to Discuss in Future
Hoping to refine and clarify what the academic committee does this year:
- Are we still responsible for recruitment or should that be something that the board helps out with at events, but not is part of a committee's responsibility?
- Should the academic committee be more involved in tracking discipline and how that is related to academic achievement ?
- What about mental health and Special Ed - are students utilizing the current mental health services? Does it need to be increased or altered?
