Joseph Weinstein-Carnes was listed as absent, but should not have been counted as attended.

James Jordan, instead of Abby Benedetto took and submitted the minutes.

No public comment.

The evaluation was moved to the next meeting, scheduled for December 4, 2019. 

Monthly ADA summary and Shots for School summary are both due this month. We should be up to date after those submissions. 

Districts can deny charters based on financial impact. 
County Boards retain authorization over schools they authorize.
The California Dashboard data will become a larger factor in reviewing and renewing the schools. David and Swati are gathering the data that is due November 1. 
 

Board on Track training needs to be scheduled as a Zoom meeting (preferably 30 minutes). We could be using more of its capabilities. Parren will send a Doodle poll to identify a time for the training. 

Karen Hayes is no longer available, but her husband Vincent Hayes has raised his hand. The other candidates, Bill Holsey and Christina Greenberg are still interested. 

The reading material on board fundraising is for the board to begin thinking about an event that will bring in funds and donors to support the school. There is a good story, but we need to determine the best way to present it and engage them. We need to determine who is the target audience and how do we make a compelling argument for their support. We will discuss ideas as part of our December meeting. 

Very robust meeting where they had just received the SBAC results. The next meeting they will do deeper dives into the data and recommend some strategies that the teachers can use for students who may be on the cusp of moving to the next band. 
For English Learner Progress on the California Dashboard, this year's test will be the baseline because the testing instrument changed.

A successor for our recruiter position has been identified. There will be a higher cost, but a good investment since enrollment is a key budget driver. 
Our budget projection is showing "break even" for this year, but attendance needs is a key driver for revenue. If our ADA drops below our budget assumption (94%), then we will need to make the appropriate adjustments. 

The board members discussed ideas for fundraising. One idea was thinking about the support that our Aurum gradates will need for high school and on to college. 

AB 1505 was reviewed. 
The state is no longer authorizing charters. The only charters will be granted at the district and county level. 
Teacher credentialing and the performance on the California Dashboard are going to become the key determinants for charter reauthorization.  
For the Notice of Concern from ACOE, all items have been resolved. David showed the Board members the Coaching Tracking Spreadsheet that they are using for teacher tracking. 
The school dashboard will be reformatted to mirror what is tracked in the California Dashboard.
For chronic absences, the staff is making home visits for those students.
