Minutes were circulated yesterday. Cecelia needed clarification on where the minutes reflect lateness of one board member. Remove remote attendee participants from attendance as they are not to be counted toward the quorum or allowed to vote on any matters remotely.

General update - we returned to remote learning. 136 students came back for 2nd quarter. Friday we pivoted back to remote instruction. Parent engagement session held yesterday, Monday 170 laptops and hotspots were given to family for students. Similar schedules are followed for lower and middle schools. Cleaning and tweaking remote program is underway with facility. Spending time with more breakout rooms. Small group instruction. We'll be remote from now to Dec 23rd. We're hoping to be back in building on January 4th. 9% threshold is the state's plan for an automatic closure. Attendance as of today was 82%. The average is about 92% for remote learning. In person is 97%. 

Since we reopened in August, we have consistently followed our plan and have been proactive about making small incremental improvements. The plan is fully operationalized. 

The board was updated on board recruiting activities to date, as reflected in the attached report. Progress is underway to identify and cultivate relationships with prospective trustee candidates. 

Enrollment is steady. PPE loan has gone through PPK review. Announcements coming through on Dec 18. Ready for submission. Little Bird benefits compensation, transition is underway.  Little Bird purchased by Trinet and goes away on 12/31/2020. Several options were explored for payroll benefits. It was decided to expand the relationship with Paylocity. Looking to save $100-150K this year by going with this option. We put together a group to provide all of our services. BSBNBCS is reaching a new level of maturity and enhancing our benefits package. 

Staff was notified in August of transition. There has been consistent engagement with staff to ensure that they remember and follow up on key dates related to the transition. We do "lunch and learns" with staff to secure feedback pertaining to student loan support, child care benefits, transportation, etc. BSNBCS remains very competitive relative to all of these benefits.. 

On January 14th there will be a semi-annual check in on school's annual budget.. All are invited to the Finance Committee's meeting..

Raised $850 Giving Tuesday. 

Engaged Classy platform. Setting up a demonstration. Focused on creating a scheme for fundraising and informing our donors in different forums. 

AmazonSmile is a great alternative way to raise money for the school for every purchase that is made through AmazonSmile.

Nick expressed is gratitude and thanks to the faculty and board for getting us through this year.
