Modesto highlighted that there are 3 things to tackle today : Monthly management report update, Strategic plan & Core values documents to review prior to retreat,  

Management update:

Key School Data:

Student recruitment - on track for 6th and 7th, progressing 8-10th, off track 11th.

FY24 budget will be presented at retreat in June for approval.    

Strategic Plan:

New SP will build upon the existing strengths and improve overall programs:

Phase 1 - started in fall (sept-nov) Surveyed, staff , students families and pulled out key themes and met in focus groups   

Phase 2 - Nov -Dec. MM synthesized details he repeatedly heard.  Major themes:  1) Parents wanted post secondary transition plan. 2) Students aAchievement - making gains but room for growth 3) Teacher Retention - need to recruit, develop and retain "bomb" teachers.   MM also heard there was a need to revamp old LACS values.

Phase 3 - Dec-April : Senior leadership team created goals and strategies and shared with stakeholders .  

Phase 4 - April -September - Present final draft to stakeholders 

Phase 5 - Report out on progress on a quarter basis

MM shared the drafted SP Vision Statement . the drafted SP "Themes" and specific goals to achieve these themes .

MM opened it up to the group for clarifying questions - asking whats is missing - what feels right? 

LACS Values: 

MM created the values prior to LACS opening doors.  LACS is in a much difference place so needed to be updated.  Stakeholders went to all day summit to draft updated values - (students, community leaders, staff).  New values are meant to capture who LACS is and who LACS wants to be as a school for all involved with LACS (students, staff, board members etc): 

Updated values : 

Inclusive community, excellence in all efforts, our people matter, sprinkle joy, purse your best self, leave a legacy 

NB - updated group 

AAC did not meet this past month as it was very close to last Board meeting.

All encouraging! 

SL : 

April Financials -

All looks good.  Line of credit paid off!  Talked about FY24 budget and will discuss at next meeting in more details before next meeting.  

Kari -

1.1 million raised! 460k foundation requests outstanding.  

Not holding Spring event - hard time of year and thus will refocus on smaller one on one tours . Kari asked group to think of their contacts to get into the school for tour. 

Still need new DC members.  Need Board to help with suggestions to join this committee.  Please reach out if you have suggestions!
