Ms. Robertson reminded the Board about graduation date and how to ensure appropriate attire is on hand, for members who will be participating.  Separately she advised that she will be meeting with a potential new trustee in the coming weeks based on a recommendation received from the Director of Development.  The Board continues to recruit for a parent member.  

The Accountability Committee did not meet in April due to school holiday schedule.  The principal's report was distributed and reviewed by the Board.  

The Finance Committee was not able to calendar an April meeting due to school vacation and schedule conflicts.  It will be meeting later in the week but Ms. Moree advised the Board the committee had reviewed the March financial dashboard and financial statements prior to this full Board meeting.  The dashboard and statements continue to reflect and trend as expected.  Budget development is underway and the Committee continues to work with the leadership team to ensure we will be on target to present a draft budget for Board consideration and review in early June, prior to the annual meeting vote.

Separately, Ms. Moree and Mr. Smith continue to work with external parties related to the building financing.  A draft timeline has been prepared by M&T with an anticipated closure on the bond financing in early June.  The Albany CRC has finalized its process and tax exempt bond credits have been authorized by the CRC.
