Shino read statement. 

Latrina can lead the meetings. Meeting will all be in person. 

Board received our report and requests well. 

Shino hasn't done all the updates that are needed yet. Needs to be done. 

Enrollment Policy Discussion: 

- Can we add wording about it being a temporary update? Or say something about only accepting 12 graders (to the lottery) in extenuating circumstances that the student's school is closing (without an option, not a merge). 

--- we need to have more detail. At least this detail. 

- Should we potentially allow students who move to be accepted into a 12 grade lottery? There is some debate and disagreement among the committee about whether we should allow this or not. 

--- When students are moving from a school that was similar... this wouldn't necessarily apply to students who weren't in a similar school. It should be students who were already arts focused, not just kids who don't want to go elsewhere. 

- We can't think of any other extenuating circumstances that we can think of. 

- Brent joined at 6:30pm. Brent clarified that we aren't going to be allowed for special circumstances for 12th graders. 

--- It would have to be open to anyone in the state, with preference to folks in our region. 

- Does the Gov Committee want to request that this change go back to regular after a certain amount of time? 

--- How is enrollment? Because we do want to stay at our 400 enrollment goal. Brent reports that enrollment is much stronger this year than past years. We currently have wait lists for 8th and 9th grade. We used to have wait lists for every grade. The current 7th grade took 3 lotteries, but the incoming 7th grade class seemed stronger (we had twice as many applicants this year as last year). 

--- Do we have data on student retention and why people leave or not accept an offer? We don't have good data. It seems like maybe sometimes students don't accept because transportation is a barrier. Some kids want to get out of their district for middle school, but return for high school. We have more sibling applications this year than previous years which means people are likely happy. 

--- We all feel comfortable letting Brent decide when, if needed, to remove this allowance for accepting 12 grade students into the lottery. 

Parking Policy: 

- The parking policy and off-campus privileges policies have been decoupled. 

- The reason is just to make it clear that consequences will be serious. 

- There are currently no parking passes, and we need to move toward that. 

- Everyone from the gov committee is alright with adding this. 

We'll wait to schedule the next meeting until we get our new members, we want to be sure they can attend.
