Director's Report
K. Morgan would like to officially thank C. Pena for her service on the board.
Family STEAM Night was a great success and very well attended. PEEC happened for 3-8th grade, the kids had wonderful time. The middle school dance was a success. All students received their free T-shirts, they look wonderful, incorporating student art. Yesterday two of the classes were tested for vision and hearing at school.
The tulip sales fundraised $900. Student council Pie the People raised over $600.
4013b retirement plan will start for staff in 2024.
Recently the staff were able to sign up for AirMedCare for a reduced cost through our CPR/First Aid provider.
Staff development day was on 11/1, and it was very effective to have all the staff together in a meeting, and many other projects were worked on.
Teachers/staff evaluations are coming soon, as well as open enrollment for benefits.
Phase 1 of the building project is almost ready to go out to bid. A surprise inspection happened recently, and went well, with just a few suggestions for improvements.
Our school safety plan needs to be reviewed and updated soon, on an annual basis.
K. Morgan and N. Shoptaw attended a conference in Anaheim last week, it was very informative and helpful to network with folks from other charter schools.
K. Morgan was able to talk to the charter school lawyers at the conference and found out that the board does not need to do roll-call votes. unless we are having a virtual meeting.
