The Executive Director shared:

Learning has increased overall but proficiency is lower. We are 30 points high than last year. The ACT test scores increased slightly. The ACT Aspire is looking very promising. According to scores sophomores will struggle but freshman will be 17 points higher. Overall our goals are conservative.

Cynthia Daniels asked what question that was missed? We are not sure as the info received was for an overall score not by each question. Benchmark did not predict this.

Student services needs have increased since the pandemic. Safety plans from 2021-22 were at 4 and in 2022-23 jumped up to 104. The services have almost double from previous years.

Class of 2020 have met the state goal 60% of students earning a degree. Students during Covid surpassed the state goals. With the help of Milani she has assisted our goal of getting students to go to college. As a result we have increased our enrollment cap from 1200-1950. 

Becky Jones shared: 

Proficiency points increased by 2% but our goal was 10%. Celebration and end of year surveys were reviewed. We learned that coaching was relevant to exceed our goal. A small core team keeps returning and now we have two core teams. 14 teachers answered "Neutral" to the question of returning. We need to work on staff connectiveness. Ice breakers really helped to get teachers familiar with each other. Staff was happy and got along with instructional coaches this year. 

Cynthia Daniels asked if teachers that answered neutral were in the same grade and shared the same lunches. Becky responded with some teams had issues this year but have been moved and/or not retuning to solve the issue.

Jennifer Lane shared: 

Student and teachers have access to curriculum and support. We are using Clever for digital rostering. This is safe for data protection and is an easy single click. All stake holders have access to performance data. It is important for students to see the growth with progress.

Dave Dillman shared:

The Operations department strives to make sure busses are on schedule. Meals are hot and on time. Furniture for students and staff are in working conditions. Assuring Teacher Technology is up to date. AIMS goals dictate OPS on the right path to meet goals.

Kevin Erickson asked what's next? 

Reviewing the wear and tear on assets. Looking into solar to increase efficiency.

Angela Eich shared: 

All finance goals were met. We had net gain and large consistency with On Track Summer grant. 1/2 of the grant was allocated in a sustainable way. We exceeded and achieved our net income goal and were very intentional with and without Covid funds.

HR processes are more streamlined with less manual work. Teachers attendance exceeded PTO but is on our wish list to finding different methods to avoid this next yearl.

Angela Ortega was introduced as the new Finance manager for the 23-24 school year. Angela Eich shared she was moving into a new role and is excited for what is next.

Brian Holman shared: 

We had a 25% loss in ambassadors before Covid. But we have seen a deeper commitment from current ambassadors. We are exploring more grants and enrollment is strong. We are 200 students away from our goal. The preschool is opening up and will have more details at our next Board meeting in July.
