Burgos provided a summary of the previously held SAC meeting, covering topics such as protocols for students who go missing or are grieving, the employment renewal process, PowerSchool support, and interim reports. Espinosa requested more details on the interim report process, particularly additional training for Gradebook, noting that she only received one interim report during the first trimester. It was highlighted that interim reports cannot be generated unless grades are entered. There was a discussion on incorporating dedicated data days for grades and reporting for the following school year. Additionally, there was a suggestion to have student government take an active role on the Board.

Board Retreat

• Date: July 15th
• Flores has requested brief meetings to plan the retreat.
• Proposal for a partners' event: a reception following the retreat to facilitate networking and engage potential future board candidates. This event will be smaller in scale, offering a mix-and-mingle format, especially valuable given the absence of the annual Festival de Sueños.

Governance Update

• Bylaws: Gorman is drafting new bylaws for the Governance Committee, which will then be reviewed by the full board.

A/F Committee Update

• Awaiting estimates for tuition dollars.
• Collaborating with Exude on job analysis and workforce planning to identify redundancies and gaps.

Engagement Committee

• Express gratitude to Ducette for a generous contribution to Fiesta Fusion.
• Attend the event in branded t-shirts.
• Implementing cashless payment options.

Review of the monthly financials and budget forecast provided by Robin Eglin. Current Ratio: 2.67; Cash on Hand: 85.47 (PASS) Debt Ratio: 0.72; Total Margin: 7.06%; Lease Coverage Ratio: 2.67 – PASS.

The total cost for modular classrooms is $198,710 plus labor costs. Given the school's healthy net income, it is recommended to use a portion of available cash to invest in this capital improvement. The key takeaway is that this investment will result in cost savings and will not significantly impact the income statements over the next five years. The construction timeline is set to begin in the last two weeks of June and will continue through July. 

Eglin presented the 990 form for review.

The school has been actively submitting grant applications and is currently awaiting a decision from the Kensington Resilience Fund to support the school garden project, with a response expected by late June. Additionally, we are working on a Public Facilities grant to support our HVAC system.

Russotto presents the school's mission and its adopted values and mindsets to support organizational progress and student achievement.  To summarize, the school's mission is to prepare bilingual, internationally minded inquirers who learn and contribute to the community through service and action. It values positive relationships, teamwork, collaboration, student-centered thinking, and lifelong learning. It believes in fostering positive connections, working together towards shared goals, keeping students at the forefront of our decisions, and continuously learning and growing as a community. Its core mindsets emphasize shared ownership, focusing on execution, integrity in our actions, and using data to drive improvement.

Fineberg provides a presentation to discuss school's Special Education programming and its progress.  This year, two new programs have been introduced with dual objectives: firstly, to better serve the needs of our students, and secondly, to reduce out-of-district placements. The Therapeutic Learning Classroom (TLC) aims to enhance services for students with significant behavioral needs, allowing them to stay at PAACS rather than transferring to more restrictive environments. This program offers highly supportive placement (79%) for a minimum of two semesters. The Academic Behavior Classroom (ABC) caters to special education students with minor behavior challenges and additional academic needs not fully addressed in other tiered settings. Students may attend ABC for one period (45 minutes) a day, two to three days a week.

The school will continue to assess programming and build a continuum of services to support its students.
