The purpose of the Consent Agenda is to act upon routine matters in an expeditious manner.

V. Strategic Growth Options 12:15 PM
 

Can Spokane International Academy demonstrate that it has the governance, operational capacity, leadership, financial planning, and facilities strategy necessary to responsibly grow to 1,180 students?

 

I move that the Spokane International Academy Board of Directors accept the Strategic Growth Options document as an initial planning framework and authorize the Head of School to develop a Phase I feasibility work plan and budget addressing enrollment demand, site capacity, portable options, permanent campus expansion, second-campus feasibility, organizational capacity, and a five-year growth financial pro forma. Staff will return to the Board with findings and recommendations before any binding facility, financing, or expansion commitment is made.
