Changes were discussed, including using Nvoice pay to reconcile purchasing more efficiently.

1) Strengthen Board effectiveness, visibility, and transparency

2) Deepen/enhance the Elevate School's (TESF) focus and impact by partnering with TESF to refine TESF goals/mission and create a 3-5 year action plan

3) Establish an accurate 8-year budget forecast to maximize fiscal resources for the benefit of students and the long-term sustainability of Elevate School

Changes make sure this policy and the student handbook. This policy, if approved, puts the policy in place well ahead of the state's deadline.
