Several parents spoke in support of the school and how their children are thriving.

Mike acknowledged the incredible amount of work that the parents and task force have put into raising funds for our school.  The TF met last night with goal to wrap up the last few items.  One dine-out left for the year.  They are looking at making some money at the Exhibition Night.  They want to have fundraising dates for next year in June.  They plan on having another pledge drive this fall, sometime in the October time frame.  It was very successful this year. The Gala will be in Feb/March time frame.  New fundraising items for next year:  100 in 100 event, fun run (jog-a-thon), add gift cards as an option for parents, add a vendor event for parents with home businesses, grants will be a key element next year (Carol will be helping with that).  TK said that we will have to have a plan in order to re-engage for the 100 in 100. Mike gave a reminder to the board to donate to the school before the end of the school year.  

Ryan referred to the summary sheet.  We have a consultant that we work with.  We had 4 Goals 1. Certificated teachers.  2. Common core instruction.  The team talked about this during Professional Development and identified two key areas, writing and STEAM.  Decided to hire a full-time staff member that will cover STEAM for next year.  3.  Assessments.  Looking at the systems for meeting the needs of ALL students.  4.  Parental participation.  The school put out a survey for parents, teachers and students.  Urged everyone to provide feedback.  (Want to increase parental involvement for fundraising help).  SIT Team meets on a monthly basis.  The school wants to have more community events for families to connect.

No Report.  Facilities TF will meet once Freda returns.

Carol explained that we (the board) do our meetings in public.  Our bylaws need to work in conjunction with the Brown Act.  Threads of emails can constitute a mtg.  We need to be careful of that.  Agendas need to be posted 72 hours in advance.  There is an exception for 2 or more board members to meet and that is through a task force.  Mike had a question about the 2 or more board members meeting vs a majority of the board meeting.  Cassandra said there would be a clarification for next board meeting.

Information was already covered in Matt's presentation under section B.

All employees receive the Employee Handbook at the beginning of the year.  Staff needs to indicate by signature that they have read. If the employees have a complaint, they address it with the principal.  Ryan, looks at all sides and then does an investigation to get all sides of the story.  From there, Ryan sits down with both parties and tries to work it out.  Usually it ends there.  If there is an instance that a staff member does something unacceptable, there is a form that is filled out which indicates what the sanction is.  This form has been filled out at elevate.  This form goes in the staff member's file.  All these issues are confidential.  TK reminded board and parents the we do have a complaint process.  It starts with parent and teacher, then principal, then the board.  In the two years we have been in operation, we have had someone come to the board twice.  The Chair's decision is final.  Mike said that it is important to know that we adhere to our policies.  

Received a request for mediation in April for a student that no longer attends.
