Goals
For marketing, we can get "free advertising" when articles are published in the newspapers. ZH will request staff to write blurbs from upcoming activities. Postcard idea was merely brought up; distribution can be a barrier.
ZH will look into septic expansion.
GW - working with CDE and BEST grant for funding for boiler, water, whatever it applies to
MN - will look into local foundations to see what's out there
JAG - will research League of Charter Schools for info

***WE NEED MORE INFO TO TACKLE THE SEPTIC -- PERHAPS FROM THE BUILDING SAFETY/SECURITY COMMITTEE?***
We discussed possible sources of funding (mainly grants):
-CDE
-Board on Track (to look for sources) - recorded webinars?
-League of Charter Schools - trainings on grant-writing, too
-Park Co School Dist, Cindy Bear, Superintendent - tells us what's coming from ESSER, etc. Next application deadline for ESSER funding is May 23, done via PCSD Re-1.
-Other charter schools - where did they get their funding?
-Local foundations, such as: El Pomar, Gill, Lion's, Kiwanis, Elks, Grange, Air Force Academy engineering group, fraternities or sororities.
-Idea of "sponsorship packages" in exchange for school advertising their businesses - curriculum, supplies, activities, etc.
In general, we have to look for funding, it isn't advertised to us as available.
