Finance Committee met last week.  Need to change the line for small rural up to 48.
We've had no word from the PE teacher to say if she is returning.
We need a part-time custodian and a full-time maintenance person.
Need to budget for another para and possibly a 5th grade teacher.
We need money in the facilities budget for things like another new ice machine, etc
The final Budget is due to the state in January.
Things to be aware of:
    There will be no funding for Virtual Village students for last year.
    We received dividends back from CEBT
    October Count funding is based on the calendar year, so it should be better this year.
    MUST get hot water upstairs NOW!  No time for bids.
Forward all outstanding service contracts to Tonia
Water Storage-did we pay someone half and never get the job done?
There are no maintenance records or facility plans that we can find.
During the week of staff training, it was explained of the time constraints on the current custodial and maintenance staff to get all the work done.  Rick F. has designed a maintenance log, daily/weekly/monthly, which shows the job requires 7.54 hours daily.  While custodial requires about 21 hours weekly.  Hoping the school board will ok hiring full-time maintenance and part-time custodial workers.

Removed from agenda

A lot of progress has been made over the summer.  We've restored some past employees and hired some great new ones.
Emergency Response Plan is written up, needs Board approval and then will be gone over with the staff.
The school is open for volunteers and building use.
There will be a lot of fun activities at the open house on the 23rd.
Would like to see the school library put to good use, reading time daily.
Enrollment is at 145
COVID response plan: we will continue to have split zones at recess.  No morning temperature check.  No parents allowed for breakfast, kids will go straight to their rooms and eat there.  Drop off time will be 7:45.  We will not require vaccinations for staff.  We will follow future guidelines set forth by the District, CDE, and/or Governor.
 

The Director was not present to give update

First meeting will be on 8/26/21 at 2:00 pm.
Meet & Greet on 9/2/21 at 4:30 pm

Policy committee hasn't met since May.  There is a lot to update

Security
Emergency Response Plan-we cannot walk the kids up Hwy 24 in the event of an emergency.  Would like to have an agreement with Durham Bus.  Need a plan for reunification with parents.
Facility
Thanks go out to Rick Favinger for all of his help with the building.  Need to get water heater fixed immediately.

LGCS has been a charter school for 25 years!  We were the first to take over an existing Public school.  Fred Zuercher and Julie M. Gilley have been a part of the school since the beginning.
Three "R's" for moving forward:
        Restore-relationships, staff, the building
        Reenvision-what does our future look like
        Reconnect-with the community

Julie M. Gilley discussed the Mill Levy Override and what it could mean for the school if it passes.

Fred Zuercher and Michelle Normandin are also available as substitute teachers for pay.  They will only be called when no other substitutes can be found.

Create a "wish list" poster for the gym.
Susan Bernstetter will take on heading the Facilities Committee
All Committee meetings must be posted.
