V. Reports

A.

Staff Report

Mr. Lewis shared that the final version of the marketing video is complete and ready for our 'We Are' Campaign, for Spring 2018 enrollment, 2018-19 enrollment and summer school enrollment. Mr. Lewis shared the interest of becoming members in California Association of Student Leaders (CASL). CASL is a scholar-led, not-for-profit organization that provides a statewide network, which facilitates the development of ethical, responsible, and servant leaders. He also shared the opportunity to attend the 2018 CASL Do Good Better Conference in April 5-9, 2018. The last item of the report was that CCS has joined The Energy Bus as its first online school in the exclusive program. The Energy Bus for Schools Leadership Journey is a multi-year, positive school initiative based on the success principles from Jon Gordon’s best-selling book, The Energy Bus. They are helping schools transform negativity by focusing on the positive things happening in our schools on a daily basis.

VI. Unfinished Business

A.

Discussion on Communication & Engagement Initiatives

Due to the review and discussion on the survey results, the Council will discuss this item at their February meeting.

VII. New Business

A.

Review and Discussion of Scholar Leadership Council Survey

Mr. Lewis led the council on an initial review of the Scholar Leadership Council Survey. The PowerPoint presentation will be shared with the Council when the draft minutes are shared.

B.

Council Member Feedback

Ms. Elizabeth Christopher said that overall, the results are very positive and show that we are doing well, and can improve to be even better! She did want to mention that it might be a good idea to show who is going to field trips (chaperones and scholars) because that might be more appealing to know who's going to be there, see friends, see how many other people are attending, etc.
Ms. Alexis Gordon mentioned that she was glad to see the results of the survey. Also asked about the Universal trip; Mr. Lewis shared it was canceled due to interest, but we are looking into the CASL Conference in early April.
Ms. Vania Linares shared that she wanted to say she was pleased with the results of the survey for the most part, and see it as a good foundation for us to build upon.
