Mr. Lewis shared that we started the year with a little over 1,200 scholars, reported 1,474 scholars enrolled at the November meeting, and now have 1,515 scholars enrolled. Compass is still growing, too, with prospective scholars working to join the family. He also mentioned that we are continuing to work on charter renewals, for both CCS of Fresno and CCS of Los Angeles, both of which should be voted on in January. Compass is also working on an affiliation with REALM Charter Schools, in Berkeley, which will bring the Compass Experience to the Bay area. He also mentioned that this week he is hosting Parent Town Halls by grade span, and parents can RSVP on ParentSquare and view the links to the presentations and recordings through ParentSquare as well.

Mr. Lewis led the Council in a review of the Scholar Survey design from last year. Council decided to ask the same questions, as well as add a few questions for Online scholars on the curriculum, and for Options scholars. Members will connect with their educational facilitators to come up with some questions for the Options scholars. Everyone will share survey question ideas by the end of the week, and Mr. Lewis will have a draft Google Form ready for review next Monday, December 17. The goal is to launch the survey next Wednesday, December 19 and have it due the week scholars return from Winter Break.

• Laila Battle shared that she has some ideas for our Scholar Clubs and club meetings. Will wait for survey results, and share with our Director of Engagement when she is invited to our meeting.
• Lyric Hearne Hooker said she admired everyone who gave great speeches today.
• Avery Stansbury asked if we could consider more meet and greet opportunities for scholars.
• Airis Yeung mentioned that at the last field trip she attended, she spoke with some first year Options scholars and they said they were enjoying the school so far. They liked the fact that they could attend field trips both in the north and south.

The next meeting of the Scholar Leadership Council will be Wednesday, January 16 at 3 pm. Reminder to Council members on homework on the Scholar Survey.
