V. Reports
A.
Staff Report
Mr. Lewis led the council in an overview of the Staff Report. He shared an overview of all the COVID-19 updates shared earlier this week. Our CAASPP state testing window is being pushed back, to now begin on Monday, April 27. All field trips are canceled through the end of the month. Our Engagement Team is working with our partners to reschedule field trips for a later date. Due to state testing and Spring Break, we do not have any field trips scheduled for April. We will re-evaluate our May field trips after Spring Break. Coffee with Compass will also be canceled for March. Compass is suspending all in-person activities through our community providers, such as classes, field trips, and tutoring sessions.
Compass continues to grow and currently have 3,085 active scholars. The re-enrollment process has transitioned to a new platform.
He also shared that Michael Effie and Lyric Hearne-Hooker have been selected as 2020 Carson Scholars. This scholarship award will be invested in their college education.

VI. Unfinished Business
A.
2019 SLC Survey
Mr. Lewis led the council in an overview of the SLC Survey Results. The PowerPoint presentation was shared with the Council for review.
He also shared observations from Ms. Yeung regarding the SLC Survey. There are many scholars who shared they don't read the Monday Morning Update (MMU). She also suggested having academic rewards and competitions to increase scholar engagement. Ms. Linares shared that the MMU is easier to read when it's in a newsletter format.
Ms. Christopher shared she was surprised that so many online scholars said they never go to Learning Labs. Ms. Linares suggested having Learning Lab reminders school-wide as schedules and notifications vary from teacher to teacher. Ms. Gordon suggested having the teacher invite the roster to all the learning labs. Mr. Effie agrees with the opportunity to expand the Learning Lab session and schedule awareness.
