Staff Report
Mr. Lewis led the council in an overview of the Staff Report. He shared an overview of SB-98 and its impacts on the operating budget. Enrollment is capped by charter and programs based on staffing and SB-98 impacts. Many schools have implemented an enrollment cap for the first time due to the funding structure set by the state. There are over 2,000 scholars on the waitlist.
He also shared an update on experiences and measures to prevent Zoom bombing. After further review and reflection, Compass suspended all Zoom Learning Labs until further notice. This will allow time to review options to provide and conduct a safe virtual learning experience with and for our scholars.
