The council has tabled this item for further discussion at their October meeting. They will be electing their chair, vice-chair, and secretary at their next meeting.

Mr. Lewis shared the Staff Report. He mentioned that we are in week three (3) of the 2021-22 school year, and continue to enroll new prospective scholars into Compass. As of today, the overall enrollment is 2,348 scholars across the three (3) charters that Compass operates. He shared an overview and update on the inaugural Weeks of Welcome (WOW) program, which included Back to School Night, program orientations, and department open houses. Event recordings can be found on the Compass YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLd9-AwEUf5zBtjJFrX_gPb1HyWEy3TqlX. There was also mention of the Monday Morning Update (MMU) and the revisions to the layout this year based on SLC feedback from last year. There was also a reminder about Scholar Club Sign-Up (https://forms.gle/WtMoy5Jwktsv3Twb8) which closed on Friday, September 17.

Mr. Lewis reviewed the council charge and opened the floor for discussion. The Scholar Leadership Council serves to provide scholar feedback on school policies and procedures at Compass Charter Schools to ensure that they are consistent with its Mission, Vision, and Values. This is the fifth year of operation for the Scholar Leadership Council, to be the eyes and ears of scholars at Compass and share the good, bad, and ugly to talk about suggestions and ways to make improvements to the Compass Experience for scholars. As part of this discussion was a review of the 2020-21 SLC Annual Report, which can be found on the Scholar Leadership Council webpage.
