II. Academic Excellence
A.
New item
We need to have 624 ADM/650 students. Last year MLK started with 643 ended with 618. We must make sure our enrollment is at 650 students. We are in the process of having post card made to send out to all the middle schools that are zoned to us. We are also planning a block party for enrollment.
III. CEO Support And Eval
A.
New item
We have had numerous conversation about the charter application. We have 90 days to be approve or denied for a new Charter school. Our relationship with SCS is very important, we are wanting to work with them. We will continue this conversation in July. As we make the decision, we have to look at what our vision is and what we want.
IV. Finance
A.
New item
Jeff spoke on the budget, fundraising and where were at now.
Enrollment is committed to 650 when school starts back. If we hit 624 during Feb. and April we should be good. Again, we had 618 by the end of the school year. Things are looking good and have a great turn around.
Fundraising goals has been reduced, we have a team coming in to help us with fundraising. We have a plan to reach that goal for our fundraising. We notice an increase cost for our Special Needs Program. Jeff feel good about us reaching our numbers for our new school year.
The Board voted on the budget finance (Carey motion the vote and Charles E. second). All voted yes!
Had some adjustment, but overall the numbers looks good!
