Mr. White spoke on "Remembering the Vision". He would like to refocus where we are, a number of things have changed.  Try to reconnect at every board meeting, "Why we do what we do"! Last year we had my niece to come speak to the board on behalf of the student body here at MLK. Now that we have two schools, he would like for us to have a student from MLK and Humes to speak to the board as a voices at MLK and Humes.  He wants us to recommit to what we do.

Ms. Erica Williams articulated the fundraising plan. Ms. Williams provided the FCS fundraising strategy (where we're headed).  Talked about FSC fundraising history. Ms. Williams went over a plan of action and steps that can be taken. Ms. Williams touched on funders/donors. She shared information about hosting an Elvis tour at Humes. There were so many people that came out to enjoy the tour. We would like to continue doing the tour as part of fundraising.  We will touch on this again in our next meeting.
Board members were given assignments to have completed by our next Board meeting

Jeff was not in attendance, Mr. White spoke on some of the items on the financial report and the forecast. Gave some information on contingency plans for enrollment concerns. The numbers for enrollment was shared for MLK and Humes. The enrollment numbers are not where we would like them to be. Concerns around potential staffing cuts  

Mr. White spoke on the Charter school application. We were not approved and he feels that we shouldn't appeal. We have two schools that we need to focus on. New focus of being premiere turnaround organization. New starts and growth that way are not our priority
