Melissa Turner shared with the committee some funding issues related to students moving between districts and not reporting it to school administrators. It puts the school in a position of paying received funds back to the original district and seeking compensation, without guarantees, from the new district.    

Christine Miller brought up the topic of funding rates and asked for opinions about when to approach GASD on this topic. Last year she initiated discussions in December and the school received their funding rate in February. Darren Glass brought up the related subject of lease renewal for the building and when/how to approach that topic with GASD. Christine has not reached out to GASD but plans to do so. That conversation would intentionally broach the topic of reductions in annual rates and/or shorter lease periods to reflect current economic forecasts for the school and also to accommodate the possibility of moving to a new location within the next five years.
