Call the Meeting to Order
W. Middleton called a meeting of the board of trustees of Rochester Academy Charter School to order on Friday Aug 10, 2018 at 3:00 PM.
II. Finance, Facilities & Audit
A.
Securing a location for the elementary school.
The board discussed the building options for elementary school. The attorney will be communicating with the Town of Greece officials to secure one of the two buildings located in Greece; St. Charles or Derech Hatorah. The Stepping Stones building is not available for rent. The President of GRB will consider a purchase proposal from another party early next week and get back to us. We will also check with Diocese of Rochester to see if they have any available building in the City of Rochester. If none of these options work for September 5th, we will use the middle school building for both middle and elementary school students until a building becomes available.
M. Gedemenli made a motion to give the Director the authority to secure a building either by working with the school attorney for the buildings in Town of Greece or by negotiating with GRB for the rental and/or purchase of the Stepping Stones building within the terms defined in June board meeting and also by exploring other available options contingent upon our attorney's and NYSED Charter School Office's approval.
M. Guler seconded the motion.
The board VOTED unanimously to approve the motion.
III. Closing Items
A.
Adjourn Meeting
There being no further business to be transacted, and upon motion duly made, seconded and approved, the meeting was adjourned at 3:54 PM.
Respectfully Submitted,
M. Demirtas
