Executive Director Report
Dr. Bow provided an oral report on staffing and student enrollment. As of the first day of school on August 8, enrollment was 648 students. As of August 22, enrollment was 624 students. Dr. Bow shared that the school has contracted with a school marketing consultant to produce engaging social media ads designed to attract families and students.
Paul Khoury of DMS provided a 22-23 budget update:
- LCFF increase projected to yield
- Discretionary block grants projected to yield additional $493k
- Learning Recovery Block Grant
- Arts, Music, Instruction Materials Block Grant
- Hold Harmless Legislation
- Encore's 2020-21 enrollment was held harmless at 2019-20 enrollment numbers with 899.27 ADA vs. actual ADA of 648. Current legislation will protect Encore for fiscal year 2021-22 and will recalculate the 2021-22 LCFF at the ADA of 899. This will be taken as revenue in 2022-23 as this legislation was in the 2022-23 state budget. Encore will pick up approximately $2.3M. These funds will flow to Encore in February 2023.
B.
Principal Report
Mr. Adriaan provided an oral report on the start of school, including the August 1-5 pre-service staff development. A professional development consultant for English Language learners provided training to all instructional staff. Last week's professional development meeting focused on special education practices with a focus on empowering teachers to best serve the students with disabilities (SWD) populations. This week's professional development will focus on NWEA assessment results. Results from spring 2022 SBAC state assessments reflect 95% participation, an improvement from prior years' participation rate. Actual assessment data is still under embargo and cannot yet be shared publicly.
C.
Staff Liaison Report
Dr. Bow introduced Sandi Del Sole as this year's staff-elected liaison.
