1. Student Enrollment: 607 students. We have 37 students pre-enrolled for the 2023-24 year.

3. Professional Development and Planning: Retained an instructional coach to work with Dr. Adriaan to plan the professional development schedule and topics for the second half of the 2022-23 year and the 2023-24 year.
