  3. Review of December Financial Results (Brittany) – ACTION REQUIRED – Financial information was sent via e-mail before the board meeting.

Linda Pass seconds the motion. All are in favor with no one opposed. The motion passes.
  4. Committee Updates – Margaret Taylor –Board Development. Everyone received a survey via email asking for demographic information that is helpful to have for grant applications. Please fill that out. We are in a good place with skill sets and the board application process. We are always in need of non-parents who may want to join the board. Robin Hollis says we are already receiving applications. Cheryl Harry has resigned from the board and we will need to fill that spot. She is too busy to fulfill her board responsibilities.

Ellen Heck – We are meeting with Peter Wilbur on the 25th to discuss shooting footage for marketing videos. Kevin Nunley – Quick update on facilities – I have full drawings for expansion. The plans show increases in bathrooms with are required. The side of the courtyard with three classrooms will feel like an extension of the current 6th grade hallway. This is considered phase #1 of the courtyard expansion. It is an immediate need. It is in engineering right now. Phase #2 is a large music room with space for sectionals and a multi-purpose space (possible café) with closet space. There will be an overhang that will allow students to walk into the courtyard under cover if it rains. Don has said he can meet the fall deadline with no issues. Principal’s Report (Robin) – The lottery starts at 5:45 and the board meeting can start at 6:45. The lottery will likely not be over by then but the board can at least get started.

  1. Parent Council Updates
  2. Other Business – Matthew Donnell applauds the way the board is carefully thinking through the details of the replication discussion before making decisions.
  3. Adjournment – The motion is made to adjourn the meeting by Matthew Donnell and seconded by Margaret Taylor. All are in favor with no one opposed. The meeting is adjourned.
