1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,920
I'm sorry you're ready. Yes. Okay. Perfect.

2
00:00:10,130 --> 00:00:35,150
All right. I think we're ready. Okay. Perfect. I was just trying to get everything pulled up. All right. Everyone welcome. It is great to see you. I hope you had a good July. Nice little break and are ready to jump back into this 2026-27 school year. So we are going to get started recording and progress.

3
00:00:35,150 --> 00:00:40,070
Yes. Thank you. We are going to get started with the pledge.

4
00:00:40,490 --> 00:00:43,270
I can tell you a little bit about their willingness to pledge.

5
00:00:43,790 --> 00:00:47,250
Yes, Assistant Principal Jensen has volunteered.

6
00:00:47,590 --> 00:00:50,470
And if you'll go stand by the flag, it will redirect our camera.

7
00:00:54,740 --> 00:00:56,820
Hopefully. I'll speak loudly.

8
00:00:57,800 --> 00:00:59,240
Repeat after me.

9
00:00:59,900 --> 00:01:04,640
I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America

10
00:01:04,640 --> 00:01:13,400
And to the Republic, for origin stands, one nation under God in indiscipline with liberty and justice for all.

11
00:01:17,620 --> 00:01:21,620
Thank you. Is there any public input?

12
00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:29,020
So, I'm terrified to be. I'm not sure if I have a place on the agenda by chance.

13
00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:33,740
I've learned from speaking in a little bit complex. I could go and let me know. I'm not proud of Mr. Beijing.

14
00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:44,000
So yes, I think we do have you down for public comment, Travis.

15
00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:45,960
Okay.

16
00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:48,840
If I check my screen, I'll be very, very brief.

17
00:01:51,260 --> 00:01:52,120
Yes, go ahead.

18
00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:54,200
Do I need to give you permission to hang on?

19
00:01:55,220 --> 00:01:55,440
Yes.

20
00:02:05,950 --> 00:02:08,390
I don't have to do this very often.

21
00:02:09,290 --> 00:02:10,750
I think you can share now.

22
00:02:11,350 --> 00:02:11,910
No worries.

23
00:02:12,050 --> 00:02:13,710
Okay, try again and see if it works.

24
00:02:17,130 --> 00:02:19,230
Can you see my screen opening?

25
00:02:19,430 --> 00:02:19,550
Yep.

26
00:02:20,910 --> 00:02:21,990
All right, perfect.

27
00:02:28,910 --> 00:02:29,210
All right.

28
00:02:29,310 --> 00:02:29,810
Can you still see it?

29
00:02:29,950 --> 00:02:30,090
Okay.

30
00:02:30,550 --> 00:02:30,710
Yep.

31
00:02:31,910 --> 00:02:32,310
Perfect.

32
00:02:32,610 --> 00:02:32,730
Okay.

33
00:02:33,250 --> 00:02:33,970
Thank you all.

34
00:02:34,210 --> 00:02:35,110
My name is Travis.

35
00:02:35,390 --> 00:02:36,350
I'm working with you.

36
00:02:36,510 --> 00:02:37,530
I'm in the gym.

37
00:02:37,970 --> 00:02:41,970
I have to pass five months and it's going to be a real honor and I appreciate the board

38
00:02:41,970 --> 00:02:46,870
and your support and your efforts and helping you cast two rules for the new girlfriends

39
00:02:46,870 --> 00:02:47,490
for the school.

40
00:02:51,890 --> 00:02:59,150
And so I want to share with you all via briefly, precisely what you've got, but I can tell you

41
00:02:59,150 --> 00:03:04,970
that all of the data information is verified by me, outside sources, and you are viewed by a very

42
00:03:05,490 --> 00:03:08,030
opianistic problem. I mean, you collect some of that data for us all.

43
00:03:09,490 --> 00:03:11,470
So what does our new model look like?

44
00:03:11,470 --> 00:03:18,050
We started at a very end of February, but looking at a whole month, so we'll see if the

45
00:03:18,050 --> 00:03:22,150
year is going to start from a March 1st until the July 1st, just for convenience.

46
00:03:23,170 --> 00:03:30,770
We saw compared the exact same time window last year, at 59.1% increase in new enrollments.

47
00:03:31,310 --> 00:03:39,030
So for March 1st until July 31st, 59.1% increase in enrollment, going from 44th to 50th.

48
00:03:39,030 --> 00:03:53,790
That is a bright UCAS in about $13,000 per child, about $340,000 additional revenue, and if you are a proper school, which you are not on track for that, that would be $2,000 or $8,000 a crop or additional funding that you receive.

49
00:03:54,910 --> 00:03:57,210
So that's $60,000 that I'll consume you either.

50
00:03:57,670 --> 00:04:05,310
It did pay for maybe $19,000 fees, but also for the add spend, also some cost there for some open house and what they might not be there too.

51
00:04:05,310 --> 00:04:05,770
I

52
00:04:08,330 --> 00:04:12,230
mean, the data sheet is more impressive than we look at the 31st day of the ads turned

53
00:04:12,230 --> 00:04:18,130
on, which was in February 23rd, and I ended our data collection here on the 14th.

54
00:04:18,950 --> 00:04:23,650
We look at that exact amount of time compared to the exact same days last year.

55
00:04:24,410 --> 00:04:28,470
It's a 66% increase in the moment for these students.

56
00:04:29,330 --> 00:04:32,710
78 new students are just 31 more than their previous year.

57
00:04:32,710 --> 00:04:33,810
as a net growth in

58
00:04:35,860 --> 00:04:39,580
3,000 net growth is $340,000 additional revenue.

59
00:04:40,500 --> 00:04:44,740
Now since the typical income is from one year, most are going to stay at UCAS

60
00:04:44,740 --> 00:04:46,120
for being two-and-a-half of three years.

61
00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:53,980
So the lifetime amount of revenue gained by UCAS just from our five months with you is

62
00:04:53,980 --> 00:04:59,140
estimated at about $1.2 billion in additional revenue for the school for the next three

63
00:04:59,140 --> 00:04:59,700
four years.

64
00:04:59,700 --> 00:05:04,510
the bottom line, that it doesn't need some challenges,

65
00:05:04,970 --> 00:05:06,870
and then we don't have the number of kids

66
00:05:06,870 --> 00:05:10,370
or only four, or two size student role might be a traction side

67
00:05:10,370 --> 00:05:12,490
which is what we're doing, and the attraction side

68
00:05:12,490 --> 00:05:14,110
which is what's happening to the school side.

69
00:05:14,710 --> 00:05:16,430
The attraction is bringing in these students.

70
00:05:16,610 --> 00:05:19,090
We brought in across the entire year,

71
00:05:19,270 --> 00:05:20,830
so part of those in the Department of Pathas,

72
00:05:21,890 --> 00:05:24,970
151 new students, which last year was 133.

73
00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:28,200
The challenge is it out of that,

74
00:05:28,280 --> 00:05:30,800
so 147 are student role when I checked last.

75
00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:35,920
So only 4 students lost 93% of students who enrolled are still enrolled today as far

76
00:05:39,380 --> 00:05:40,520
as the summer increase.

77
00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:44,660
Previously 40 students were lost over the summer who

78
00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:48,680
were currently enrolled increased

79
00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:52,500
by 255.

80
00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:08,760
For 4 years you go forward and think about what is the best next step for you.

81
00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:15,820
For one 65% those 2 out of 3 students who did not finish the school year last year were freshmen.

82
00:06:17,060 --> 00:06:21,940
85% of all students lost a place in August, September, or in January.

83
00:06:22,980 --> 00:06:25,900
So how does the school fix that and how does the school prove?

84
00:06:26,280 --> 00:06:30,600
So you continue to have your great school, great teachers, a school and a class.

85
00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:32,720
How do you get the number back up?

86
00:06:33,540 --> 00:06:39,420
I really strongly advise you stick with really strong, smart, advertising and marketing.

87
00:06:40,280 --> 00:06:44,080
The letter's going on, knocking on the doors, it helps a little, but not much, becomes

88
00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:44,860
a big expense.

89
00:06:45,780 --> 00:06:47,460
Not a great return to investment, typically.

90
00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:50,020
The second thing is, automated communications.

91
00:06:51,180 --> 00:06:54,260
Melody is one of my favorite people on earth, but shouldn't they do so much?

92
00:06:56,700 --> 00:06:57,140
150 leads.

93
00:06:57,640 --> 00:07:00,220
And 350 phone calls in text message list too much.

94
00:07:00,780 --> 00:07:04,360
As a part of the proposal we had for continuing working with the cast, is that we were going

95
00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:05,620
to completely automate

96
00:07:08,660 --> 00:07:11,960
all of us.

97
00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:15,660
That's not from melody, and she don't follow the ones who are selected.

98
00:07:17,490 --> 00:07:20,890
What I recommend is to build a really strong and safe living program, especially through

99
00:07:20,890 --> 00:07:22,770
five graders you know who is in throughout the year.

100
00:07:23,350 --> 00:07:26,770
So the kids who are struggling today may not struggle in three months, but they don't move that.

101
00:07:27,350 --> 00:07:29,570
So supporting the kids who are especially interested

102
00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:33,440
in life program for activities,

103
00:07:33,700 --> 00:07:38,400
athletics, events, all those kinds of things, that is the biggest factor impacting a moment.

104
00:07:38,900 --> 00:07:43,460
And that's exactly what the staff told me, what the teachers, the students and parents told me.

105
00:07:44,620 --> 00:07:49,720
In the end, this is our goodbye, we should not get by from now, but let's start by just

106
00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:52,360
to know that everything that we create is owned by the school.

107
00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:55,280
We do not take it from you, we don't delete anything.

108
00:07:55,560 --> 00:07:55,860
You have.

109
00:07:56,480 --> 00:08:00,940
JLN has access to all of our documents, all of our graphics, all of our ads, all of our

110
00:08:00,940 --> 00:08:02,900
copy, all of our leaks.

111
00:08:03,860 --> 00:08:08,060
Now, the data base, I will take that down to BP money for that, you don't want to pay money

112
00:08:08,060 --> 00:08:09,100
for some of those out of clients.

113
00:08:09,100 --> 00:08:09,940
I

114
00:08:12,410 --> 00:08:16,620
want you to know that I decided to not continue working with those things.

115
00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:21,480
It's like a sad deal that 66% increase into the moment, but you have to make decisions

116
00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:23,160
I understand that in respect of it.

117
00:08:23,660 --> 00:08:29,360
It's really been an absolute pleasure to meet corporate genuine who's a world classier, I love her to death.

118
00:08:29,940 --> 00:08:33,780
Working with Melanie, the care at the gym, all of them are really good people.

119
00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:37,320
It's been an honor and a pleasure and thank you for trusting me to help grow that new enrollment

120
00:08:37,780 --> 00:08:39,120
over the past five months.

121
00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:41,300
If you have any questions, feel free to ask,

122
00:08:43,680 --> 00:08:44,620
write information in the chat.

123
00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:46,680
But thank you very much for your time.

124
00:08:54,490 --> 00:08:54,990
Thank you for that.

125
00:08:55,910 --> 00:08:59,170
Were there any questions or comments?

126
00:09:07,100 --> 00:09:07,700
Thank you.

127
00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:11,940
I am providing that contact information in case anybody does have any follow-up questions.

128
00:09:11,980 --> 00:09:12,760
That would be great.

129
00:09:12,860 --> 00:09:14,340
Travis, thank you for all of your work.

130
00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:15,900
Thank you.

131
00:09:16,060 --> 00:09:16,400
It's been an honor.

132
00:09:18,860 --> 00:09:21,520
Mr. Derby, do we have any additional public input?

133
00:09:22,240 --> 00:09:23,040
Not to my knowledge.

134
00:09:24,300 --> 00:09:25,380
Oh, I am muted.

135
00:09:25,380 --> 00:09:31,960
Let me try again. Not to my knowledge. Okay. Great. Then can we move forward with the

136
00:09:31,960 --> 00:09:36,040
principal's report? Yes. Let me get there.

137
00:09:38,130 --> 00:09:41,190
Okay. Here we go. We're going to throw so much

138
00:09:41,190 --> 00:09:44,950
data at you in this meeting and so thank you for your patience and if you have questions

139
00:09:44,950 --> 00:09:52,210
as we go through, please ask them. So the start of the school year is here and we are incredibly

140
00:09:52,210 --> 00:09:57,990
grateful. I just I wanted to make sure that this was in our public minutes. UVU has gone above

141
00:09:57,990 --> 00:10:03,670
and beyond to make sure that our facilities were in place, that our contractors were kept on

142
00:10:03,670 --> 00:10:09,250
schedule, that we were able to start school on time. I mean, even with some last minute hiccups

143
00:10:09,250 --> 00:10:13,830
that they found, they got that taken care of, and we were able to start school on time. We're still

144
00:10:13,830 --> 00:10:19,010
settling in, of course, but our students are learning, the classrooms are put together, it looks like

145
00:10:19,010 --> 00:10:24,290
school and that is probably the most exciting thing after several weeks of

146
00:10:24,290 --> 00:10:28,630
some hard work as we've gone through. One of the other things that I wanted to

147
00:10:28,630 --> 00:10:31,970
say just about the start of school is how grateful I am for our teacher team

148
00:10:31,970 --> 00:10:37,370
and I was talking about this earlier and I'm gonna get emotional but the

149
00:10:37,370 --> 00:10:41,410
administrative staff at work with some students all summer long to make sure

150
00:10:41,410 --> 00:10:44,910
that we were ready to go and there were a lot of last-minute things that need to

151
00:10:44,910 --> 00:10:45,590
they have happened.

152
00:10:46,450 --> 00:10:48,710
And when the teachers came in, they jumped in,

153
00:10:49,070 --> 00:10:50,790
they worked hard, they were a teen,

154
00:10:51,270 --> 00:10:52,350
they helped each other out.

155
00:10:52,710 --> 00:10:54,350
They checked in with each other and said,

156
00:10:54,350 --> 00:10:55,570
hey, what can I do for you?

157
00:10:55,790 --> 00:10:57,650
Oh no, let's get this taken care of.

158
00:10:57,750 --> 00:10:59,390
Okay, let me make a round of progo for you.

159
00:10:59,670 --> 00:11:03,930
And it was like the reserve guard came in

160
00:11:03,930 --> 00:11:06,150
and really helped us to finish everything up.

161
00:11:06,210 --> 00:11:09,250
And I just am so honored to have the staff that we have

162
00:11:09,250 --> 00:11:10,830
and to work with these fine individuals

163
00:11:10,830 --> 00:11:12,250
as teachers and professionals.

164
00:11:12,250 --> 00:11:15,230
and so I wanted to make sure and give them a shout out in the comments.

165
00:11:17,120 --> 00:11:21,440
All right, Travis, thank you for giving us so many great enrollment numbers and we have

166
00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:22,940
a couple more to add to it.

167
00:11:23,280 --> 00:11:27,500
I updated this today and so it's going to be a little bit different than what's in your

168
00:11:27,500 --> 00:11:30,840
board packet, just by not even five two students.

169
00:11:31,520 --> 00:11:38,020
And so you can see our comparison with the overall ninth grade class for the past four years.

170
00:11:38,520 --> 00:11:41,640
Similarly for 10th grade, 11th, 12th going through.

171
00:11:42,200 --> 00:11:47,200
this next graph is our total enrollment and like I said this is 4.49 today we're

172
00:11:47,200 --> 00:11:52,660
at 4.47 we are expecting just from student situations and some different

173
00:11:52,660 --> 00:11:56,640
things we are still enrolling some students we're also still losing some

174
00:11:56,640 --> 00:12:01,260
students we think we're gonna balance right around that 4.47 mark by the time

175
00:12:01,260 --> 00:12:07,140
all is said and done I'm thinking we'll be right between 4.40 and 4.45 at least

176
00:12:07,140 --> 00:12:11,620
until January and then we'll see where we land after that we do try and

177
00:12:11,620 --> 00:12:13,420
and kick out some students in January.

178
00:12:13,640 --> 00:12:15,320
We also lose some students in January.

179
00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:18,280
And so we're hoping to keep that number stable

180
00:12:18,280 --> 00:12:19,260
as we go through.

181
00:12:19,420 --> 00:12:23,240
And then you can see our enrollment over time

182
00:12:23,240 --> 00:12:24,140
and kind of where we are.

183
00:12:24,260 --> 00:12:26,740
And it does seem we are starting to plateau a little bit,

184
00:12:26,880 --> 00:12:28,380
which is really good news.

185
00:12:30,460 --> 00:12:32,740
So as far as our withdrawn students,

186
00:12:32,740 --> 00:12:34,900
we have only dropped our non-entenders.

187
00:12:34,920 --> 00:12:37,320
And so those are the ones who don't show up

188
00:12:37,320 --> 00:12:38,820
on our withdrawn list.

189
00:12:38,820 --> 00:12:41,060
And so because we're still formulating

190
00:12:41,060 --> 00:12:45,720
that number it's still so early in the school year I don't have correct 2027 numbers for that yet

191
00:12:45,720 --> 00:12:50,600
this morning when I looked we were at five but it's still pretty early in the school year and so

192
00:12:50,600 --> 00:12:55,260
that's not reflected here and we'll see what happens and hopefully we can hold on to a mall and

193
00:12:55,260 --> 00:13:01,960
we'll keep going. So the other data that I thought would be interesting for you to look at is change

194
00:13:01,960 --> 00:13:06,740
in our enrollment by cohort and this graph is a little bit hard to read so I'm going to try and explain

195
00:13:06,740 --> 00:13:11,680
it to be as best I can. Basically we are looking at what happened between

196
00:13:11,680 --> 00:13:16,120
9th and 10th grade. So if you're looking at this first area we're looking at

197
00:13:16,120 --> 00:13:22,120
what happened between 9th and 10th grade over time. So this 9th students is the

198
00:13:22,120 --> 00:13:28,180
group of students who would graduate in 2023 and so there is a change of 9

199
00:13:28,180 --> 00:13:35,120
students from 9th to 10th grade with that cohort. Before I go any further does anyone

200
00:13:35,120 --> 00:13:37,820
want to have any questions about what we're looking at on this graph.

201
00:13:40,920 --> 00:13:41,220
Okay, I'm

202
00:13:41,220 --> 00:13:45,280
going to keep going. So then, so we increased nine students between 9th and 10th

203
00:13:45,280 --> 00:13:49,680
grade with our graduation cohort of 2023. That means that we lost one student

204
00:13:49,680 --> 00:13:57,340
in the cohort of 2024 and so on. These numbers here are similar for 10th to

205
00:13:57,340 --> 00:14:02,200
11th grade. So it does show that we lose obviously quite a few more students

206
00:14:02,200 --> 00:14:08,340
between 10th and 11th grade, but between 20th and 11th between last year and this year we actually

207
00:14:08,340 --> 00:14:16,800
increased so far by four students instead of losing 10 to 20 students there. And then between 11th

208
00:14:16,800 --> 00:14:24,540
to 12th grade, the trend is that we lose between 5 and 10, you know, up to 12 students there. And we're

209
00:14:24,540 --> 00:14:30,600
a little bit lower in that range where we've only lost 4 this year. And so you can see kind of where

210
00:14:30,600 --> 00:14:32,340
where we're trending on those numbers

211
00:14:32,340 --> 00:14:34,640
as we go through our different cohorts.

212
00:14:35,120 --> 00:14:37,280
Any questions about that data?

213
00:14:38,580 --> 00:14:41,580
So it does look like we are retaining students better

214
00:14:41,580 --> 00:14:46,360
than we have in the past with the exception of maybe nine

215
00:14:46,360 --> 00:14:48,340
to 10th where we've only increased by two,

216
00:14:48,360 --> 00:14:51,680
where we had some years where we increased by 25, 38 students.

217
00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:54,060
We've only increased by two, but the other areas

218
00:14:54,060 --> 00:14:55,780
where we're improved a little bit.

219
00:14:58,720 --> 00:14:58,960
Okay.

220
00:15:00,270 --> 00:15:30,190
Some of the things that we are looking at with regards to marketing and our plans moving forward is we would like to move our lottery date. In talking to Melanie, some of the things that she noticed is that when she would ask parents and families, hey, why did you decide not to come to UCAS? Well, we were still waiting to find out for sure, and we got an offer from this other school. And so instead of waiting for them to wonder if they're going to be able to come or not.

221
00:15:30,190 --> 00:15:36,150
We would like to move our lottery date up and we're looking at either January or maybe even as early as November.

222
00:15:36,790 --> 00:15:44,210
When we move that lottery date up, the other thing that we would like to do is have some more hands on activities for those future students.

223
00:15:44,770 --> 00:15:51,670
And we're not looking at doing a ton of new things, but maybe we invite them to a stag dance that we're already having.

224
00:15:52,130 --> 00:15:57,890
Maybe we have a field day or a game after school and then we invite them and their families to come to that game night as well.

225
00:15:57,890 --> 00:16:05,530
And so it's not adding additional activities, but inviting them to activities that we're already having so that they can continue to build the

226
00:16:06,270 --> 00:16:11,750
relationship that they have with the school and get excited to come and learn our culture get excited to come for the next fall.

227
00:16:12,450 --> 00:16:15,030
And then hopefully we retain more of those applicants

228
00:16:15,030 --> 00:16:20,070
through when they apply when they're accepted and then into the next school year.

229
00:16:20,710 --> 00:16:27,270
Some other ideas that I didn't list on here is with our recruiting efforts is we're looking at

230
00:16:28,470 --> 00:16:37,290
the marketing departments in both UVU and MTAG to see if there's a possible intern that we can hire to work with that might help with some of our social media and other marketing.

231
00:16:37,950 --> 00:16:47,250
We are looking at a parent committee and four minutes of committee with our parent advisory council for a word of mouth campaign and having them help us with that.

232
00:16:47,250 --> 00:16:55,090
And then also we did do the Maynors last year in January and February and so we want to bring that back again and target some specific zip codes.

233
00:16:55,510 --> 00:16:59,990
Some of the areas where students are saying the reason why they're not coming back is because of transportation.

234
00:17:00,690 --> 00:17:09,270
And so we really want to hit hard the areas in Vineyard and in that western side of the Orrin area where it's more feasible for them to commute.

235
00:17:09,930 --> 00:17:17,130
instead of hitting like CERTAGA Springs or some areas out there that are quite a bit further away

236
00:17:17,130 --> 00:17:25,630
and result in an hour commute in what should seem like it should only be 20 minutes based on, you know, as the bird flies geographically.

237
00:17:25,830 --> 00:17:29,310
But that's the reports that we have been getting.

238
00:17:29,830 --> 00:17:35,170
We are still going to continue with our intramurals and advertising, you know, the outcomes of those intramural programs

239
00:17:35,170 --> 00:17:41,290
putting those in social media making sure that we keep as much interaction as

240
00:17:41,290 --> 00:17:48,170
possible with our students and outside activities and in like extracurricular

241
00:17:48,170 --> 00:17:53,050
activities so that they feel like they have a well-rounded experience here at

242
00:17:53,050 --> 00:17:57,410
E-Cas and so we're also I'm going to put this plug out there. Last year we did a

243
00:17:57,410 --> 00:18:03,510
choir experience for our students and we've actually brought choir advisory back

244
00:18:03,510 --> 00:18:05,270
now that both campuses are combined.

245
00:18:05,570 --> 00:18:06,750
So I'm very excited about that.

246
00:18:07,110 --> 00:18:08,510
But I would like to put a banner

247
00:18:08,510 --> 00:18:10,090
and orchestra clinic together,

248
00:18:10,250 --> 00:18:11,350
and I need a conductor.

249
00:18:11,510 --> 00:18:12,470
So I'm going to put it out there

250
00:18:12,470 --> 00:18:14,090
that we're looking for a guest conductor

251
00:18:14,090 --> 00:18:16,650
for a clinic for band or orchestra,

252
00:18:17,930 --> 00:18:21,850
so that we can get that going this year as well.

253
00:18:22,790 --> 00:18:24,190
That is the principal report.

254
00:18:24,690 --> 00:18:26,990
What questions or clarifications do you have?

255
00:18:31,390 --> 00:18:32,850
Yeah, so I had just a couple of questions

256
00:18:32,850 --> 00:18:36,330
looking at these data that you currently have up right now.

257
00:18:36,330 --> 00:18:43,410
So my first question is, what do we think is happening between 10th and 11th grade?

258
00:18:43,570 --> 00:18:46,490
That seems to be where we have the largest drop of students.

259
00:18:46,890 --> 00:18:56,150
Do we attribute this more to the two campuses where students are going from kind of this very

260
00:18:56,150 --> 00:19:06,310
nurturing we want you to be successful in my 10th grade campus to the 11th grade.

261
00:19:06,310 --> 00:19:11,210
Do we have any other idea of what's happening between that fifth and the seventh grade here?

262
00:19:11,730 --> 00:19:19,660
I have a lot of assumptions and so I'm happy to share some of those assumptions

263
00:19:19,660 --> 00:19:22,420
or some of the things that have been kind of the word on the street.

264
00:19:22,900 --> 00:19:25,900
I think there is quite a bit of drop off because there is a reputation

265
00:19:25,900 --> 00:19:30,480
that 11th grade at UCAS is so hard and when we have this split campus,

266
00:19:30,660 --> 00:19:33,740
our 10th graders didn't have the experience of being with the 11th graders

267
00:19:33,740 --> 00:19:36,180
to see how it is, to see it's actually not that bad.

268
00:19:36,180 --> 00:19:39,980
I also think that when students have an opportunity to switch schools they're

269
00:19:39,980 --> 00:19:44,440
like well if I'm switching schools why don't I really switch schools and so I

270
00:19:44,440 --> 00:19:51,060
think that that played into it. We won't really know until we have them here

271
00:19:51,060 --> 00:19:56,060
all on one campus and see how that results but I can tell you that already in

272
00:19:56,060 --> 00:20:00,540
this first week of school the behavior has been much different from our ninth

273
00:20:00,540 --> 00:20:05,000
graders. In fact I'm gonna do you want to speak to that Jen since you were boots on

274
00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:06,880
on the ground last year with 9th and 10th graders?

275
00:20:06,880 --> 00:20:08,620
Yeah, it's been amazing.

276
00:20:08,900 --> 00:20:10,980
Even in the week that we've been in school,

277
00:20:11,800 --> 00:20:14,400
I can just look around and look at our freshmen

278
00:20:14,400 --> 00:20:16,920
and see they have this moment of,

279
00:20:17,080 --> 00:20:19,380
oh, I'm going to school with the big kids

280
00:20:19,830 --> 00:20:22,100
and I've seen their behavior level up

281
00:20:22,100 --> 00:20:24,740
than what we've seen in all those first couple of weeks.

282
00:20:25,280 --> 00:20:26,620
I've even seen the sophomores.

283
00:20:26,880 --> 00:20:30,260
Sometimes our sophomores got a little bit big for their bridges

284
00:20:30,260 --> 00:20:32,020
and they're almost to the school.

285
00:20:32,020 --> 00:20:40,260
and I've seen them heads down working hard so that that has been amazing some of

286
00:20:40,260 --> 00:20:45,720
that a little bit of social you know correction from their ears.

287
00:20:45,980 --> 00:20:51,720
So I think that that's part of it just the reputation of 11th grade and then

288
00:20:51,720 --> 00:20:56,200
also like like you were talking about the the transition between the buildings

289
00:20:56,200 --> 00:21:00,940
and so I'm hoping that coming back together that that will ease some of that

290
00:21:00,940 --> 00:21:06,200
drop between 10th and 11th. I think also in 11th grade our students have more

291
00:21:06,200 --> 00:21:09,320
concurrent enrollment in that grade than the other grades and they start

292
00:21:09,320 --> 00:21:13,980
really looking at scholarship qualifications and so 9th and 10th grade we can kind

293
00:21:13,980 --> 00:21:19,080
of bake let me say this correctly we can kind of support them differently than

294
00:21:19,080 --> 00:21:24,580
we can in 11th grade because the there's less on the line as far as their

295
00:21:24,580 --> 00:21:29,520
scholarship goes and so when they get to that 11th grade it sometimes gets to

296
00:21:29,520 --> 00:21:34,720
point where it's like we put in all the supports we can, it looks like based on what you're

297
00:21:34,720 --> 00:21:39,900
able and willing to do at this time, this is the maximum that we're able to reach and so is this

298
00:21:39,900 --> 00:21:44,400
actually a good fit and then make a decision that it might not be at that point. And so I think

299
00:21:44,400 --> 00:21:50,120
that that's part of it as well. Can you scroll up to the other chart? Yeah, we choose for a second there.

300
00:21:50,120 --> 00:21:55,580
the withdrawals or the numbers. Okay. On more. There you go.

301
00:22:00,480 --> 00:22:01,840
So I also had a question here.

302
00:22:02,680 --> 00:22:10,820
On this one, what do we think led to this increase in enrollments that we're seeing in 2021-2022?

303
00:22:11,640 --> 00:22:16,160
Because it feels like we kind of built up to this peak there and then we've kind of

304
00:22:17,720 --> 00:22:23,260
almost leveled off as we've come back down. But do we have any insights as to what might have

305
00:22:24,180 --> 00:22:27,880
contributed to these two higher years of total enrollments?

306
00:22:29,360 --> 00:22:35,840
I want to actually compare that. So that's our total enrollment. I also want to compare that with our total withdrawals those two years.

307
00:22:36,820 --> 00:22:40,720
And so when you compare it those two years we had a lot of drops.

308
00:22:41,280 --> 00:22:46,080
And so these asterisk and I did not do a good job in explaining this in this chart and I apologize.

309
00:22:46,280 --> 00:22:51,200
But what those asterisks are is we changed the way that we recorded our withdrawals those two years.

310
00:22:51,200 --> 00:22:55,740
and so right now what we do is if we have students who never attended we delete

311
00:22:55,740 --> 00:22:59,680
them completely from the system. They never show up on the withdrawal list and

312
00:22:59,680 --> 00:23:04,460
they're not included in the enrollment numbers. In those two years we waited to

313
00:23:04,460 --> 00:23:09,420
do the withdrawals until later and so even if they had never shown up they showed

314
00:23:09,420 --> 00:23:13,620
up on the withdrawal list where now they wouldn't and so I think that's part of

315
00:23:13,620 --> 00:23:18,500
what you're seeing in that data and it the correlation leads me to believe that

316
00:23:18,500 --> 00:23:20,420
that is part of the reason.

317
00:23:20,920 --> 00:23:22,760
I do also know that during those years,

318
00:23:23,160 --> 00:23:25,560
we accepted a ton of students

319
00:23:25,560 --> 00:23:27,220
and then they realized quite quickly,

320
00:23:27,340 --> 00:23:28,740
it wasn't the best fit for them.

321
00:23:28,940 --> 00:23:30,320
And so they ended up leaving

322
00:23:30,320 --> 00:23:33,620
and we saw increases in our behavior issues

323
00:23:33,620 --> 00:23:35,900
and some other things in those couple of years

324
00:23:38,120 --> 00:23:41,920
where that we changed some of the things

325
00:23:41,920 --> 00:23:42,720
that we were doing afterwards.

326
00:23:43,380 --> 00:23:44,480
So thank

327
00:23:46,620 --> 00:23:48,240
you, those are my questions.

328
00:23:48,700 --> 00:23:51,180
Didn't you announce that any questions for the school to reach?

329
00:23:55,820 --> 00:23:57,760
Just an observation, this is Clark.

330
00:24:00,180 --> 00:24:06,120
When we started UCAS, we were a new idea and we were really pushing the academics

331
00:24:07,180 --> 00:24:10,260
and we were doing things that no one else was able to do.

332
00:24:10,440 --> 00:24:13,380
And if you wanted an associate degree as a high school student,

333
00:24:13,860 --> 00:24:16,280
you could either come to one of your early college high schools

334
00:24:16,280 --> 00:24:18,760
or you could figure it out on your own

335
00:24:18,760 --> 00:24:24,200
and do your own schedule and get it in spite of what your high school was trying to do.

336
00:24:25,720 --> 00:24:32,880
And we've honestly, we've been immensely successful at working with the students.

337
00:24:33,120 --> 00:24:35,420
And we're just really proud of our success rate.

338
00:24:36,160 --> 00:24:42,120
And we've honestly raised the bar significantly throughout the state with the early college high schools.

339
00:24:43,940 --> 00:24:46,600
Consequently, the schools have responded.

340
00:24:47,320 --> 00:24:51,620
and now almost all of your schools have a program there where you can go visit

341
00:24:51,620 --> 00:24:56,260
with a counselor and they know how to do it they know what you can recommend and

342
00:24:56,260 --> 00:25:03,220
things such as that so we're not as unique as we used to be and you know that's

343
00:25:03,220 --> 00:25:08,180
fine we are still very good and we're still on the top academically there was a

344
00:25:08,180 --> 00:25:13,460
time when I could see UCAS being 1200 students I'm not sure I see that anymore I

345
00:25:13,460 --> 00:25:17,740
would be just very happy to be a five 600 student student body and just be

346
00:25:17,740 --> 00:25:25,580
dang good. And I think our our presence on the campus is something that the

347
00:25:25,580 --> 00:25:32,360
other schools cannot duplicate. Instead of taking concurrent enrollment or a

348
00:25:32,960 --> 00:25:38,280
satellite program we're still unique where we have the university professor right

349
00:25:38,280 --> 00:25:42,600
there and the university classroom and all of that. So I think we still have some

350
00:25:42,600 --> 00:25:50,300
great advantages, but I think some of the decrease that we saw was because of the of the other schools

351
00:25:50,300 --> 00:25:51,560
up in their game, honestly.

352
00:25:54,630 --> 00:26:01,010
Thank you for those insights Clark, I appreciate it. If we have no further

353
00:26:01,010 --> 00:26:08,130
questions or comments regarding the principles report, and we can turn the time over to Tara for the

354
00:26:08,130 --> 00:26:10,790
approval of the minutes, where did you work these?

355
00:26:17,580 --> 00:26:18,460
Are those sorry?

356
00:26:26,670 --> 00:26:26,950
Yes.

357
00:26:48,470 --> 00:26:51,070
Was anyone able to find anything

358
00:26:51,070 --> 00:26:57,730
that needed correction or are there any questions with the minutes from, I guess, this would

359
00:26:57,730 --> 00:27:01,110
have been June. So, clear last year.

360
00:27:03,330 --> 00:27:09,230
Last fiscal year, yes, it was a completely different universe that we were in.

361
00:27:16,560 --> 00:27:23,120
Right, there are no questions or comments regarding the June board meetings. Do we have a motion

362
00:27:23,120 --> 00:27:25,240
to approve the minutes for the June 4th meeting.

363
00:27:26,760 --> 00:27:29,660
I'll make a motion to approve the June 4th meeting minutes.

364
00:27:29,660 --> 00:27:30,160
This is Jeff.

365
00:27:31,040 --> 00:27:31,620
Thank you, Jeff.

366
00:27:31,880 --> 00:27:32,520
Do we have a second?

367
00:27:33,220 --> 00:27:34,440
I brought a whole second.

368
00:27:34,880 --> 00:27:35,920
Thank you, Rook.

369
00:27:36,520 --> 00:27:37,560
Is there any discussion?

370
00:27:41,560 --> 00:27:44,880
Seeing no discussion in all in favor, please say hi.

371
00:27:45,780 --> 00:27:46,160
Hi.

372
00:27:46,380 --> 00:27:46,500
Hi.

373
00:27:47,520 --> 00:27:48,140
Any opposed?

374
00:27:51,290 --> 00:27:52,230
The motion passes.

375
00:27:52,650 --> 00:27:53,070
Thank you.

376
00:27:53,590 --> 00:27:57,890
We'll continue with Tara for the approval of the expenditures

377
00:27:57,890 --> 00:28:00,370
and financial reports or June.

378
00:28:00,890 --> 00:28:05,070
All right. So June, the last column of the year,

379
00:28:06,610 --> 00:28:10,310
this isn't the corrected one, but I want you to know

380
00:28:11,430 --> 00:28:13,710
that the year-to-date totals are correct,

381
00:28:14,050 --> 00:28:15,990
because you're going to pull up the other one.

382
00:28:16,090 --> 00:28:17,070
I'm going to, yes.

383
00:28:17,770 --> 00:28:20,790
So there was a typo on the bond,

384
00:28:21,070 --> 00:28:22,890
probable bond installment line.

385
00:28:23,110 --> 00:28:26,490
However, the year-to-date total amounts are correct.

386
00:28:26,490 --> 00:28:29,330
So you could see the way we finished out our year.

387
00:28:30,130 --> 00:28:35,430
I did put the amended budget in that was approved and what percentage we are of that.

388
00:28:35,690 --> 00:28:39,930
And we have hit numbers where I believe we'll be doing really well.

389
00:28:40,210 --> 00:28:43,110
We actually didn't end up in the negative.

390
00:28:43,350 --> 00:28:49,190
We left ourselves a lot of room based on many factors because we had hoped we would get

391
00:28:49,190 --> 00:28:51,710
into the building sooner and be purchasing a few items.

392
00:28:51,710 --> 00:29:00,270
and so at the end of the year we actually had $166,000 in the positive which is very nice.

393
00:29:00,770 --> 00:29:07,870
You can see our bank balances at the bottom of the sheet and you can see where we landed on with our percentages.

394
00:29:08,210 --> 00:29:14,610
Are there any questions about June or the way we ended FY26?

395
00:29:14,610 --> 00:29:15,390
Hey,

396
00:29:22,780 --> 00:29:33,380
if there are no questions or comments regarding our June Financial Report, do we have a motion to approve the expenditure financial report for June?

397
00:29:34,280 --> 00:29:37,360
I move we approve this report for June. This is Teresa.

398
00:29:38,040 --> 00:29:40,000
Thank you, Teresa. Do we have a second?

399
00:29:41,460 --> 00:29:43,160
This is Jeff. I'll make a second.

400
00:29:43,820 --> 00:29:45,720
Thank you, Jeff. Is there any discussion?

401
00:29:48,300 --> 00:29:52,060
Okay, seeing the discussion all in favor, please say hi.

402
00:29:52,760 --> 00:29:53,160
Hi.

403
00:29:53,760 --> 00:29:53,920
Hi.

404
00:29:54,540 --> 00:29:55,440
Any opposed?

405
00:29:55,920 --> 00:29:56,020
No.

406
00:29:57,480 --> 00:29:59,100
Okay, this looks to pass it.

407
00:29:59,300 --> 00:29:59,660
Thank you.

408
00:30:04,880 --> 00:30:08,940
Okay, so this begins our new year.

409
00:30:11,640 --> 00:30:29,680
So you can see the original budget for FY27, and you can see our numbers for July, 2026, and where we are with that. So, you've got our salaries and benefits look really good. Our, or, um,

410
00:30:29,680 --> 00:30:35,600
lease is still the same. There weren't a lot going off. There wasn't a lot of

411
00:30:35,600 --> 00:30:39,920
stuff going on in the month of July. And we didn't get the final progress payment

412
00:30:40,440 --> 00:30:45,100
from the modular until next month, until August is when we paid the final

413
00:30:45,100 --> 00:30:48,660
payment for the main building that we're in. But there was some wiring and a few

414
00:30:48,660 --> 00:30:52,920
other things that you can see in the modular in progress. But even then at the

415
00:30:52,920 --> 00:30:59,100
end of the month of July we were ahead and there's our bank balances at the

416
00:30:59,100 --> 00:31:06,080
bottom. July's always very quiet. No one's here really. Although there was a lot of people

417
00:31:06,080 --> 00:31:14,680
here this year. I mean from the business perspective. So are there any questions or concerns

418
00:31:14,680 --> 00:31:17,440
regarding the financials for July?

419
00:31:23,290 --> 00:31:28,510
Just a quick question. Sorry, this is Clark. Just a quick

420
00:31:28,510 --> 00:31:33,370
question then. You're you're looking at your salaries and your benefit package and everything

421
00:31:33,370 --> 00:31:38,830
such as that. And these look like they're on target and about what you're expecting and

422
00:31:38,830 --> 00:31:41,750
it looks sustainable. Yes, yes it looks really good.

423
00:31:44,620 --> 00:31:45,900
That's great because that's such

424
00:31:45,900 --> 00:31:53,320
a heavy part of the whole budget. And what's been nice about combining both

425
00:31:53,320 --> 00:32:00,000
of the campuses together is that we had some duplication that was costing us quite a bit.

426
00:32:00,900 --> 00:32:05,900
And in combining the two and bringing us together, I feel from a business perspective

427
00:32:05,900 --> 00:32:07,960
that we're running much more efficiently.

428
00:32:08,620 --> 00:32:09,280
I agree.

429
00:32:12,760 --> 00:32:14,400
We like your fish and we do.

430
00:32:16,100 --> 00:32:18,460
So they're great observations to have.

431
00:32:19,040 --> 00:32:21,600
So thank you for that question, Clark.

432
00:32:22,760 --> 00:32:29,420
Are there any additional questions or comments related to this budget report for July?

433
00:32:33,560 --> 00:32:33,720
Okay.

434
00:32:34,320 --> 00:32:38,920
Do we have a motion to approve the expenditures and financial report for July?

435
00:32:38,920 --> 00:32:39,000
Okay.

436
00:32:39,500 --> 00:32:45,860
I broke a lot of approved motion that we have approved, which is why it's 26th and actually

437
00:32:45,860 --> 00:32:46,140
worked.

438
00:32:46,940 --> 00:32:47,660
Thank you for that.

439
00:32:47,780 --> 00:32:48,480
Is there a second?

440
00:32:48,960 --> 00:32:49,580
This is Clark.

441
00:32:49,580 --> 00:32:50,560
I would second that.

442
00:32:51,620 --> 00:32:52,280
Thank you.

443
00:32:52,400 --> 00:32:52,520
Clark.

444
00:32:52,680 --> 00:32:53,620
Do we have any discussion?

445
00:32:56,870 --> 00:32:57,890
Seeing no discussion.

446
00:32:58,110 --> 00:32:58,590
All in favor?

447
00:32:58,950 --> 00:32:59,910
Please say hi.

448
00:33:00,950 --> 00:33:01,210
Hi.

449
00:33:01,390 --> 00:33:01,590
Hi.

450
00:33:02,470 --> 00:33:03,330
Any opposed?

451
00:33:03,810 --> 00:33:03,970
May?

452
00:33:06,240 --> 00:33:06,440
Okay.

453
00:33:06,600 --> 00:33:07,340
That motion passes.

454
00:33:07,640 --> 00:33:08,080
Thank you.

455
00:33:08,080 --> 00:33:15,320
So this brings us to the reviewer approval for the fiscal year 26 frog risk assessment.

456
00:33:15,620 --> 00:33:16,440
This is their bench.

457
00:33:17,000 --> 00:33:17,260
All right.

458
00:33:17,560 --> 00:33:23,540
So each year we go through, we do an assessment of our risk of fraud and then we submit that

459
00:33:23,540 --> 00:33:31,420
to the state auditor and this is our current assessment and so we go through and rate ourselves

460
00:33:31,420 --> 00:33:33,340
essentially on each of these areas.

461
00:33:33,340 --> 00:33:41,360
and the only area that might send up a small red flag is this area where are all

462
00:33:41,360 --> 00:33:44,960
of the people who are able to collect cash or check payments different from

463
00:33:44,960 --> 00:33:50,700
all the people who are able to adjust customer accounts and so that MC stands

464
00:33:50,700 --> 00:33:57,180
for mitigating control and so while we sometimes have those who adjust customer

465
00:33:57,180 --> 00:34:01,620
accounts also collecting the cash or the payments we have a mitigating

466
00:34:01,620 --> 00:34:07,200
control in that. We have a third person overseeing that or a different person who makes the deposits.

467
00:34:07,920 --> 00:34:14,680
And so there are ways that we ensure that there is no fraud risk in that area.

468
00:34:14,980 --> 00:34:20,200
And we have, we hire really honest people and who do their job well and keep us off track.

469
00:34:20,340 --> 00:34:25,500
And so that has not been an issue and I don't anticipate it being an issue in the future.

470
00:34:26,360 --> 00:34:30,360
Are there any questions about the fraud risk assessment?

471
00:34:39,500 --> 00:34:43,880
Okay, there are no questions related to this progress assessment.

472
00:34:44,360 --> 00:34:49,380
Do we have a motion to approve the fiscal year 26 progress assessment?

473
00:34:52,220 --> 00:34:53,320
I move. This is true.

474
00:34:53,380 --> 00:34:53,980
So I move.

475
00:34:54,200 --> 00:34:57,860
We approved the 2026 progress assessment.

476
00:34:58,740 --> 00:34:59,900
Great. Thank you, Theresa.

477
00:35:00,240 --> 00:35:00,960
Do we have a second?

478
00:35:01,840 --> 00:35:02,620
This is Jeff.

479
00:35:02,700 --> 00:35:03,380
I'll wait a second.

480
00:35:03,900 --> 00:35:04,780
Thank you, Jeff.

481
00:35:05,200 --> 00:35:06,020
Is there any discussion?

482
00:35:08,990 --> 00:35:10,130
Seeing no discussion.

483
00:35:10,390 --> 00:35:11,930
All in favor, please say hi.

484
00:35:12,570 --> 00:35:12,970
Hi.

485
00:35:12,970 --> 00:35:15,010
any opposed?

486
00:35:17,110 --> 00:35:18,990
Okay, that motion passes.

487
00:35:19,250 --> 00:35:19,870
Thank you.

488
00:35:20,370 --> 00:35:22,930
We now will move to review policy

489
00:35:22,930 --> 00:35:24,870
to CCR poll groups.

490
00:35:25,090 --> 00:35:26,010
Or is that Ii?

491
00:35:26,390 --> 00:35:27,130
It's Ii.

492
00:35:27,290 --> 00:35:28,150
It's so confusing.

493
00:35:28,710 --> 00:35:30,010
Yes, it is policy Ii.

494
00:35:31,070 --> 00:35:33,110
And honestly, this is just a review.

495
00:35:33,330 --> 00:35:34,270
We updated the formatting.

496
00:35:34,290 --> 00:35:37,970
It's been since 2015 that we review this policy.

497
00:35:38,170 --> 00:35:39,550
And so when I updated the formatting,

498
00:35:39,770 --> 00:35:41,010
I thought it would be a good idea to

499
00:35:41,010 --> 00:35:46,370
for us to look at it. Again, not much has changed in the area of college and career readiness,

500
00:35:46,650 --> 00:35:52,250
but I would like to point out that something we do that the other schools don't is we have

501
00:35:52,250 --> 00:35:59,450
the allowance to have group CCRs with our students on occasion. We choose not to. We do individual CCRs

502
00:35:59,450 --> 00:36:06,790
with all of our students every single year. Our ratio of counselors to students right now is about

503
00:36:06,790 --> 00:36:12,870
one to two hundred which is lower than the state average significantly lower than

504
00:36:12,870 --> 00:36:16,910
the state average and so we're able to give a personal connection to all of

505
00:36:16,910 --> 00:36:20,310
our students and I'm really grateful for the work that our counselors do with

506
00:36:20,310 --> 00:36:25,410
our students. I've worked, I've witnessed them working crisis management and some

507
00:36:25,410 --> 00:36:28,330
other situations that have even already occurred at the beginning of the

508
00:36:28,330 --> 00:36:32,710
school year and they do a wonderful job. I'm also happy to announce that we have

509
00:36:32,710 --> 00:36:37,750
social worker on board this year that we were able to contract with a group up in Salt Lake

510
00:36:37,750 --> 00:36:43,750
so that we have someone who is not hourly who's actually contracted for a certain number

511
00:36:43,750 --> 00:36:48,910
of time at a set rate for the year and I'm really excited to have her start to integrate into

512
00:36:48,910 --> 00:36:57,530
our program as well for our comprehensive guidance. Any questions? And I apologize, I just noticed

513
00:36:57,530 --> 00:36:59,510
and I will make this change. This is an edit.

514
00:37:02,230 --> 00:37:05,370
Some of them template. So I'm going to fix the table in

515
00:37:05,370 --> 00:37:07,450
contents. I just noticed that.

516
00:37:13,740 --> 00:37:17,400
So be aware before finalizing. I'll fix that. This is just a first read.

517
00:37:18,120 --> 00:37:24,720
This is actually there are no edits on here. I just missed a copy and paste when I moved it to the new

518
00:37:24,720 --> 00:37:29,780
format there. And so I don't have any changes. It's more of a review and less as the board reviewed it.

519
00:37:29,780 --> 00:37:31,300
their in-walks and changes made.

520
00:37:35,610 --> 00:37:37,410
I think because I was reading through that language

521
00:37:37,410 --> 00:37:38,510
feels pretty standard.

522
00:37:38,510 --> 00:37:40,510
There wasn't anything that I saw that needed

523
00:37:40,510 --> 00:37:42,810
to be a bit or addressed.

524
00:37:43,370 --> 00:37:46,210
Were there any thoughts from anyone else?

525
00:37:51,610 --> 00:37:54,330
If none of them will ask for a motion,

526
00:37:54,570 --> 00:37:55,670
or no, we don't need to prove this

527
00:37:55,670 --> 00:37:56,950
because we didn't change anything.

528
00:37:57,350 --> 00:37:58,390
So, it's a good review.

529
00:37:59,270 --> 00:38:02,330
The next policy we are looking for,

530
00:38:02,590 --> 00:38:03,390
we're doing a review.

531
00:38:03,670 --> 00:38:05,550
What are we seeking an approval of this time

532
00:38:05,550 --> 00:38:11,730
as long as it's original. If the board is comfortable on making this approval for a small change

533
00:38:11,730 --> 00:38:16,270
at this time, that's fine if they want to bring it back for a second read then we can go that route.

534
00:38:17,170 --> 00:38:22,770
So this is our dress code policy. Of all of our policies, this is probably the one we brought back

535
00:38:22,770 --> 00:38:29,110
to the board more than any other policy that we have between student appeals and other things that we

536
00:38:29,110 --> 00:38:39,270
have. But this is one, just as professional standards have changed and adapted, evolved

537
00:38:39,270 --> 00:38:44,310
is the word I'm looking for. In our community, we thought that it was probably time to also

538
00:38:44,310 --> 00:38:51,310
adopt, evolve our dress code policy. And so I am asking permission to change the Burbage

539
00:38:51,310 --> 00:38:55,790
in Section 2.3 from floating Shelby Warrant to cover the shoulder's chest mid or from

540
00:38:55,790 --> 00:39:01,270
back to. Topps must provide full shoulder coverage with shoulder straps or sleeves at

541
00:39:01,270 --> 00:39:05,790
least 3 inches wide. Clothing must fully cover undergarments and may not expose the

542
00:39:05,790 --> 00:39:12,110
midra chest or back during normal school activities. In practice, what this would allow

543
00:39:12,110 --> 00:39:18,650
is for our students to wear essentially a tank top as long as it had a 3-inch wide strap

544
00:39:18,650 --> 00:39:26,250
on it and as long as the cut underneath the arm was not so gapy that it caused exposure

545
00:39:26,250 --> 00:39:27,430
of the midropper back.

546
00:39:34,680 --> 00:39:38,060
Does the board have any questions, comments and concerns regarding

547
00:39:38,060 --> 00:39:39,560
this change of language?

548
00:39:45,820 --> 00:39:51,580
If there aren't any concern or questions, I would be okay with

549
00:39:51,580 --> 00:39:58,120
us speaking to approve this dress code unless we feel we'd like to continue to review it and

550
00:40:01,470 --> 00:40:04,650
In item 2.4, was there a slight change there?

551
00:40:06,090 --> 00:40:07,510
Honestly, it's more of a clarification.

552
00:40:07,830 --> 00:40:09,170
That's how we've been enforcing it.

553
00:40:09,270 --> 00:40:12,890
We just wanted to update policy to make it clear where it says mid-bye.

554
00:40:13,050 --> 00:40:14,510
What do you actually mean by mid-bye?

555
00:40:14,750 --> 00:40:16,830
And so that gives us more of a concrete definition.

556
00:40:17,390 --> 00:40:18,250
Okay, sounds good.

557
00:40:19,290 --> 00:40:20,630
I think this is a good change.

558
00:40:25,330 --> 00:40:25,630
All right.

559
00:40:25,950 --> 00:40:28,830
Well, then, if we have no additional questions or comments,

560
00:40:28,830 --> 00:40:34,990
Do I have a motion to approve policy to be addressed in rooming?

561
00:40:35,630 --> 00:40:40,630
This is Clark and I would be happy to make the motion that we approve the policy to be addressed

562
00:40:40,630 --> 00:40:43,430
and grooming as it has been presented to us.

563
00:40:44,490 --> 00:40:45,250
Thank you, Clark.

564
00:40:45,410 --> 00:40:46,110
Do we have a second?

565
00:40:52,300 --> 00:40:53,080
Trisha Hall.

566
00:40:53,380 --> 00:40:54,020
Hello, seconded.

567
00:40:54,660 --> 00:40:55,380
Thank you, Theresa.

568
00:40:55,900 --> 00:40:56,620
Is there any discussion?

569
00:40:59,930 --> 00:41:01,910
Seeing no discussion, all in favor?

570
00:41:02,290 --> 00:41:03,030
Please say hi.

571
00:41:03,890 --> 00:41:04,070
Hi.

572
00:41:04,230 --> 00:41:04,430
Hi.

573
00:41:05,110 --> 00:41:06,650
Any opposed to make?

574
00:41:08,800 --> 00:41:10,520
Great, that motion passes.

575
00:41:12,000 --> 00:41:14,720
Crystal Derbidge, do we have any additional items

576
00:41:14,720 --> 00:41:17,060
or do you think that you have session today?

577
00:41:18,180 --> 00:41:20,120
I just had two items.

578
00:41:20,360 --> 00:41:22,080
One is I wanted to update the board

579
00:41:22,080 --> 00:41:24,560
that we've completed our audit last week.

580
00:41:24,560 --> 00:41:25,740
It went really well.

581
00:41:26,360 --> 00:41:28,500
At the moment, there's just a few minor things

582
00:41:28,500 --> 00:41:31,240
that we're sending in like this fraud risk assessment.

583
00:41:31,400 --> 00:41:36,100
We have to send in, but I do feel that it went successful.

584
00:41:36,100 --> 00:41:41,420
and so just so you know that's complete we'll have a report coming into you in

585
00:41:41,420 --> 00:41:46,080
the next couple of months to go over that. The second thing as part of cleaning

586
00:41:46,080 --> 00:41:49,660
up last year and going into the new year we are removing signers from the bank

587
00:41:49,660 --> 00:41:56,080
accounts that are no longer employees or on the board to specific is our

588
00:41:56,080 --> 00:42:01,040
loanger and another is Mary Serene being. So those two signers we need to remove

589
00:42:01,040 --> 00:42:03,900
from the accounts. Are there any questions about that?

590
00:42:08,410 --> 00:42:09,690
That's all I have do you?

591
00:42:09,690 --> 00:42:11,430
I have a couple of updates.

592
00:42:11,750 --> 00:42:14,650
First of all, we were looking really carefully at our calendar,

593
00:42:15,230 --> 00:42:18,610
and based on the windows that they have given us to administer the ACT

594
00:42:18,610 --> 00:42:21,370
on our original Oak Group calendar from last November,

595
00:42:21,550 --> 00:42:23,010
it said our ACT was tentative.

596
00:42:23,450 --> 00:42:26,310
It is no longer tentative, but I want to make you aware that on there,

597
00:42:26,370 --> 00:42:28,010
it was tentative for March 3rd.

598
00:42:28,010 --> 00:42:30,010
It is now solid for March 10th.

599
00:42:30,390 --> 00:42:32,290
So we were moving that ACT day.

600
00:42:33,210 --> 00:42:36,650
There also was some confusion on the Board of Group calendar

601
00:42:36,650 --> 00:42:41,010
based on what was published, and I just want to make it clear, we'll put this out in our newsletter as well.

602
00:42:42,090 --> 00:42:46,930
That spring break this year is, I'm going to get you the exact,

603
00:42:50,180 --> 00:42:52,680
it is March 15th through the 19th,

604
00:42:52,680 --> 00:42:56,940
and there was a confusion where some thought that it was approved for March 8th through the 12th.

605
00:42:57,080 --> 00:42:59,340
So it is that next week, 15th through the 19th.

606
00:42:59,620 --> 00:43:03,000
I get both clarified that in our newsletter.

607
00:43:03,760 --> 00:43:05,960
And then just a couple things to keep on your radar.

608
00:43:05,960 --> 00:43:10,760
we are working on negotiations with a new lease with the EU because of our increased facilities

609
00:43:10,760 --> 00:43:17,140
so that will be coming up in the next month or so. And then also we are going to be

610
00:43:17,140 --> 00:43:22,160
experiencing a contract review with the State Charter School Board for our contract. And we're

611
00:43:22,160 --> 00:43:27,700
not unique to that. This is something they're implementing across the state. And so Dr. Ross and I

612
00:43:27,700 --> 00:43:34,140
will meet with members of the State Charter School Board to review items from our agreement with them

613
00:43:34,140 --> 00:43:38,120
to make sure that you're in compliance and we'll give you a report on how to do it.

614
00:43:40,020 --> 00:43:40,680
That's all I have.

615
00:43:42,320 --> 00:43:42,800
Great.

616
00:43:43,360 --> 00:43:48,340
Thank you to Tara for all of your hard work regarding finances and maintaining those accounts.

617
00:43:48,580 --> 00:43:52,120
I really, really appreciate everything that you do and appreciate all the rich.

618
00:43:52,720 --> 00:43:59,000
Thank you for all of your hard work and helping to coordinate this transition to our new buildings.

619
00:43:59,440 --> 00:43:59,920
It's exciting.

620
00:44:00,980 --> 00:44:09,480
and Vice Principal Jensen were very excited to have both of you working with our faculty and students here at UCAS.

621
00:44:09,840 --> 00:44:15,900
So thank you, thank you everyone for being here. If you have any questions, please let us know otherwise.

622
00:44:16,780 --> 00:44:18,080
We will have you all next month.

623
00:44:19,420 --> 00:44:22,720
Are we still going to do the board meeting in Marshall and Oversham?

624
00:44:23,100 --> 00:44:26,780
That's a great question.

625
00:44:27,280 --> 00:44:33,060
We will either move the board meeting or cancel it, and I think we'll go better as we get closer.

626
00:44:36,530 --> 00:44:37,470
Thank you for that.

627
00:44:38,190 --> 00:44:38,590
All right.

628
00:44:39,090 --> 00:44:40,230
Is there no additional questions?

629
00:44:40,850 --> 00:44:43,270
Thank you for being here, and I will see you all next week.

630
00:44:43,930 --> 00:44:45,530
We need a motion to adjourn.

631
00:44:45,730 --> 00:44:46,490
Oh, I'm sorry.

632
00:44:46,870 --> 00:44:47,250
You're okay.

633
00:44:48,230 --> 00:44:50,050
Are you making the motion?

634
00:44:50,330 --> 00:44:50,650
You can.

635
00:44:51,470 --> 00:44:52,410
Thank you, Brick.

636
00:44:55,570 --> 00:44:56,370
Thank you.

637
00:44:57,030 --> 00:44:57,910
Thank you.

638
00:44:58,210 --> 00:44:58,270
Thank you.

639
00:44:58,530 --> 00:44:59,330
Thank you.

640
00:44:59,330 --> 00:44:59,890
And

641
00:45:00,530 --> 00:45:05,910
Thank you very much. What was that? Thank you.
