Superintendent's Update

I would like to Thank Mr. Sulaiman and Dr. Davis for meeting the Commission and walking thorough the building on the safety walkthrough.

Thank you to Ms. Howell for making sure that she submitted the required Monitoring documentation to the Commission. She worked really hard and was here really late ensuring that we made the deadline.

Thank you to Dr. Davis for always being on point and for being so knowledgeable about process and procedures. Also for creating documents and plans on the fly.

School Leader Report

@Charles Jones how is the culture with the teachers. Are they getting into the groove and making things happen.

Dr. Davis, they are still learning and trying to keep their heads above the water because a lot of what they are doing or being asked to do is very new to them. We just finished our TYKES evaluations. Lesson plans and unit plans are being submitted every week. We come al long ways and have a long ways to go but we just have to be consistent and keep moving forward.

Fundraising Discussion and Update

Pardes, I brought a gentlemen in to pick his brain regarding development and fundraising. We need the board to submit updated bios, pictures so we can create a PR code that will provide digital data. We had a meeting with Operations to discuss the needs of the team. The number 1 item was transportation. 2 options are contracted services, an actual school bus and smaller vans that do not require special licenses. We decided that the best option was smaller vans and we would create specific stops for student transportation. 2. Scholastic Book Room. 3. Having the Thanksgiving luncheon sponsored so that there would not be a charge to families 4. Over drawn lunch accounts that are sitting on the books from previous years 5. $1,500 league fee for both the boys and girls 6. Uniform sponsorship

Practices will be for 1 hour, hopefully the organization that Coach Mauzy is working with will allow us to use their facility for free from 3-4 pm. Also, Ms. Howell shared an Amazon wishlist with us. Please share with your networks.

Dr. Davis they are going to look at GA Milestone growth going all the way back to 3rd grade and moving forward for each thereafter.
