To open a PayPal Account for SLAM Academy of Atlanta

The Board discussed ensuring that the PayPal account be opened as an account for Non Profit Businesses.
Review/Discussion of the Recruitment/Marketing Plan
This plan was basically in place from last year and we wanted to revise it for our needs this year. The Mall Westend, Parks and UpperCuts Barber shop were very fruitful last year. Ms. Louizi visited the Barber Shop on yesterday and they are very supportive and have offered to do free haircuts for Back To School. We are planning on canvassing this whole area so that SLAM becomes a household name.
Two APS District schools that have closed this school year. We have already contacted the property managers and they are very excited about us reaching out to them to make parents aware that SLAM has open seats for the upcoming school year.

School Leader Report
We closed the year out and 2018-2019 is now under our belt. We out performed the state on Math and Reading on the GKIDS assessment and in some categories we outperformed the State by 100%. Pre-K Transition meeting coming up next Thursday. This is mandatory for each District. All Pre-K and Day Care centers are being invited to come and participate. We submitted our proposed enrollment numbers to the Commission and we are currently at 90 students. All offer letters have been sent and employee's have until Friday, June 24th to respond. We are now in full blown recruitment with a ton of events on the Calendar so that we get the word out about the SLAM model.
@Altrenesha Ervin did you create an event on EventBright announcing the Pre-K Transition so that it can be posted on the SLAM Website, FaceBook and Instagram sites? How are we marketing this event to registered parents as well as potential parents who are not registered?
