What's Happening with the Board

Well the Board does not have scheduled meetings from the end of June through most of August, so we are now re-starting our committee meetings.

Facilities - the big focus is in examining options for purchasing and installing a security and communication system for the North Campus. We need to gain control of who has access to each part of our facilities. Protecting the children and our assets is very important to us and installing mechanisms to know who has entered the facilities and when as well as restricting what access they have will go a long way to improving that situation.

Finance - first we must make sure we are adjusting to the lower enrollment and secondly we will evaluate the results and response to the consultant's study of our pre-school operations. Note that since we have prepared appropriately, we will still be able to fund the pay increases that we had planned for the faculty and we will look for means to balance the budget in other areas.

Development - with the anticipation that the money designated to engage someone to help us with development will be cut to help deal with lower enrollment, we need to adjust plans and determine a new course of action.

Planning - per the plan that has been in the works for some time, we will continue to work on the succession plans for our leadership. In addition, we will focus on planning for the day long work session the Board will have on October 1st.

Our next Board meeting is September 1st, so look for an update on our work after that meeting. Please pray for us as we work on these important matters.
