7. Review of Council’s Stewardship Responsibilities – There was a change in software and at the same time one of the accountants retired.  So right now the actual balance in the school bank accounts are not reflecting the accurate balance. The school is still successfully paying staff and maintaining the approved and expected balance. The accounts will post accordingly as soon as the technical issue has been resolved. The school is still planning on sending five teachers to the National AVID conference but will not send any in the summer as all relevant staff have at this point been fully trained.

There was a question from the SCC about how much money we are allowed to carry over from one year to the next and Julia answered it. She also mentioned that next year we will be expecting to have 80 fewer students. It seems that a lot of the younger students are leaving with their families because rent went up in some of the low income housing and families are having to find different affordable housing. There is also a very high non-re-enrollment rate among immigrant families. We are not sure if it is because they are moving or if it is due to other influences. As a result of the smaller student body it is likely we will lose 2-3 different teachers next year.
