PUBLIC NOTICE MEETING MINUTES Pursuant of Utah State Law American Academy of Innovation Board of Directors Board Meeting Calendar TIME: 7:00 PM DATE: August 10th 2016 LOCATION: Herriman Library Present Scott Jones, Jenny Williams, Mia Prazen, Julie Goldklang, Rodayne Esmay, Shawn Perkins, Zakia Richardson AGENDA Approve minutes from last week Julie motion to approve, Shawn 2 nd all in favor Director's Report (enrollment, future events, teacher meeting, other assignments) 8/11 Added a couple new students today from the lottery. Slow but steady. We are ready to move into the building and get this party started. We had a good walk through today. Student chairs will be arriving tomorrow and will begin front office hours on Monday officially and staff development. 8/10 Lost (3) that were brand new enrolled on Monday. They were accepted into another charter or decided to stay at current school and (1) that had fully enrolled and an 11th grader who want to stay with friends.
8/9 We gained (1) new enrollment in lottery today. Better news is the completed packets jumped up to (192) 8/8 1. (12) New student registrations received on 8/1 lottery then we lost (10) students during that week due to moves and students wanting to stay at current school. 2. (11) new enrollments on 8/8 lottery. (registrar keeps track of this in a spreadsheet) 3. The gap between 184/220 are majority 7-8 grade families that haven t fully completed sending in student records but Jenny H. (registrar) has communicated will all of them and gathering documents daily. 95% have responded that they are firm on attending just busy or not comfortable sending the documents electronically/email. Jenny has been driving to family s homes when this is a concern to finalize enrollment. 4. The consistent efforts that the front office staff has given to making direct communication with the families who have not completed enrollment process has also purged the list of fence sitters. I believe we are at a solid 220 right now. We should see a steady increase in enrollment over the next two weeks without equal amount in drop outs. Now that summer is wrapping up, families are coming back from vacations and making school decisions and the trend should swing up and not stay flat.
5. One thing we will change this week is not waiting to do a lottery once a week. I will have them accept all new enrollments daily and get acceptance communication to them so they know they have a secured spot. Also call them to make personal contact and address any questions.
