Salt Lake City 'GreenLoop' Presentation / Q&A SLC City Reps 5:40 Green Loop: How can we use our city streets differently? SLC posted pop-ups last summer; concept over a decade Convert network of downtown streets into a linear park; our city is underserved for green space proximity Reallocate some of our wide space to provide urban forest, green space, stormwater treatment , socializing, etc. Improve transportation options - bikes, pedestrians, transit Major Challenges: Transportation, Utilities, Fire Access Last Friday, they met with some of our Student Ambassadors for ideas - they provided many good ones! Public Engagement Survey open right now (2nd one); 200 E from 900 S to South Temple - actively working on now Timing depends on funding, but probably 2 years on groundbreaking and 10 years to this block 4. Principal's Report Deborah Candler 6:05 Accreditation Update - Final meeting with Cognia scheduled for March 5, all seems to be in order. School Land Trust, Final Report for FY23, Presentation to Board Final report is finished. No carryover. Discussed funding use - has been used to fund Jennifer Burrow-Sanchez Discussed salient points. Academic growth is a key topic - exemplary growth, esp in lower achievers/socio-economics (based on RISE scores) Nicole needs to approve in order for Deborah to submit, plus Deborah also needed to present to Board Jennifer Burrow-Sanchez has announced she will not return next year. Stay tuned :) 5. Governance Committee Julie Bartel, et. al 6:25 Board Visibility Would like to have more interaction with Board members (students, faculty/staff, families), plus parents understanding what the Board does. Meet with Ambassadors regularly? Identification at performances? etc. Maybe a sign up so Board members are visible and available to chat more regularly. Connecting dots about which people are actually on the board; being more integrated and recognized and understood in community. Faculty meetings Blurb in eBlasts. Julie - Board is like the Adult Ambassadors at the school Will send email requesting bios - professional and PERSONAL, headshots; updating on website Brainstorming, particularly over email - forward to Katy Should not be much extra work to support this goal Can someone provide a 'Board Corner' in the eBlast begin by introducing members Need a 'cheat sheet' of talking points for helping people/parents who have questions of Board members Abby - two-sentence blurb about what the Board does - boiler plate each blast Will also help with Board recruitment! Nomination for Board Secretary role / description of duties Abby - Greg, John and Abby are on Governing Committee and need a Secretary - attend Board and Committee meetings Katy - Bylaws say we need a Secretary - JenG take notes/recording, Secretary can focus on meeting, JenG forward draft notes to finalize and return for posting Please marinate and get back to us if you are interested. Additional Board nominations for next year 6. Finance Update Nicole Laird, John Bakken 6:40 Form 990 Presented to Board Basically tax form version of audit presented to Board previously; it is published publicly but must be known to Board Budget report - handout Nicole summarized - reports due on Jan 31; W2s have gone out to employees; renewed SAM for federal funds Peloris is going great - Q1 reports went through and it was super slick! Safety grant - window film in, new cameras and environmental sensors are mostly in; can be a capital expense Received a couple grants we weren't expecting, need to be added in Need to begin budget discussions 7. Development / Community Outreach Update Katy Andrews 6:50 Alumni Open House report It was a blast! Thank you to everyone who helped!! About 138 kids signed in - plus more! Katy has contact info for those; teachers said it was a 'bucket-filler'; a lot of kids were home for Winter Holidays and so could come Annual Campaign Update It is struggling a bit - at $62,000 but needs to be at $70,000; would like goal by end of January One big donor wants to give matching grants only; Katy may use part as a carrot for this drive rather than all for SLArts24 Amy - Should we have a closing day? Katy - By a certain day for matching grant to apply Shantel - please attach letter to forward to grandparents, etc. Regular giving is significantly lower than it has been in the past Julie - social media with links and progress 80% of Board has made a gift - please consider Admissions update We have plenty swimming in the lottery - still open for a bit 8.
