Re: November Monthly Report
The month of November was one of the most active months in our school during the 2009-2010 school year. The highlights of the month are as follows:
November 10, 2009 - The Foundation held its monthly meeting and has moved forward with a letter campaign, which will go out this month. This is phase I of our efforts at supporting our budget with outside funding.
November 12, 2009 – The first Expansion Task Force meeting was held. A strong turnout of interested participants will lead to a monthly attempt at preparing the school for expansion.
November 7, 2009 – A successful auction was held at the Tedesco Country Club. It was an active, enjoyable evening. Many thanks to Eileen Perry and Pamela Haley for a job well done.
November 17,18,19, 2009 – A charter renewal visit took place on these dates. It is obvious since our last visit, that solid recovery has taken place. The enrollment and waiting list is at capacity. The curriculum, instruction and assessment model is solid and allows students to participate in an active learning environment. I am pleased that the school is safe, orderly and pleasant.
November 23, 2009 – The first annual Exhibition of our students work was held, and as always a standing room only crowd was in attendance.
In conclusion, we will be seeking a quality report on our renewal application. Since our last visit, we have dealt with our Leadership/Governance issues and feel that our former weakness is now our strength. The school has handled adversity, grown from it, and now awaits expansion and growth. My congratulations to the Board, Nina and the staff for a quality turnaraound.
P.S. Thanksgiving allows us the opportunity to say thank you to a professional competent Board, A dedicated committed staff, reflective intelligent students, and finally a concerned involved group of parents. To all,
Thank you.

Curricular Innovations:
MCCPS received a grant of $16,000 from the Gelfand Family Charitable Trust to fund our adoption of the KnowAtom Science Program for grades 4 & 5. This program is standards-driven, hands-on, and performance-based (just like MCCPS). We expect that it will enable us to provide an even higher level of learning experiences for our students.
The ELA/Math Initiative has resulted in improved student achievement in these subjects for most of the participants. The instructors, Ida Bazarova and Kay O’Dwyer, the Math/Science Department Chair, Rebecca Perry, and I have been meeting to review data related to student progress. Reports will be sent next week to the parents of participating students.
Fundraising:
Annual Auction - Parents have asked how the money raised from the auction will be used. I have explained that because the school is expected to raise $20,000 (that will be used as part of next year’s operating budget), that the administration is hesitant to spend this money until the obligation is met.
Grants - A grant was received from the Peter and Elizabeth C. Tower Foundation for $2072 for identified science equipment. The order has been placed, and the items should be in the classrooms soon.
Donation – An anonymous donation of $10,000 was received. Part of the money will be used (as requested by the donor) to support a dramatic production this school year. Some of the money will be used to address technology needs in the classrooms and computer lab.
Site Visit:
We should receive a preliminary report soon. The inspection team seemed more than satisfied with the documentation that we provided, the classroom visits, and the focus groups. Many contributed to the success of this site visit; thank you.

Hi Emil
My apologies for the lack of a response to your last email.
Things are going very well and appreciate the kind words.
Re: my standing as a Board member, it seems best that I resign.
Thus, please accept this as my letter of resignation. Please pass my best wishes to the Board and the greater MCCPS community. I miss all of you much and thank you, Emil, in particular for all your great efforts and leadership.

The Expansion Task Force has been assembled and has had one meeting on November 12, 2009. The goals and objectives were re-introduced and were sourced from meeting minutes of the Board of Trustees earlier motions to establish a continuing effort to pursue expansion possibilities by developing a plan, overseeing the work, identifying issues, quantifying savings and expenditures, tracking the schedule, making recommendations, evaluating its work and developing policies and procedures as necessary.
The committee revisited the outcome of the Blue Ribbon Task Force. It was clarified in the meeting that the intention was not to resurface issues that were already addressed but rather to move forward with the recommendation which is to "Expand the school, enter into a lease for the additional space for 17 Lime Stre; to add to sections of third grade, and to increase enrollment by 50 students, all with the intent to begin accepting students in the new grade and space for the 2011-2012 school year".
Key milestones were surfaced in the meeting and have contributed to a skeletal project plan upon which to establish details and to track progress and critical path dependencies. The draft architectural design was distributed for our review and consideration.
Outside of the meeting, I have prepared the proposed dashboard in order for the Board of Trustees to provide a measurable framework within which the task force can proceed with further analysis and definition of the important factors that would yield a successful end result.
Please forward this update and attachments to any other vested parties.
Regards,
Laura

Re: Finance Report
The Charter School has entered the second quarter of the academic year ahead of plan. As of month end October, we have budgeted a surplus of $17 thousand. The actual surplus is $103 thousand. We are presently $86 thousand ahead of plan, but some of the budgeted expenses such as insurance payments (these are not spread out evenly over the year) and utilities have not yet been realized. The administration will need to watch the expenses closely as we move through the second quarter to ensure that we’re within budget.
We are still presently waiting to hear from the state as to our second quarterly payment. The finance committee is still committed to a raise for teachers that were here last year and continue to work at the school. The amount will be determined based on the check in December. In the meantime, Fin Com approved the allocation of $4,950 for payments to teachers that have been doing enrichments for Term 2. Fin Com also approved the Personnel Committee’s request for $5,000 to begin the search for a Managing Director.
Our administrators and faculty have also been working hard on grants. Over $18,000 grants have been provided to assist in (one grant for $16,000) sciences and also in special education ($2,000). Fin Com was also made aware that an anonymous donation of $10,000 has been made. I appreciate the hard work of our faculty and administration and the generosity of the donor.
The auction was also a great success. I have been told that it looks as though we will raise a net of $18,000. I want to thank all that donated and bid on the multitude of items as well as Eileen Perry and Pam Haley for all of their hard work.
Our annual audit is also in full gear. My wish is to have the audit to the board for our January meeting. Fin Com will also be soliciting new auditors for our next year’s budget. I hope to have several RFPs in place after the first of the year.
The loan restructuring is currently on hold until the Charter Renewal process is complete. I suspect that we’ll need to run at this issue, at the earliest, at the end of January.
As we end the year, I would also like to thank all those that have served on Fin Com this year: Francesco Rietti, Ira Keller, Peter Jalbert, John McEnaney, Jed O’Connor, Matt Cronin, Jeff Barry, Emil Ronchi, Dr. Argenziano, Nina Cullen-Hamzeh. I appreciate their time commitment to the Finance Committee and their dedication to the continued financial stability of the school.

The only tasker met was the submission of the previous month’s notes on proposed goals and measures for the Managing Director for 2010-2011 (See Attachment #1). The Chair also announced the resignation of Elizabeth Lutwak from the Committee.
Next the Committee discussed the process for advertising for a full time Managing Director for MCCPS. The discussion led to the Committee creating an ad to be placed in various employment search outlets (See Attachment #2). The Committee decided to have the Chair make a motion at the December 3, 2009 Board of Trustees meeting to begin the search process and for $5K to support the search.
The Committee then reviewed the rewritten draft of the 2009-10 Academic Director Goals and Measures. The Committee approved the draft and set the February 2, 2010 PC Meeting as the date for the Academic Director’s initial evaluation.
The rest of the meeting was used to continue discussion on creating an evaluation tool for the MCCPS Managing Director. The Chair suggested aligning the evaluation with the Academic Director’s as much as possible, because many of the previously identified goal headings (See Attachment #1) were general areas of interest in the AD document. The Committee discussed what qualities they thought were most important in the search, and in no particular order, they identified, embracing the MCCPS educational philosophy, ability to manage the budget/facility, ability to attract significant financial support through the creation of an effective development program. The discussion ended without the creation of a MD evaluation tool.
Action Item: The Chair will make a motion at the next Board Meeting to begin the MD search process and ask for $5K to support the search
Action Item: Katie Sullivan will develop a draft MD survey based on current discussion for the Committee to review and refine for the future. The survey will help provide data for evaluation and will eventually be combined with the AD survey.
Action Item: The Chair will send the proposed MD wanted ad to Molly Wright for future deployment. He will also send the MD job description to Matt Cronin for the MCCPS website.
Action Item: The Chair, using PC member input, will continue creating a draft MD Goal/Indicator for Committee use.
The Chair adjourned the meeting at 9:00PM. The next meeting will be held on Jan 7, 2010 at 7:30 PM.
Respectfully Submitted
Robert Sousa
