During a recent government meeting, discussions ranged from heartfelt tributes to staff members to the future of GP Flex Elementary. The meeting opened with a reflection on a recent celebration honoring long-serving district employees, where attendees shared stories and expressed appreciation for their contributions. The atmosphere was one of camaraderie, despite the somber news of the passing of baseball legend Willie Mays, which was acknowledged by attendees.

Superintendent reports highlighted ongoing efforts to revitalize GP Flex Elementary, which has struggled to attract families. Concerns were raised about the lack of incentives for homeschool families, who prefer not to come on campus. Superintendent emphasized the need for a \"hook\" to draw families in, noting that previous attempts had not been successful.

The conversation shifted to potential partnerships, particularly with My Tech High, which has offered to increase its support from 30% to 53%. This partnership could provide a framework for GP Flex Elementary to operate more effectively, allowing the district to learn and adapt over the next year. However, the Superintendent expressed caution about the challenges of implementing these changes within a tight timeframe, particularly with the upcoming school year just weeks away.

Overall, the meeting underscored the district's commitment to improving educational options while navigating the complexities of funding and family engagement.
