EPIC board approves temporary enrollment cap, Pathways application and December financials
Summary
At a special meeting, the EPIC ONE ON ONE CHARTER SCHOOL board approved a temporary cap on new enrollment to avoid late-term teacher hires, approved an application for Pathways students and accepted the district's December financial statements; roll call showed three yes votes and two absences on each action.
At a special meeting, the EPIC ONE ON ONE CHARTER SCHOOL Board of Directors approved a temporary cap on new student enrollment, approved the application for Pathways students and accepted the district's financial statements for the period ending Dec. 31, 2024.
The actions were taken by voice vote with an identical roll-call pattern recorded for each measure: Miss Casper, Mister Hammonds and Mister Beller voted yes; Miss Berry and Miss Myers were recorded as absent.
Board members said the temporary enrollment cap is intended to limit new enrollments ahead of spring state testing, and to avoid hiring additional teachers late in the school year. Board discussion on the cap was brief; a board member said the cap would be removed after the summer school period so enrollment could resume for the next school year.
The Pathways application was presented to the board and a motion to approve it passed with the same recorded roll call. The board did not elaborate further on the Pathways application during the meeting.
In the financial report, the board accepted the December financial statements. EPIC's fund balance in December was reported as just over $6,000,000 and the administration noted the fund balance rose from November. Staff said a January midterm adjustment deposit would cause a large January increase in available funds and that fiscal-year projections otherwise track the revised forecast the district set in the fall. Staff also reported earlier-than-expected spending from the learning fund due to preapproved catalog purchases.
