March 2026 Board Meeting Minutes

March 12, 2026  Time: 8:00 PM

1.  Enrollment Update for 2026/2027 School Year

  • 12 for Toddler House

  • 21-22 Children’s House

2.  Financial Update

  • Need to determine and stick to stable enrollment numbers

  • 2 main goals

    1. Be able to increase salaries for teachers

    2. Get LCM on a sustainable footing

  • Last fiscal year, we were - $20K, and we are now in a better but still not stable position and can find ways to minimize expenses (automating certain tasks and expenses) and keep tuition stable by keeping enrollment numbers at max.

3.  Fundraising Updates/Planning

  • Not a lot of prep needed for Earth Day Fundraiser, aside from parent communication on how the fundraiser will work.

  • Will get all information out to families by the end of the first week of April to be able to start identifying target participants (i.e., Friends, Family, Community Members, etc.)

  • Announce an individual student goal as a number to have everyone work towards and to recruit their sponsors accordingly ($250-300 per student)

  • Annie May is spearheading another potential fundraiser, creating student-art t-shirts.

  • Culver’s Fundraiser potential date of May 12th or May 19th

4.  Volunteer

  • Annie May is leading efforts in organizing parent volunteer opportunities and getting information to parents about when, where, and how they can help.

  • Creating a new system for logging volunteer hours, moving to a points system in a more organized cadence so we can efficiently track and monitor volunteers, and remind families that there is an opt-out fee, or fee that will be applied if no volunteer hours/points are logged

New business/Announcements
