8 2019 EXPERIENCED OPERATOR CHARTER APPLICATION ‐ Overview: Virtual School Supplement

This section of the Overview Template only applies to applicants seeking to open a Virtual School. Applicants not applying for a virtual school may ignore this tab.

Virtual Charter Schools have a unique educational model that often does not mirror the model and expectations of a traditional "brick and mortar" charter school. As such, there are parts of the common charter application that apply uniquely to virtual schools. In addition to answering all required questions in the common charter application, Virtual Charter School applicants are required to complete the additional set of questions below about their school model. In addition to your responses below, you may submit supporting documentation in the form of an additional Appendix to the application. This Appendix will not count against the application page limit.

1. In the box below, please describe your plan for orienting new students and parents (both at the beginning of the year and any time during the school year that a student enrolls) to your online charter school. What expectations will you set for them, and how will you communicate these expectations? How will you ensure they transition smoothly to your online environment?

NA

2. What expectations will you set for student and teacher participation and interaction, and how will they be communicated? What systems will be in place to monitor student attendance and participation? How will your school differentiate and measure expectations for student attendance, student engagement, and truancy? What interventions will you develop in response to students who fall short of these expectations?

9 3. How will you ensure that students and families have adequate access to all of the technology necessary to actively engage with the online curriculum? How will you provide technical assistance to students and families? Additionally, how will you ensure that the loss of instructional time will be minimized in the event of unforeseen technical difficulties?

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Community School for Apprenticeship Learning, Inc. (CSAL) is a nonprofit charter school network currently operating two brick-and-mortar schools in Baton Rouge, Louisiana - Community School for Apprenticeship Learning (CSAL) Middle School (grades 6-8) and Madison Preparatory Academy High School (grades 9-12) . In response to demand from current parents and families, CSAL, Inc. respectfully submits this application to operate a new elementary school, CSAL Elementary, to serve students in grades K-5 so that our organization may expand our services to serve the full grade continuum in our community.

Vision: CSAL, Inc’s vision is to be an academic institution providing students with real world experiences by giving them access to alternative forms of instruction, whereby they can become productive citizens.

Outcomes: CSAL Elementary school will maintain the key features of all CSAL schools, building individualized learning pathways for each of our students so they may reach the following goals: ● All graduating 5th graders will leave prepared to enter the 6th grade at or above grade level ● At least 70% of students in grades 3-5 (in which high-stakes state tests are administered) will achieve Mastery or above on English Language Arts, Math, and Social Studies exams ● Annually, student attendance averages will reach or exceed 95%

Scale Strategy: As one of the longest-standing charter management organizations in the state of ​ Louisiana, CSAL has developed a strong, experienced leadership team and codified an instructional model specifically designed to meet the needs of our target population. In 2009, twelve years after opening the doors to our middle school, CSAL expanded to serve high school students. Now, eleven years later, we plan to grow again to serve students in grades K-5. As evident by the pace of our growth, we are careful only to expand when we believe both a need and our capacity to fulfill it exist.

CSAL, Inc. plans to open CSAL Elementary in 2020-2021. Over the next year, we will focus our scaling effort on: 1) Hiring an exceptional, experienced elementary school leader. 2) Training the school leader in the CSAL way by creating an apprenticeship track at our current brick-and-mortar schools. 3) Supporting the school leader in further developing the CSAL Elementary school model, tinkering the instructional methodologies to better fit the needs of younger students, while preserving the core components of the overarching CSAL method. 4) Supporting the school leader in hiring a team of teachers and educational professionals with the skills to implement the new school model.

Our central office team will hire, support, and develop the new Elementary school leader. Our team has the skill, capacity, and evidence of success to execute expansion effectively: ● Dujan Johnson, Chief Executive Officer - A 20+ year educator and CSAL, Inc. team member since inception in 1997, Mr. Johnson is the lead visionary at CSAL. Mr. Johnson will recruit and select the new school leader, support him/her in the development of the cultural components of the elementary school, and assist in building a robust system to manage and support the team at the school level. ● LaMont Cole, Chief Academic Officer - Also a 20+ year educator, Mr. Cole has worked for CSAL, Inc. since 2003, cementing him as the leading expert in the organizations’ educational model. As

3 63 a curriculum and instructional methods expert, Mr. Cole will offer his support to the elementary school leader in developing a school model appropriate for the target student body. ● Jonvia Metevia, Chief Financial Officer / Business Manager - With a 10 year history at CSAL, Inc. in the same role, Ms. Metevia has overseen the financial and operational aspects of the organizations’ past growth efforts. Ms. Metevia and her team will support the new school leader by developing and executing all financial and operational systems and processes necessary to start up for the new school.

Risk Mitigation: As we have before prior expansion efforts, CSAL, Inc.’s team has conducted an analysis of potential threats to our success. Detailed below are some potential risks, along with the steps we plan to take to minimize the possibility of these threats preventing CSAL Elementary from achieving our targeted outcomes. During our start-up year, a central focus of our work will be ensuring that all risks are mitigated prior to opening the doors of our school. 1) Selecting high-quality school leadership - CSAL understands that the quality of a new school leader is the lynchpin of a schools’ success. The CSAL team has already identified several qualified candidates for the elementary school leader role and feels confident in the existing pool. Both the board and CEO will work to build detailed selection criteria to ensure the best candidate is hired. Further, the leadership team has developed a comprehensive training plan to ensure the new school leader has substantial support in developing their ability to implement the CSAL school model. 2) Ensuring full enrollment in year 1 - Second only to quality of leadership, enrollment is one of the largest threats to any new school. Upon approval, CSAL, Inc. will implement a focused student recruitment campaign, starting with the community in our existing schools. CSAL Middle School and Madison Prep High School families have already expressed strong interest in an elementary school program; outreach will be conducted to these families early and often. Additionally, CSAL Elementary will utilize other best practices in student recruitment efforts; including advertising, knocking on doors in the proximity of the new school building, and attending and hosting neighborhood and community events. 3) Ensuring academic quality - Exceptional academic programming is a non-negotiable at any CSAL school. While CSAL, Inc. has improved student achievement at each of our schools, we do not have internal expertise in designing and implementing an elementary program in a brick-and-mortar school. Our first step in ensuring academic quality in the lower grades will be to hire a school leader with a record of leading strong elementary school programs. Additionally, the CSAL, Inc. staff and board will develop clear dashboards for measuring success, so we may track progress at the school and hold the school leader accountable. Finally, the CSAL school model is deliberately designed to include frequent teacher and administration collaboration, analysis of data, and adjustment of curriculum and instructional methods to best meet the needs of children. 4) Maintaining positive authorizer relations - CSAL, Inc. benefits from a positive long-term relationship with East Baton Rouge Parish School System (EBRPSS). And we acknowledge the need to continue to build and strengthen our relationship to ensure the success of our students. CSAL, Inc. commits to continued partnership with EBRPSS; including regular progress reporting and invitations to tour our new school.

4 64 PAST SCHOOL PERFORMANCE

Community School for Apprenticeship Learning, Inc. (CSAL) is a nonprofit charter school network currently operating two brick-and-mortar schools in Baton Rouge, Louisiana - Community School for Apprenticeship Learning (CSAL) Middle School (grades 6-8) and Madison Preparatory Academy High School (grades 9-12). CSAL is interested in expanding to serve grades K-5 because of the demand from children, parents, and families who attend these successful middle and high school programs. We also believe that by serving the full K-12 continuum, we will be able to increase the overall academic performance across all three of our schools.

CSAL, Inc. also provides contracted regulatory oversight for a third school - Louisiana Virtual Charter Academy (LAVCA). LAVCA is a K-12 virtual academy serving students across the state of Louisiana. The school is operated by a contracted third-party educational services provider, K12.

Because the student population of the proposed K-5 will mimic the population in our brick-and-mortar schools, this section of the application focuses on the past performance of CSAL Middle School and Madison Preparatory Academy high school. The academic track record of our virtual program is detailed in the Experienced Operator Overview enclosure. We welcome additional questions regarding our relationship with LAVCA.

Below is a brief overview of our two brick-and-mortar schools:

Academic Performance: Historically, CSAL Middle School and Madison Preparatory Academy have ​ outperformed the district and state averages across multiple measures of student performance.

5 65 CSAL Middle School’s School Performance Score, the main metric of school success in Louisiana, was on a steady rise between 2014-2017. In 2018, the calculation of the score shifted, resulting in a drop in scores statewide, including at CSAL Middle:

Overall, student English Language Arts, Math, and Social Studies scores at CSAL Middle are lower than district and state averages. CSAL, Inc. believes this is evidence of the fact that many students enter CSAL Middle well below grade level. Our middle school program focuses on teaching our students basic skills and readying them for entry into Madison Preparatory Academy, our high school program, where they eventually excel. A central purpose for opening our elementary program will be to catch students earlier in their academic career, so they may enter CSAL Middle on grade level.

2017-2018 LEAP 2025 Assessment Results: Percent of Tests Scoring Mastery and Above Combining ELA, Math and Social Studies 2017 % Mastery + 2018 % Mastery + Grades 3-8 Grades 3-8 CSAL Middle School 19 23 East Baton Rouge Parish Average 27 30 Louisiana Average 33 34

Madison Preparatory Academy, CSAL, Inc.’s high school, has the highest overall rate for students enrolling in college for all non-selective admission high schools in East Baton Rouge Parish. It surpasses the average state and East Baton Rouge Parish School System's college acceptance rates of African American and economically disadvantaged students. It is only outranked by Baton Rouge Magnet High School, the premiere selective admissions magnet high school in the district.

2016-2017 College Enrollment Rates

In 2016-2017 Madison Prep (and CSAL, Inc.’s Virtual Academy, LAVCA) also boasted composite ACT scores above state and local averages:

What’s more, while most high schools in Louisiana are seeing flat or modest ACT improvements over time, Madison Prep has shown tremendous ACT growth over the past 5 years, particularly for African American students:

School Performance Scores (SPS) are a year-end measure of student performance on a scale from 0 to 150 that include state assessment data and, for high schools, graduation rates and ACT test scores. The formula is updated from time to time to include metrics for student progress. Between 2014 - 2017, when the SPS formula was relatively consistent, CSAL and Madison Prep showed improved school performance scores well above the average in the geographic region, East Baton Rouge Parish:

In 2018, the SPS formula changed, making the metric an apples to oranges comparison with prior years. However, it is notable that both Madison Prep and CSAL continued to outperform the local district using this new formula:

8 68

The goal of CSAL, Inc. and of our proposed elementary school to serve predominantly under-resourced student populations, such as students of color and economically disadvantaged students. As such, it is noteworthy that each of our existing schools performed at or above the state average in 2018 student progress across these subgroups.

At CSAL Middle School, the current entry point for students into our program, students in subgroups are performing at or just above state averages:

After building their foundational skills at CSAL Elementary, more than 90% of students matriculate to our high school program, Madison Prep, where they begin to thrive academically. At Madison Prep, economically disadvantaged and students of color are radically outperforming their peers in the state:

9 69

Further, Madison Prep exceeds the state and district average graduation and college enrollment rates:

Because of the strong academic growth we see over time through our current grade 6 - 12 continuum, we know that by starting to serve younger students we will be able to meet student needs earlier in their education trajectory, putting them on a path to success well before they reach middle school.

Operational and Financial Performance: CSAL, Inc. understands that operational and financial success is ​ critical to strong student outcomes. To date, we’ve demonstrated our ability to maintain financially and operationally healthy, compliant schools. For details on CSAL’s compliance with state operational and financial standards, see below:

CSAL’s virtual school recently underwent the renewal process. During contract negotiations, some performance deficiencies were highlighted. Similar to virtual schools across the country, LAVACA serves a student population radically different from those in brick-and-mortar schools. LAVACA was renewed by the state and will continue to improve academic outcomes for all students it serves. Further, the school plans to work with the state to determine accountability metrics that are more appropriate for the specialized program and it’s student population.

11 71 ACADEMICS

Proposed Student Population: CSAL’s brick-and-mortar schools, CSAL Middle School and Madison ​ Preparatory Academy High School (Madison Prep), currently educate a student population reflective of the public school student body across East Baton Rouge Parish. Details regarding the student body at each of these schools in the most recent school year (2017-2018) compared to the assumed student body at CSAL Elementary are below:

Total # of % Economically % Students of % Students with Students Disadvantaged Color Disabilities

CSAL Middle School 277 92% 96% <5%

Madison Prep 567 85% 100% 6%

CSAL Elementary 400 85% 95% 5%

At the proposed CSAL Elementary school, we plan to serve a student population mirroring our current student body and, in fact, are targeting our enrollment efforts firstly at siblings and relatives of current students.

The Educational Program described below is designed specifically to meet the needs of CSAL Elementary’s intended population, supporting our students to meet our target outcomes, which are described on page 15 of this application narrative.

Educational Program: CSAL, Inc. operates each of its brick-and-mortar schools with a set of guiding principles that are critical to the success of each school. These principles demonstrate CSAL’s commitment to excellence and enable each school’s administrative team, teachers, and staff members to fully align to our mission and vision. CSAL Elementary will also be guided by these principles: 1. A student-first focus where success is determined entirely by the achievement of students; 2. Freedom to innovate to meet the needs of the student population; 3. High-performance expectations for all; 4. Data utilization to drive performance; 5. Schools at the center of the organizational model; 6. A commitment to service by the “home office” to free schools from operational burdens; a focus on efficiency, particularly with respect to non-school expenses; and, 7. A “no excuses” promise when it comes to serving students and families.

With our mission-critical principles acting as the guardrails in the development of our educational model, our curriculum is designed to arm our students with the skills they’ll need to earn not only their high school diploma but to also excel post-graduation. To achieve this, CSAL, Inc. uses research-based teaching methods and technology tailored to each individual student’s needs. With high expectations

12 72 and a continuum of supports in place, students are able to achieve academically, personally, and socially.

All CSAL brick-and-mortar schools utilize a unique educational model that promotes learning tailored to each individual student. Similarly, at CSAL Elementary, we plan to implement an instructional model that includes four core components: ● Plan - Relying upon Common Core State Standards and our Tier 1 curriculum, CSAL teachers will carefully plan daily, weekly, and monthly lessons to ensure students embrace and understand content and are prepared for the next grade level by the end of the year. ● Assess -Using benchmark assessments at the start of the year, formative classroom assessments, and rigorous weekly assessments tied to the curricular calendar and lesson plans, CSAL teachers will gather and analyze data allowing them to adjust all teaching and content to the individual needs of students. ● Teach - Our world-class teachers use research-based instructional methodologies to deliver content daily. In our elementary school, these methods will include center-based learning, experiential learning, and explicit social and emotional development. ● Reflect - CSAL teachers are able to develop individualized intervention and acceleration programs for students because they have access to a wide and deep pool of student data and because they are afforded weekly collaboration time. All CSAL schools have built-in time to ensure teachers are able to work together to build strategies linked to student needs.

The leadership of CSAL believes that equally important to the academic model is the school’s culture. Ingrained into student orientation, organization-wide communication, professional development and leadership goals, they believe that their success is attributed to upholding the CSAL culture with fidelity. Components of this culture include: ● Positive Behavior Incentive Program ● Discipline and Behavioral System ● Student Accountability ● Community Engagement

Studies have shown that positive reinforcement encourages positive behavior and a better school ​ environment for students. CSAL schools employ a Positive Behavior Incentive Program for its students, ​ families and staff. Classroom PBIS practices include preventative and responsive approaches that may be effectively implemented with all students in a classroom and intensified to support small groups or a few individual students. PBIS Programs include monthly “Meet and Eat”, assessment pizza parties, school concerts. project-based learning competitions, dress down days and academic report award ceremonies. Through the academic program, students are assessed on weekly learning objectives and those scores are calculated each week. The top performing class is rewarded with a pizza party, ice-cream party, or dance.

CSAL’s discipline and behavioral system are reinforced by the constant repetition of expectations and ​ rules during announcements and assemblies. Experienced teachers with cultural competence ensure that good classroom management deters many higher level infractions. In addition, there are activities

13 73 during lunch that students do not want to miss due to detention. Each morning, the assemblies serve as a reminder and re-focusing school-wide. On occasion, special guests including athletes and entertainers will attend to remind students of the importance of focus. Leadership attribute positive attendance rates to the fact that school has become a place that students do not want to miss. The results of or behavioral systems are palpable. Across the board, CSAL, Inc. students have fewer suspensions and higher attendance than their peers:

The assessment cycle provides students with constant opportunity to track their growth and progress. As a part of creating accountability, students are responsible for tracking their success weekly. During ​ ​ advisory, they are provided opportunities to discuss this progress with advisor and strategize ways to improve.

Leadership believes that increasing student exposure to other cultures and colleges will motivate students to expand their idea of what is possible within their own lives and communities. During the breaks, students are encouraged to attend several college campus visits which demystify the college experience for students, many of whom will be first generation in their families to attend college. A commitment to civic engagement is evident in CSAL’s continuous community service projects. As a part ​ of cultural celebration many of its students travel to various historical landmarks such as Memphis and New York City. Upon their return, students present to the community through educational nights that are open to the public. In addition, students have attended various international trips such as Paris, London, Amsterdam, Brussels, and Mexico.

Performance Goals: Though the student body at CSAL Elementary will be younger than our current ​ student population, the process for setting and measuring progress toward performance goals will mirror the process we’ve successfully implemented at our existing schools for years.

14 74 At the most basic level, all CSAL schools aim to exceed the academic standards established by our charter contract with the authorizer. More specifically, we look at these minimum standards, common core grade-level standards, curricula-aligned standards, and student baseline data to set annual student growth and absolute student achievement goals.

To ensure we are on track to meeting our vision of nurturing the academic, social, and emotional development of our students, we currently plan to use the following metrics to measure our progress:

MEASURE TARGET OUTCOMES

State Tests 70% of students will achieve “Mastery” and above on Louisiana state assessments

Daily Student Attendance 95% or greater

Daily Teacher Attendance 95% or greater

Social Metric Students will be assessed based on the interest survey denoting student social development based on age to evaluate their ability to socialize with their peers.

Through programming that encourages socialization, all students will be provided opportunities to grow socially through exposure to the arts, team-building exercises, community outings and more.

Emotional Metric Prior to school start, parents are surveyed regarding any potential mental health or developmental concerns. Coupled with teacher observations, the SBLC will determine the best approach to meeting emotional needs (ie through 504 plan, iCare programming or referral to guidance counselor)

Access to SBHC (school based health center) will afford students with emotional deficits, the opportunity to access to licensed mental health specialists.

Real-World Experiences Every elementary school student will have five real world outings during the school year that include exposure to the arts, etiquette, team-building, nature-based learning and project-based experiences.

Within the first days and weeks of school, CSAL Elementary will gather baseline data using DIBELS to assess at what level students are entering school. Teachers will then develop individualized academic plans for each child, which will be monitored, discussed, and adjusted on a weekly basis during teacher collaboration meetings. Student progress will also be assessed regularly, using Great Minds’ curriculum-aligned formative classroom assessments and Achievement Networks’ Tier 1 benchmark assessments.

Curriculum: For all core content and mission-related subject areas, the table below describes the ​ curricula that will be utilized and the rationale for selection:

Experiential Learning Internal curriculum developed by Student inventory throughout the staff during the course of the year year to provide experiential to meet the needs of students. learning experiences

CSAL Elementary plans to use curricular materials that have been ranked “Tier 1” by the Louisiana Department of Education as this ranking indicates superior quality. Further, our experience in the upper grades with Great Minds and McGraw Hill is extremely positive.

Our academic leaders have researched the K-5 English Language Arts (ELA) materials and find that they provide texts that are appropriately complex for the identified grade level according to the requirements outlined in the standards. At least 90% of texts are authentic and offer rich opportunities for students to meet the grade-level ELA standards; the texts are well-crafted, representing the quality of content, language, and writing that is produced by experts in various disciplines. Great Minds’ Wit and Wisdom helps students to independently read, understand, and express understanding of complex texts. Each module artfully explores a relevant and rich topic to develop depth of understanding and inspire curiosity in students and builds background knowledge, vocabulary, and more. Essential topics strategically reoccur, empowering students to deepen understanding of core knowledge across multiple grade levels. The program also contains a professional development component for teachers, helping to ensure faithful implementation that maintains level of rigor.

The CSAL Academic team also finds that Eureka Math is a particularly strong math curriculum that sequences math into logical progressions that connects math to the real-world and helps students develop confidence in their math skills. The program features visual representations and modeling strategies to help students solve complex problems, a consistent concrete-pictorial-abstract progression, and strong development of conceptual understanding, place value, and computational fluency. This

16 76 enables students to understand the “how” as well as the “why” of math concepts. It also contains a professional development component for teachers. Teachers use ABC Workbooks to supplement assignments and for additional intervention activities.

CSAL Elementary will also utilize DBQ, a social studies program. Materials address the content of 90% of the GLEs. Materials provide regular opportunities for students to explore key questions and build knowledge and skills with the social studies content indicated by the GLEs. In addition, ABC workbooks are used as a supplement.

CSAL is in the process of selecting its K-8 science curriculum. Currently, there are two LDOE-approved Tier 1 K-8 science curricula under consideration, Great Minds and Amplify. CSAL’s leadership team will select only Tier 1 curricula.

While the CSAL Elementary believes strongly in the quality of our selected curricula, we know sound instructional methods are also critical to the success of our students. A fundamental component of the instructional model in all CSAL schools is individualized learning. Our individualized programming positions teachers to reach the right students with the right resources and interventions at the right time.

Anticipating the adoption of the state to computer-based assessment, CSAL, Inc proactively began integrate technology based assessments. As a result of implementing Edutyping Keyboarding, students

17 77 were better prepared for in-test navigation and performed better on LEAP 360 compared to the district. By 2017, the school updated assessment and learning cycle and implemented 1:1 technology.

In addition to these formal assessments, CSAL Elementary will implement regular formative assessments to support our individualized programming. In our upper grades, CSAL uses daily assessments, often written descriptions of learning, weekly assessments, and interim formative exams aligned to learning objectives (GLEs and CCSS). The incoming CSAL Elementary School Leader will spend the start up period determining the best mechanism for assessing learning and need on a regular basis in the early grade levels.

Professional Development: Teacher development and collaboration are cornerstones of the CSAL school ​ model. Across our brick-and-mortar schools, teachers are required to use student data and assessments to reflect upon progress, adjust teaching and learning plans, and find innovative ways to improve instruction. More specifically, each of our schools uses the following concrete methods for teacher development: ● Professional Learning Communities with Weekly Collaboration Meetings - All CSAL teachers participate in weekly department and grade-level meetings. During these meetings, teachers analyze data collected from weekly and daily formative assessments (all aligned to the curriculum and common core standards), discuss results, and work together to determine methods for improving instruction. ● Teacher Mentorships and Master Teachers - CSAL’s schools are data-driven, using qualitative and quantitative data to inform professional development and support based on each teacher’s individual strengths and growth areas as well as their students’ academic needs. Master and mentor teachers are invested in the growth and success of all teachers in the classroom and assess progress of students through assessment data, guiding teachers to create plans and classroom cultures that lead each teacher to success. ● Learning Walks - The leadership team at each school conducts regular learning walks, offering teachers immediate, detailed feedback via a learning walk form. An exemplar completed form is included as Appendix C. ● Summer Training - All new CSAL teachers receive two weeks of professional development prior to the school’s start. New teachers are provided a mentor teacher to assist in acclimation to CSAL culture and morale-building. In addition, teachers are encouraged to and compensated for participation in content-based conferences and district-sponsored professional development hubs.

Interventions: All CSAL students are served by our tiered intervention, full-inclusion model. Teachers utilize Response to Intervention (RTI) multi-tier approach to the early identification and support of students with learning and behavior needs. This is accomplished through high-quality instruction and universal screening of all children. Teachers will then develop individualized learning plans for each child, which will be monitored, discussed, and adjusted on a weekly basis during teacher collaboration meetings.

18 78 As academic interventions are individualized based on student need, they will be wide-ranging in execution, from push-in and pull-out supports to tutoring to readiness-based group learning. In addition, each teacher on the 6 period day has a planning period and an intervention or duty period. When teachers observe struggling students, they are able to pull those students from their P.E. or Elective class, and work them in specific content areas. Other methods of support include after school tutoring, technology based Edgenuity programs, and other blending learning supports. For students still struggling with typical classroom instruction, teachers utilize Response to Intervention (RTI), a multi-tiered approach to the early identification and support of students with learning and behavior needs. Student progress will also be assessed regularly, using curricula-aligned formative classroom assessments and Tier 1 benchmark assessments.

Historically, CSAL has made school-wide changes upon seeing trends in data articulating needs for more large scale interventions. Some of the adjustments CSAL made in recent years include: decreasing class sizes to ensure every student had individualized supports, expansion of course offerings, and intervention for struggling learners.

CSAL Elementary will provide a Free and Appropriate Public Education (FAPE) for all students with disabilities; we will comply with all applicable state and federal statutes, including Title II of the American with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA), Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1974. Similar to CSAL Middle school, CSAL Elementary will also follow all district policies pertaining to the provision of special education services. We also plan to use a mix of district services and contract service providers to provide specialized programming for students with specific needs.

19 79 GROWTH PLAN

Intended Student Population: CSAL, Inc.’s brick-and-mortar schools educate traditionally underserved ​ students in East Baton Rouge Parish. CSAL Elementary School will open on the same campus as CSAL Middle School, with the intention of serving many of the same families across both schools. CSAL Elementary school will, at full scale, serve 400 students with a demographic breakdown of 85% economically disadvantaged and 5% students with disabilities.

Because CSAL, Inc. already operates two schools serving a similar student body to the students we expect at CSAL Elementary, we have clear expectations of the needs our students will present. As described in the Past Performance and Academic sections of this narrative, our unique educational model is specifically designed to support and accelerate learners who enter our schools behind grade level.

Enrollment Plan: Detailed below is the proposed enrollment plan for CSAL Elementary. In accordance ​ with best practice of school expansion, we plan to implement a slow growth model:

2020-2021 2021-2022 2022-2023 2023-2024 2024-2025 K 55 55 55 55 60 1 60 55 55 55 60 2 60 60 55 55 65 3 60 60 55 70 4 60 60 70 5 60 75 Total # 175 230 285 340 400 Students

Facility Plan: CSAL Elementary will open in modular buildings on a campus owned by CSAL, Inc. This ​ campus currently houses CSAL Middle and Madison Prep Academy, allowing all of our students to be in proximity of each other. CSAL, Inc. has a long-term plan to build a new facility and is currently in conversations with New Schools Baton Rouge regarding financing to build the space. Included in Appendix D is a proposed site plan for this building.

Staffing Plan: CSAL, Inc. currently plans to add only one school -- CSAL Elementary -- to our network of ​ schools. Below is the proposed organizational chart for CSAL, Inc. with the addition of this new school:

FINANCIAL READINESS

Since inception, CSAL, Inc. has utilized an internal Chief Financial Officer/Business manager to oversee finance and operations across our network. Ms. Jonvia Metevia has served in this capacity since 2009. With a lengthy background in finance and years of experience supporting CSAL’s various expansion efforts, Ms. Metevia is uniquely qualified to support continued growth. Her resume is enclosed as Appendix B.

Reporting Structure: Ms. Metevia reports directly to the Chief Executive Officer, who in turn reports to ​ the board. Both the CFO and CEO meet monthly with the board Treasurer and the finance committee to review financial statements prior to reporting financial data to the full board. The monthly reports include a balance sheet and a statement of income and expenses that will be submitted to the full board for their review and acceptance at the following board meeting.

Budgeting: At business year-end, and in time for the summer retreat of the Board of Directors, a year ​ end report should be prepared summarizing the total income and expense activity for the year. An annual budget for the upcoming year should be prepared as of June 30 and should be attached to the income and expense report. This report is prepared by the CFO, as directed by the CEO, and presented to the Board for approval and distribution at the annual meeting.

Before it is presented to the board, the budgeting process at CSAL, Inc. begins with the schools. School Principals draft school budgets by department and work side-by-side with the CEO and CFO to finalize these documents (using conservative estimates of revenue and expense assumptions based on years of prior experience). The CEO and CFO then develop a comprehensive network budget with support and input from the board Treasurer and board finance committee.

Prior to a final vote on the budget, the CSAL Board complies with the Louisiana Local Government Budget Act (Rs. 39:1307); ensuring that (1) the public has an opportunity to participate in the budgetary process prior to the adoption of the budget, (2) it publishes a notice stating the proposed budget available for public inspection and stating the date, time and place of public hearing, at least 10 days after the notice, (3) the budget is adopted after at least one public hearing; and (4) it has published a notice certifying completion of these actions. All actions to adopt, finalize, amend and implement the budget will be discussed and approved in Open Meeting.

To ensure the organization operates with a contingency, it is the goal of CSAL, Inc. to maintain a minimum of ten percent (10%) of the operating budget between its operating and savings bank accounts at all times. Should the organization face a budget shortfall, the CEO, CFO, and board will work together to cut costs first that are non-essential and least connected to student academic outcomes.

Accounting and Control Systems: Accounting and control systems are explained in detail in the enclosed Accounting Procedures document (Appendix H). As an experienced operator, CSAL, Inc. believes a

26 86 culture of proper financial controls and reporting is an essential component of organizational culture. Our finance team is an experienced, critical component of our network leadership team.

CSAL, Inc. follows accounting policies and procedures that comply with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). The organization also uses a chart of accounts consistent with the Louisiana Accounting and Uniform Government Handbook (LAUGH), which allows for an export of financial data in the proper format for the required quarterly submissions in the Annual Financial Report (AFR).

The organization also participates in a formal external annual audit. The independent auditing process begins on or before August 15. This audit is conducted by an outside independent audit with a timely submission to both the Board of Directors of CSAL, Inc. and the State of Louisiana Legislative Office.

The CSAL Board will exercise fiscal oversight responsibilities by reviewing monthly financial reports, both in committee and as a full board. The board is encouraged to request additional information to understand the financial position and systems and procedures at the organization. In addition to reviewing and approving all financial reports, the board will review and approve the annual budget, approve salaries and salary increases, create and approve fiscal policies, and review and approve all contracts for goods and services exceeding $10,000 per year.

To ensure appropriate internal controls, the organization will also segregate duties across multiple members of a finance team including the board of directors, an external CPA firm, the CEO, the CFO/Business Manager, internal Accounts Payable, an Administrative Assistant, and School Principals. The various roles and responsibilities of these team members are detailed in Appendix H.

27 87 EDUCATIONAL SERVICES PROVIDER

CSAL does not have any intention to contract with an Educational Services Provider to provide services for the proposed CSAL Elementary School.

28 88 SCHOOL LEADERSHIP TEAM CAPACITY

All funds at the school are kept in a locked drawer with only the Administrative Assistant and Principals having access. When the deposits are forwarded to the business office the Office Manager reviews and documents to which department the funds are attributed to. A copy is forwarded to The Levy Co. and the Business Manager. The Office Manager prepares a bank deposit to be entered every Friday afternoon.

Contracts

Contract Definition

Under this policy, a contract is an agreement between CSAL, Inc. and another party that is intended to have a binding obligation and/or legal effect. Contracts contain the terms and conditions under which goods, services, or other considerations of value are furnished by either party. Effective contracts provide a common understanding and the essential terms and mutual obligations defined within the agreement that exist between the parties. In addition to formal documents commonly understood to be contracts, documents such as purchase orders, service agreements, leases, and letters or memoranda of agreement, understanding, and intent are contracts if there is a K-12 interest at stake and something of value is exchanged.

Rev. 7/1/2018 Page 12

143

Applicability of the Policy This policy applies to all agreements between CAL, Inc. and any other party, with the following general exceptions:

• Employee contracts

• Contracts involving State grants and financing.

• Service Learning Agreements with Community Partners or schools or other Volunteer Activities are not required but they are encouraged particularly when liability issues could arise through the agreement. If a contract is written for these purposes, it will fall under the provisions of this Policy.

• The Student Handbook. Purchase of goods: Finished (or "off the shelf") goods that are commonly purchased by cash or credit card valued under $10,000 do not generally need a contract.

Regardless of the cost of the service provided, where the service is provided, or whether or not a contract is executed, members of the CSAL, Inc. Board of Directors, faculty or staff may not pay for services out of their personal accounts and then seek reimbursement from the Organization for these expenses. Rather, all payments for services must be made directly from CSAL, Inc. to the vendor and/or individual(s) providing the services.

Contract Approval and Signatory Authority Signing authority of contracts at CSAL, Inc. is delegated by the Board of Directors to the CEO of the Organization. Board members must still exercise reasonable oversight and maintain ultimate responsibility for the contracts, and they should limit or revoke the delegated authority whenever appropriate. Spending limits or payment approval for periodic payments specified within a contract can be delegated with significant variation depending on the nature of the contract.

Contracts over $10,000 must be approved by the President, the Vice President of Finance and Administration, or the Vice President for Academic Affairs and Dean of Faculty. In addition to these approvals, facilities and technology projects over $1,000,000 must also be approved by the Board of Trustees and all new banking relationships must also be approved by the Trustee Finance Committee.

No person may enter into binding contract negotiations without permission from an Authorized Signatory who is also their Division Head, or their Department Manager or Chair. Those signing without this authority may incur personal liability, and/or may be subject to discipline by the Board, including termination.

Legal Counsel Review If a contract/agreement includes provisions that pose a substantial risk to CSAL, Inc. or new, non-standardized clauses which the representative is not familiar and/or comfortable with, the President and Treasurer of the Board should be contacted. They will determine whether legal counsel should be consulted to ensure the contract/agreement protects the Organization and is consistent with all applicable laws. Legal counsel review should only be requested by the Board of Directors following recommendation and discussion.

Capitalization

1. This accounting policy establishes the minimum cost (capitalization amount) that shall be used to determine the capital assets that are to be recorded in CSAL, Inc.’s annual financial statements (or books).

2. A "material or supply" is generally considered to be tangible property that is used or consumed in the business within twelve months of acquisition, is not inventory, or has a unit cost of less than $200. Materials and supplies meeting this definition may be expensed.

3. All Capital Assets are recorded at historical cost as of the date acquired. Tangible assets costing below the aforementioned threshold amount are recorded as an expense in CSAL, Inc.’s annual financial statements.

4. Routine maintenance that CSAL, Inc. reasonably expects to make more than once to a unit of property, including buildings, over a 10-year period is not a capital asset and will be expensed.

Recordkeeping - Invoices substantiating the acquisition cost of each unit of property shall be retained for a minimum of five years. For all major expenditures three bids must be obtained before a purchasing decision is made. If the annual amount will exceed $5,000, a bidding process and review will be conducted.
