The Coalition s Mission is to provide leadership and advocacy that builds a community where all children are prepared for success in school Executive Committee Meeting Thursday, September 7, 2017 from 9:00 a.m. until 10:00 a.m. Early Learning Coalition of the Big Bend Region, Inc. Edgewater Corporate Center, 2639 North Monroe Street, Building C-300, Tallahassee, FL 32303 Committee Members Present: Monesia Brown, Chair Tara Orlowski, Vice Chair Jeanne Martin, Secretary Eduardo Gonzalez Loumiet, Treasurer Chris Caballero Natasha Simon Committee Members Absent: Jim McShane Staff Present: Matt Guse, Chief Executive Officer Stephanie Savestanan, Chief Operations Officer Tracie Hodge, Chief Financial Officer Liz Murphy, Chief Human Resources Officer Samantha Zadikow, Executive Coordinator Guests Present: N/A 1. Welcome and Roll Call Monesia Brown, Chair, welcomed committee members and staff. Roll call was taken and quorum was established at 9:01 a.m. 2. Approval of Agenda The motion to approve the agenda for this meeting was made by Eduardo Eddie Gonzalez Loumiet. The motion was seconded by Chris Caballero. The agenda was approved. 3. Approval of Minutes for June 8, 2017 The motion to approve the minutes for the Executive Committee s meeting of June 8, 2017 was made by Chris C. The motion was seconded by Eddie G. L. The minutes for June 8, 2017 were approved. 4. Public Comment There were no public comments. 5. Action Items Three action items were submitted to the Executive Committee for approval by the Finance Committee, as voted on during their September 5, 2017 meeting: a. Action Item #2017-12 New Credit Card Limit: Request for an increase in credit limit from $15,000 to $30,000. Currently Matt Guse, ELC s CEO, is the only credit card holder. The reason for the requested increase in credit limit is to allow for 3 additional users to be added to the account (Action Item #2017-13) and have a credit 1 P age

limit of $5,000 each. These additional users would be under the same account as Mr. Guse and referenced on a single monthly statement. Matt G. feels the $5,000 increase per approved user would sufficiently cover the needs of ELC throughout the year, but $1,000 each would continue to pose a problem. The motion to approve this action item was made by E. Gonzalez Loumiet. The motion was seconded by C. Caballero. Action Item #2017-12 was approved. b. Action Item #2017-13 New Credit Card Holders: Request to add three additional credit card holders (Stephanie Savestanan, Tracie Hodge and Lizbeth Murphy) to the current account. If approved, each additional user would have a credit limit of $5,000 each; Matt Guse would remain at the $15,000 credit limit. If approved, this would allow for 4 total credit card holders: Matt Guse, Stephanie Savestanan, Tracie Hodge and Lizbeth Murphy. The motion to approve this action was made by Chris Caballero; the motion was seconded by Eddie Gonzalez Loumiet. Action Item #2017-13 was approved. c. Action Item #2017-14 Banking Authority: Request to add CFO, Tracie Hodge, as a check signatory. If approved, this action item would allow for five check signatories total for ELC: Matt Guse, Monesia Brown, Eduardo Gonzalez Loumiet, Stephanie Savestanan and Tracie Hodge. The motion to approve this action item was made by Chris C; the motion was seconded by Eddie G. L. The motion to approve Action Item #2017-14 was approved. 6. ELC Updates a. Storm Update (Hurricane Irma): Matt Guse updated the Committee on Hurricane Irma and ELC s plan for closing Monday, when the storm is expected to hit the area. Mr. Guse mentioned ELC s COOP, a Continuity of Operations Plan, the phone tree for staff communication as well as ELC s website, should the area have power. Providers have already been notified to check ELC s website for up-to-date information on ELC closures. Provider payments will not be affected by this storm and will be received via direct deposit as scheduled. The Family Services Department have already begun moving parent appointments to allow for possible closures and power outages. b. Staff Updates: Matt G. announced recent staff changes and an addition: Samantha Zadikow as Executive Coordinator, Tracy Hodge as Chief Financial Officer and Michelle Elkins as Finance Manager. c. Leon Office Space: Matt G. reminded the Committee that ELC s Leon Service Center moved out of their Northwood space in June of 2016 and 14 months later, staff are still in a temporary space. Construction on the new space is moving along nicely and he anticipates receiving the Certificate of Occupancy, allowing staff to move in, sometime in October 2017. d. Legislative Update: Mr. Guse stated session begins in January 2018 this year and committees will begin to meet soon. Matt plans to be at the Capitol a great deal, advocating for early learning dollars, specifically an increase to quality. As a result of the last legislative session, a bill passed creating a committee on Early Grade Success to be appointed by the Senate and Speaker of the House and consist of 14 2 P age

people. Last week Matt G. was informed that he was appointed by the Speaker of the House to represent rural coalitions on the Committee; he received his appointment letter yesterday afternoon, September 6, 2017. e. Match Development Analysis: CEO, M.G. explained a new match document was created to simplify things. This new document keeps a running total to reference between committee and board meetings. ELC s match requirement is based on expenditures in Leon County only; the other 6 counties served are rural and do not have a requirement other than making an effort in those areas. ELC projects how much money will be spent on working poor families in Leon County; a current projection of just over $6 million has been made for that specific population, through the month of July 2017. ELC Big Bend s match requirement of 6%, based on a projection of $6 million, equals $366,000.00; we currently have $7,414.00 towards that goal. Matt then explained there is a greater challenge raising match this year due to several factors, one of which is the lower CHSP Grant award received. ELC greatly needs the Board s assistance in meeting the match requirement for this fiscal year; ELC staff have been tasked with thinking outside-of-the-box to come up with new match ideas. f. Event Reminders: Matt G. recapped recent events ELC was a part of and mentioned upcoming events: Stroll N Read in September, Screening Day in October, Barnes and Noble Book Drive in November and December, and Touch-a-Truck in December this year. g. Run ELC: The race will be held on October 21 st this year, at Tom Brown Park. The goal is to clear $20,000, which means raising $25,000 total as the costs are $5,000. ELC has currently raised $13,000, the majority of which has been received in-house. ELC will continue to look for sponsors to reach this goal. h. Super Why! Camps: Matt Guse discussed the Super Why! Camp results. The Super Why! Camps were a huge success; originally there were four camps and this year it was increased to ten. The model has changed from targeting kindergarteners in previous years, to now focusing on the Pre-Kindergarten population. WFSU provides all of the training and support with the funding provided by ELC s Race for Readiness. There is typically an increase of 20-30% in decoding and identification as well as other skills, but this year was the first year there was a 40% increase. This program bridges the gap between child care centers/family child care homes and entrance into kindergarten. The results are fantastic and clearly show the need for the program. i. Proposed Events: Cow Chip Bingo is an event ELC is hoping to hold as a fundraiser, as well as a beer and/or wine flight and corn-hole or ladder tournament. 7. Program Updates and Discussion a. Board Survey Results: An electronic survey was sent to the board members, 17 responses were received. Matt G. discussed the results from the Board Survey, noting that more information needs to be given to the board on all of ELC s programs to ensure they have a thorough understanding of each and feel confident informing 3 P age

others. The responses were positive and he thanked the members for completing the online survey. b. Pay for Success TA Grant: Matt G. informed the Committee of the half-million dollar deficit in the total giving this year compared to last year; ELC received about $37, 000 less this year. The $511,000 deficit was spread across all 9 categories used to determine the CHSP award given, which means ELC started the 2017 fiscal year with $37,000 less than last year in their match funds. ELC is partnering with the Leon County School district, the City, and other community partners for this initiative. ELC is one of the two national recipients. c. School Readiness and VPK Utilization and Enrollment: i. School Readiness (SR): CEO, Matt Guse, informed the Committee that ELC is currently meeting all earmarks for month one of FY 2017-18 (July 2017 data). ELC is in line with all of the restrictions. ii. Voluntary Pre-Kindergarten (VPK): ELC is currently at an expenditure rate of 28%, which is normal for this time of year due to an enormous increase in VPKrelated work in August and September. Mr. Guse assured the Committee that the 28% will come down greatly in the following months, with it balancing out at the 4%, or less, requirement. Last year ELC ended up at about 2% and is confident it will be about the same this year; ELC has never exceeded the 4% maximum. d. Program Policy and Strategy Committee s Operations Review: Stephanie Savestanan touched on some of the high points from the Program Policy and Strategy Committee meeting on August 31, 2017. Stephanie mentioned last year s SR Program had 3800 enrollments and this year there are over 5000 enrollments; the increase is due to the SR waitlist initiative of last spring in which enrollments went up and the waitlist numbers went down. As of June 30, 2017 ELC s Family Services staff had to switch tracks and stop contacting families on the waitlist in order to get children approved for VPK enrollment for the 2017-18 school year. Last year s VPK approved applications compared with this year s shows an increase of 150 children; it is uncertain whether that increase is due to more children approved for VPK this year or if it is due to more parents getting their children approved earlier, but time will tell. 2017 shows an increase in VPK applications approved monthly, partly due to improved deficiencies. Ms. Savestanan mentioned that in the course of 45 days, 2800 VPK applications were processed and those 2800 VPK children have to be enrolled in their VPK classrooms prior to the first day of VPK. VPK brings about a ton of work in a very condensed period of time. ELC is still receiving VPK applicants for August and September and the workload is significant, but is expected to drop off soon. The Family Services team has increased the number of VPK enrollments while simultaneously decreasing the amount of time needed to complete each enrollment this year. e. Finance Committee s Financial Reports: Mr. Guse highlighted the financial documents included in the Agenda Packet for this meeting, stating all expenditures are in-line with the Board approved over/under budget by 10% threshold rule, with the exception of office furniture and equipment. This category is under by 15% due to returning laptops not used. This is the only category outside the 10% allowable 4 P age

variance rule. Travel and supplies expenditures are high at this time due to the One Goal Conference staff recently attended and the temporary office space needs, but are still within the 10% threshold. The Finance Committee decided there was no action needed for the overages. f. Advocacy and Resource Development Committee s Outreach Update: Matt G. recapped upcoming ELC events and encouraged Committee involvement: Stroll N Read in September, Screening Day in October, Barnes and Noble Book Drive, and Touch-a-Truck in December. Matt asked everyone to bring a book to the next board meeting on Tuesday, September 12, 2017. Chair, Monesia Brown adjourned the meeting at 10:10 a.m. Minutes recorded by: Samantha Zadikow, Executive Coordinator Minutes Approved: Thursday, December 7, 2017 Committee Chair s Initials: Board Secretary s Initials: ELC Board and Committee meeting minutes are not verbatim, a digital recording of this meeting is available at the office of the Early Learning Coalition of the Big Bend Region upon request. 5 P age

Action Item #2017-15 Action Item: Approval of Implementation Policies and Associated Forms Background: On September 27, 2017, the Office of Early Learning (OEL) released a memorandum titled Coalition School Readiness Plan Submission. This memo required early learning coalitions to submit their biennial updates to their currently approved plans by October 30, 2017. OEL further required coalitions to submit the 2017-2019 Coalition Plan Certification Form and to attach all documents that required amending. In compliance with the memorandum, the ELC submitted to OEL all required documents on the date specified. As the ELC s SR Plan requires Board approval, the ELC submitted draft documents to OEL. The ELC requests the Board approve the implementation policies and associated forms included in the board packet. The ELC will provide OEL with evidence of the Board s approval. Once the ELC receives OEL s approval of the ELC s SR Plan, including all amended elements, the ELC will then implement those elements (the policies and forms).

Action Item-#2017-16 Action Item: Approval of Revised Fiscal Policies Background: In October of 2015, Florida s Office of Early Learning (OEL) began its review of policies that were included in ELC Big Bend s Coalition Plan. OEL completed this review on October 30, 2017. The completed review included several updates to existing policies. The policies were updated for policy gaps as identified by OEL.
