Charter School of Morgan Hill uses project-based learning, strong family involvement and community interaction to develop lifelong learners prepared to be successful and innovative participants in the global community.

In accordance with Education Code 42130, a charter school is required to submit twice during the fiscal year (December 15 and March 15) a financial report certifying the school’s ability to meet its financial obligations. These reports examine the school’s enrollment, spending pattern, fund balance, and reserve for economic uncertainties.

There are several purposes for these reports:

• To provide a review of the school’s financial condition at periodic intervals during the fiscal year

• To provide a status report to the Board of Directors, the charter school’s authorizer, the County Office of Education, and the public on the financial condition of the school

• To determine necessary budget revisions as a result of current or projected financial information

• The interim reports reflect adopted, revised, and projected budgets. This second interim report reflects the financial and budgetary status as of January 31, 2025

It is recommended that the Board of Directors approve the CSMH Second Interim Financial Report.

The 4th graders participate in an overnight field trip to support their study of California's history.  This year, the group will be attending the Sierra Outdoor School.  This program is provided through the Clovis Unified School District.  More information about the camp and a sample schedule can be found here - https://sos.cusd.com/GoldRush.aspx

Parent drivers and chaperones will be needed for this experience.  All three 4th grade teachers will attend.  The cost of the trip is approximately $208/person. This cost includes one night’s accommodations, camp instructors, dinner, breakfast, and lunch. A CSMH Foundation grant will cover the trip's full cost.

It is recommended that the CSMH Board approve the 4th grade overnight field trip from April 3rd-4th.

$10,000 - this grant will be used for the cost of the Washington DC field trips scholarships. The field trip budget (5835) will increase by $10,000.

$400,000 - this grant will be used to offset construction costs. The appropriate budgets will increase accordingly. The costs of these projects will be depreciated.

It is recommended that the CSMH Board approve the CSMH grants and budget changes.

We currently have a contract with LunchMaster for our food service program. The attached addendum represents the prices for the 2025-2026 school year. I have also attached to this email a spreadsheet that shows CSMH's breakfast and lunch costs for the 2024-2025 school year through January 31st.

It is recommended that the CSMH Board approve the addendum between CSMH and LunchMasters for the 2025-2026 school year.

The CSMH Board of Directors is responsible for approving a Comprehensive School Safety Plan each year. The plan was rewritten last year and there are only minimal updates to this year's plan.

The State is requiring that schools add emergency closure procedures to their school safety plans by July 1st. They released their guidance on instructional continuity plans on March 1st. We are reviewing this guidance, will be updating the safety plan, and bringing it back to the Board.

The plan can be found here.

It is recommended that the CSMH Board approve CSMH's Comprehensive School Safety Plan.
