bylaws and ODOJ

Posted by on Jan 3, 2014 in Blog

I’ve updated our bylaws based on the decision made during our last board meeting. We don’t have to submit the updated bylaws to the State until we submit our financial reports to the Oregon Department of Justice.

We received a copy of “A Guide to Non-Profit Board Service In Oregon” from the Oregon Department of Justice. The digital version is available on their web site. I’ve added to our Member on boarding page.

Our registration with the Charitable Activities Section of the Oregon Department of Justice has been processed successfully. We received confirmation from them on 11/22/2013. Our registration number is 46510.

Approval of our charter proposal

Posted by on Jan 2, 2014 in Blog

During their December 16th board meeting the Lowell School District held a public hearing on our charter school proposal. After the hearing the board voted to approve our charter school proposal. This is great news and we are now one step closer to opening up next September 🙂

Before the board meeting Walt asked me for confirmation that the grades served by our school would be kindergarten through eighth grade and if we would be willing changed the projected enrollment to 135 students which would give us 15 students for each grade. I confirmed that it would be K-8 and agreed to change the projected enrollment to 135 students.
