Call Meeting to Order <br /> <br /> The meeting was called to order by Chair Lottman at 8:04 a.m. Seeing that only two <br />members of the EDC were present, this will be an informational meeting without any <br />motions/votes happening: no quorum. <br /> <br /> <br />2. Consider Agenda <br /> <br />Chair Lottman stated we’ll talk through items noted on the agenda, for informational <br />purposes. <br /> <br />3. Approve EDC Minutes <br /> <br /> We’ll hold on approving January 2024 meeting minutes until the March EDC <br />meeting is held. <br /> <br />4. School Update <br /> <br />Kurt Stumpf provided an update and presented a new format of monthly communication <br />called “Patriot Connections”, which was a back-to-back newsletter they’ve created in- <br />house and will place in high traffic local businesses for community members to read <br />through. They’re working to connect with all community members in Pequot, not just <br />families that have students in the district. <br /> <br />Kurt went on to talk about their adoption of a new strategic plan, which includes a new <br />commitment statement: A Place to Connect, Learn, and Thrive. There are four pillars in <br />the new plan: 1) Welcoming, Safe, and Supportive Environment; 2) Connections; 3) <br />Personal Growth & Success; and 4) Facilities & Grounds. Additional information may be <br />found on their website on the new Strategic Plan and pillars within the plan. They’re <br />tracking and monitoring data internally vs. spending funds with an external group to <br />gather the same data. <br /> <br />Chair Lottman and Kurt will find time to meet with the school’s Work Based Learning <br />Coordinator along with others they deem necessary to find ways to work together and <br />build more working relationships with local businesses, staff and students. The EDC <br />may be able to help/highlight these happenings on their upcoming website, Economic <br />Growth.
