District staff briefed the Birmingham Community Charter High District board on facilities, enrollment and accountability metrics.

Staff reported progress on multiple capital projects (roofing repairs, drainage work, and architectural planning for a wall/locker-room area), highlighted early-stage discussion of a pool project that could include four locker rooms and separate public restrooms, and said some seating and minor parking changes (between one and two rows on the Victory side) were possible depending on final design. An administrator said the pool plan and locker-room details were "really preliminary" and could change as design work progresses.

On security, staff noted work tied to a SVPP grant that would fund cameras, secure rooms and alarm integration; a parent group is also pursuing fencing to address aging perimeter fencing. During Q&A board members asked whether the pool or other projects would affect the scoreboard and parking; staff said electricians and designers would finalize plans in the coming week.

Staff reported enrollment has increased to roughly 3,235 students (from ~3,144 last year), pushing the district above the LAUSD cap of 3,200 and prompting a potential material-revision request to raise the cap to 3,400 or 3,500. Attendance metrics were mixed: the district's free/reduced lunch/attendance proxy was cited at about 82% this year (down from 91% last year), and cumulative daily attendance figures were roughly 94.9% vs. 94.7 last year.

The California Dashboard placed the district in the top two color bands (blue/green) across many academic categories, but suspensions remained an orange indicator; staff noted suspensions increased from 2.9% to 3.2% year over year and said that metric kept the district from qualifying as "high performing" under the state's charter-review tiers.
