The Business Plan goes SLOWLY. So many details that have to be worked out.
Then I have to figure out who to send it to.
A lot of work. This will take time.

As I am searching for investors, it is important that I get my business plan finished so possible investors will know what the rewards will be as well as any problems. Of course, the biggest problem is getting enough students. I have ALWAYS had trouble with advertising, which is why I am looking for help and not trying to do it alone. I will hire salespeople if needed, but hope we can get salespeople who will work on sales alone. I know I can find great teachers. There are many that are tired of brick-and-mortar schools and would jump at making a good wage teaching online. I will prefer PhD teachers but will settle for Masters.
I am working on all the things that has to be done to get my future high school accredited. Cognia gave me a bunch of info and I have put it in Asana. So far there are 72 items. I have one more big document to dissect.
Here are the things that I have to do so far:
Designed some changes for my website - which will later be available as an app for Android and Apple users. www.todaysdictionary.com
Adding some functionality and make changes to improve it.
Right now, we integrate five dictionaries, and we will add our own custom definitions that will be provided by the users.
We have finished the school calendar for our first and second year. We have decided to start with the 2025-2026 school year because there is a lot of work that needs to be done so we can be assured of accreditation.

Had a meeting with the perspective business partner and we both agreed that the ACT/SAT Prep class should be part of the core offering, not an extra paid class. This adds an extra benefit to join our school.
We are considering offering extra robotics classes to our after school offerings - this will concentrate on robotics competitions.
We still have not come up with a start date - Aug 2024 or Aug 2025
We also talked about starting an online University. I said that is something I would like to do AFTER finishing the creation of the high school.
This week are looking at three things:
