II. Company Culture

A.

Update from Madison

Huddle went well.  Handout was useful. We think a board member's presence is powerful for the culture.  

B.

Sharing of weekly culture staff ratings

We give out weekly staff survey, including 2 questions about culture.  We have only shared it one time at a monthly meeting.  Change one question to include "how you or another team member positively influenced culture".  Doesn't feel this is as immediate as it needs to be.  The huddle is one option for increased communication on quick culture stats, but then go into in depth review monthly/quarterly.  Maybe monthly so that staff knows they are working on it in case the results drop.  Shout outs at Friday huddles and then maybe a raffle on the last Friday of the month.  Excellent Educator of the month announced at community meetings; maybe hand out a trophy that gets passed around month to month.    

III. Other Business

A.

Communication information on Admin monthly meeting

Communication about rolls:  Went well.  Able to consolidate information and make it more concise. Framed it as communicating information. 

B.

Letter to staff on upcoming survey

Mark has gotten information from Mary and some verbiage from last year for letter to go out to staff about survey.  Do we just want an overview with the time, date, and anomymity.  We don't need the specific questions.  Send physical letter/email. Maybe present the information at a morning huddle in the beginning of October (October 3) - come from Tacey.  Surveys should go out on October 16, so they can take it on their PD day. Madison to put the survey on Google Doc. and send to Tacey prior to October 16. Survey to be finalized at October 2nd board meeting. Between now and then, the culture committee to provide feedback and edits via email - Tacey to start.
