SW - according to the Spring legislative session, schools are required to have a policy around student fees. At IHSNO, we require from $25 - $275 being seniors the ones who pay the most due to the testing and other activities that are required at this grade level. Those fees do not include any social activity such as dances and other social events. 
Our current fee schedule was presented. We are in compliance, though the board does not have a policy on this matter. 

The administration will draft a policy and bring it back to the committee to vote adoption at the January meeting. 
 

Next Governance meeting will be on January 10th tentatively 

Two candidates will be interviewed at the next meeting in order to be ready for the board meeting. 

 

RK - Since the Board Agreement was approved already, the question is should we have only the new board members sign it or also the current board members? 
CA - The board member agreement should be presented/introduced to potential candidates as they come on board. 
RK - stated that the agreement should be signed within a timeline of being voted on. This should be included in our policy as requiring signature and filing within a month or a week of the beginning of the school year's retreat. 
Renew for existing board members and for new board members annually. The school will file these signed agreements.
