IHSNO Charter
Articles of Incorporation (the charter) and the bylaws are repeating.
- There should not be two documents stating the same thing. Other documents are repeating the bylaws.
- One of the documents should be removed.
- Usually, when something is changed, the changes are made to the bylaws, not the article of incorporation.
- Articles of incorporation are required by the state. They cannot be amended by the board.
- We are currently not ready to discuss the charter of the organization.
- S. Wilson will get the copy of the VIBE Charter with No Appendices from December 2009 to everyone.
- Language immersion as stated in the executive summary was changed in the strategic plan as Language Proficiency, as there is no immersion currently offered.
- The first part of the charter needs to be rewritten to reflect what we are doing, such as learning one language for four years.
- There is not the international business model at IHSNO as is written in the charter.
- There are some items at which we are currently successful.
- If changes are made to the charter, the changes would have to be approved by BESE.
- The administration needs to go through the document to determine what is currently happening at the school. Once this happens, the board can go through the document to make the revisions.
- Revision of the document needs to be placed on the September agenda.
