5 Goals:

1. Review board policy manual, by-laws, and articles of incorporation and update where necessary.
2. Recruit new board members
3. Short-term and long-term succession plan and guidelines for HOS
4. Board and meeting evaluation
5. Advocate for school

Board policy manual: had a previous discussion on what needed to be amended. Need to determine if the manual was amended to include the changes.  One change is that board members are non-voting until their background check returns.  The second change involved when to remove someone from the board. Changes have not yet been confirmed. The short-term HOS succession plan was discussed previously, but the details are lost. During LAPCS's presentation at the 2023 Board retreat, M. Carollo mentioned a few items that need adjusting in the BPM. It is not well understood if by-laws can be changed. 

Recruit New Board Members: Need to review to see if there are any gaps in the board profile grid.  Need members who can fundraise. Those who specialize in areas that could effectively support the school - Academics, Finance, Attorneys, 

Short Term and Long Term Plans - need to be added to board policy manual 

Evaluation: A good starting point is the Board Retreat evaluation form. Want to use strategies to assess the board and meetings.
