III. Board on Track evaluation of executive director
A.
discuss BOD evaluation of ED
Thomas was sick, so Tom will base with Thomas to find out what needs to be done, then send out an email to all Board members. Current thought is to have principals, assistant principals, Lisa Price and Chris Wyatt do ED evaluation, subject to Thomas' right to veto.
IV. Gender Identity Issues
A.
Begin discussions on gender identity issues
Thomas was not able to attend. Talked about potential model policies from federal government and non-profits. Talked about timeline, trying to get, at a minimum, an aspirational policy on how to treat people along with policies that mirror current law. Goal is to finalize policy by July 9th board meeting, which means first ready at June 4th board meeting. May 21st Governance will be most of the heavy lifting on gender policy.
