The committee discussed how last year goals were impossible to measure because there wasn't actually a test, which is why this year, the committee decide on teacher focused goals. It is still unknown if there will be testing. 

The committee also discussed suspensions and will we reviewing the data from last year during the next committee meeting. 

The governance committee discussed roles and responsibilities of the board members and what the changes that have been going on might mean to the charter application down the line. 

The next item of discussion was around the engagement , making sure that everyone is playing an active role within the committees. Finalizing SY21 training is the goal and we are still awaiting dates for SY22 training sessions. 

With couple of board members rolling off soon, the recruitment is very important with the solid succession plan. The committee will be focusing on identifying members who will training on leader key assessment so that we can use the tool that the state uses to evaluate our school leaders. 

The committee reviewed last years activities in order to discuss what does this year look like in this new environment. We always have a really successful Wesley Welcome Day where we get a lot of our parents to sign for monthly donations to the school and even one time contributions. We did not have that this year but the development team has done a series of communications to parents, including videos featuring Jason, making these asks. Considering it all, we had a good start. Our Wesley staff is so generous and they sign up for recurring contributions that are withdrawn direclty from their paychecks. 

In August, we raised $9,000, with up to $2,100 recurring monthly commitments. We anticipate we will continue to grow and contine to have good communications going out to our school community. As Jason mentioned, the parents are very engaged, and more grateful for Wesley and we are seeing that in their generosity. 

The committee is working on a fundraising event for this fall. It will be school-wide event : Movember. All are welcome to participate. This ties into some of the things that the school started at the end of the school year with the staff in terms of wellness activities and especially now, this will be a good reason to ge out and move in November with one another virtually.

The committee continues to seek out additional grants, and asks the board members to keep an eye out within their own networks.
