We are designated as a normal high school (not an alternative school).  We will build checks on our renewal standards into monthly CEO report to the Board.

We will assign CEO Eval module to CEO in the coming weeks and to the Board & Team after that as a baseline.

Two founding staff members are expecting newborns in the first months of school creating urgency around building a mission-aligned FMLA policy.  Federal law requires 12 weeks of job protection and common practice in New Orleans schools is to allow staff to take their 2 weeks of paid leave before activating short-term disability.  Because of newness of employment, these two staff members won't be eligible for short-term disability by the time they go out for leave, so they've requested that we provide 6 weeks of paid leave (including the 2 weeks of normal paid leave).  We will investigate other models of leave including job-sharing before finalizing policy.
