5 Star board - reviewed the 5 stars. Need to get a better handle on Board Engagement - RSVP and Download notes. Looked at if we need to remove people who are listed but not active.
Board should attend events at the school - School should communicate days that have events that would be a good showcase.
Parents are being asked to commit to 5 hours per quarter, 20 hours a year. List of what is needed or what could be done would be nice from board, parents and school.
