Long term Science substitute  position- we found a person we can emergency certify named Steven who will be starting in April.

DFO hiring update- Whitney will be starting in mid April to train alongside of Jared and make sure it is a good fit And then she will phase in and Jared will phase out and be a liable to consult.

V. Committees

A.

Governance

Andrea gave an equity update form our discussion last meeting. Annual items:

finalize board equity plan, board participates in annual training and at our annual meeting there is a training Around equity. Data from Lumen is given and then interactions with students are prioritized. 

Data conversation around the DEI data at the Lumen/student level to be used at the state and national level, locally it doesn’t really exist and omits qualitative information and can create harmful narratives and myths.

Governance committee will take lead on bringing equity training to the board for decision making.
