The full director's report appears in the meeting packet.

NDurkee expresses gratitude for the work being done to grow and improve the special ed department. This is a great response to parent concerns on the family caregiver survey.

Board Certified Behavioral Analyst (BCBA double check word) offer made earlier in the day June 11, 25.

DHererra: How many signed agreements have you received? KKuse: They have until Friday, but has received over 60. All agreements went out at the same time. Several people have asked for meetings for salary increases. Still searching for a STEM teacher to replace LIves for one year.

ESimone: Noticed that there is a lead E2 teacher leaving, but no listing for a E2 lead teacher. KKuse: I am looking for an assistant to replace him. It seems that co leads doesn't seem to be the best structure. 

Grounds Redesign: Order of conditions came through yesterday. As of then, the ten day appeal window begins. No concerns are expected.

Bid Packet: Aiming for date of sending out bids June 25. Using a software program BidDocs to do it. Has to to advertise in several outlets including local newspaper. 

EBradley: Are we fully enrolled. KKuse: Yes.

EBradley: Have any families departed? KKuse: One family is moving this summer.

Results for April 30 are included in the discussion for the last meeting. 

Still in surplus approx 265K. Does not include the 75K that we budgeted as an ask from the foundation. We are going to forgo that ask.

Now it is time to decide what to do with the surplus. 100K to capitol reserve account. 90K in stipends to be awarded by the director. 40K for Montessori materials, phone system, etc. Remainder will go to retained earnings. Will kno wthe final numbers in June.

ATing: Exciting to see the 40K called out for materials. It's great to see us focusing on the mission. CWhitford: Please give kudos to KKuse, it was her 

PGanley: What are retained earnings? CWhitford: Total revenue less expenses. Some is a rainy day fund. Some is good governance is having savings. 

DH: If it comes in under 265, is retained earnings the first to go? CWhitford: Yes.

Budget:::

Every year we have asked the foundation for $100K, last year, we cut that down to $75. This year we aren't asking for anything. For next year, we are budgeting very conservatively. We are budgeting for a 3%, again very conservative, estimage is at 5%. To balance the budget, we need to hvae that ask from the foundation. We are asking for $175 in the budget. Likely we will not need to ask the foundation. 

SECOND

JNickerson: WEll facilitated and productvie. Walked away with good actions. As we head into next year, it gave us a good sense of what we need to do to improve things. 

TMurdy: Really enjoyed the speaker. Kept us on task and methodical. 

DH: Refreshing to hear how few meetings they have while still being a productive board. 

CGetz: Came across that she had respect for our board and the way we respect and interact with each other. 

DH: Let's take time in this meeting to break into small groups to focus our goals. 20 minutes.

More efficient board structure

Development

Director evaluation

Reviewed the "Parking Lot" ideas that were generated at the retreat. Took a few minutes to elaborate on and understand the brainstormed list. There are several that we can bubble up and a few that aren't under board purview.

Thank you for donating your time to 

FIRST

EBradley: Presented gifts to ESimone and NDurkee thanking them for their service to the board. ATing: Thoughtful intelligent voice. He has never waivered his kindness through many difficult meetings. Leads with his heart and asks thoughtful. 

ESimone: It's been an honor, I sish I still had the time to dedicate to the board.

DHererra: Thanks you for being the center of gravity for accountability.

There is an opening for accountability chair. 

This is gives us a chance to figure out who will back fill as the EC moves on. This will be a learning year. 

There are some potential trustees in the pipeline. Waiting on one person's application for sure. 

Try to get our trustees split into three cycles for longevity and institutional knowledge. 

Committee heads, please check in with your members to see their future plans.

CWhitford: the goal is to move the committee meetings to daytime on zoom. Try to reduce in general and align them with the arc of the year.

Reviewed the scheduling for committees' meetings for the following year.

The goal is to hold meetings that are necessary and timely while not having meetings just to have a meeting. Boil it down to the essentials.

How do you get more people to join committees? By having fewer meetings. HA HA

Development: Elizabeth sent meetings. 7 meetings, aug, sept, oct, jan, feb, april, may, some have topics.

COT: 8 main things to consider for meetings. External Board Assessment, Onboarding, etc. 

EC: 

This is all on the RVCS Board 2025-2026 Calendar. 

There will be an August BOT meeting. Next year's BOT meetings will continue to be Wednesday evening. Committee meetings could be shifted around some to eliminate multiple meetings on evenings. 

The calendar will continue to be developed and passed around when it is complete.

DH will explore whether meetings can be held completely remotely.

Working on an end of year faculty survey. Hopefully to occur in June so the current executive slate can receive and evaluate the resutls.
