• Given enough time for people to review and give feedback
• Add to agenda to vote on the update formally

• Certain people on the board do the heavy lifting so need to figure out how to spread the work
  • One issue is that information isn't flowing down from the the EC and have to think about to align there
  • Alot of talk and no action in the board
  • Do we need to just call people out
• Karen making a push to better align the school to Montessori best practices so maybe do a training around that
  • Ex. how do we align Accountability to Montessori 
  • Could we add the "Montessori Minute" back into the board meetings 
    • Tie back to what the kids are doing and understanding of how it differs from how other schools work
• Retreat Training
  • SMART Goals
    • Less Meetings - Hasn't worked for Development to date, but has for Finance - so has to be dependent 
• Board Buddies for new board members - main go to person
  • Reduce Chair burden or any one person
  • Be clear to people that when they come on board that we don't know everything and nor should we
• External Audit
  • 1:1s with the board members then set up training for the board
• Meeting Minutes
  • Need to stop sweeping things under the rug - get the information out there and be what may 
  • Don't need everyone to have all the details, but need to be able to access information when needed
  • This doesn't necessarily need to be part of the retreat training, but need to address baseline expectations
• How do we build up that barn build sentiment
  • Huge investment from leaders that people bought into
  • Start-up mentality early on
  • Initial part of charter was that people gave 40 hours of work
    • Can't do this based on the state regulations as a public school
    • How can we work around this to drive greater involvement
  • Get to know families better
    • Both through building direct relationships
    • Collect information on what parents do for work as well as what they love to do
  • Drive this as part of the culture in every message that we put to the community as a whole
  • How we do something to similar to what is done by Development to show percent of families giving to annual plan, but this is similar to volunteer hours
    • Track this consistently
    • Put on a poster at the entry of the driveway rather than in the building
  • Acknowledge that COVID had an impact and use that as the point of building back up - starting from scratch - back to basics
  • Theory of Action - Montessori principal
    • Self monitor your accountability
    • "All Hands on Deck"
• Could we have board members run the professional growth days
  • Montessori is very collaboration driven
