River Valley Charter School welcomes your participation at Board meetings. The purpose of a public meeting of the Board of Trustees (“Board”) is to conduct the affairs of the organization in public. Your participation assures us of continuing community interest in our school and assists the Board in making the best decisions for our school. To assist you in the ease of speaking/participating in our meetings, guidelines are provided at the bottom of this agenda.

For a more detailed analysis, CoT will issue the corresponding sections of the board assessment tool via invite email link to each committee for their members (not Trustee members) to fill out. The technical issue is that only one assessment can occur at a time (confirmed with Board on Track rep) so we will have to create short assessments for each committee, only open for a short amount of time, so that we can have the full assessment available to be taken by the full BoT before the end of the year.
