Pam Gordon updated that there has been nothing new from DESE since the last meeting. Pam and Brian may get an update at an upcoming meeting. 

Brian Harrigan updated that the state has approved Parker's revised expulsion policy. He shared examples of how the policy has been implemented in the past and noted that per the state final responsibility on expulsion cases lies with the school's Executive Director. Brian shared his intention to continue to review other elements of the handbook, incorporating the relevant stakeholders. Protocols for potential interactions with federal immigration enforcement were discussed. 

Pam Gordon's work is ongoing in collaboration with Stefanie Reinhorn of the Evaluation Committee. The group will draw on the previously used questionnaire, as well as incorporating examples from the MCPSA and is on track to complete its work and present to the Board of Trustees in June.

The committee discussed candidates for the Trustees and various committees. Fletcher Fernau updated the candidate tracking spreadsheet. The structure and goals of the Sizer Foundation were discussed in the context of its interaction with the Parker School Board of Trustees.
