Whistleblower Policy
Teri, Drew and Liz discussed the idea of a whistleblower policy. We discussed clarifying the scope of this policy (i.e. financial-only, or an umbrella policy that supports existing policies). Teri will reach out to Kristie to gather all grievance policies that are currently in place, and Teri will work with Liz to create language for this new policy.
C.
Board Manual
Committee discussed the creation of a Board Manual for all board members that will include school information, board member and committee information, and resources/links for board members. The committee also discussed created a 30/60/90 plan for all in-coming board members to help them get up to speed.
Teri, Drew and Liz discussed where to find board trainings: GCSA, Board On Track, GSBA. All board trainings must be completed by the end of the fiscal year on June 30, 2022. We will also be sending out an email to all board members to see if everyone has already met all their annual training requirements or if they need to take a few more training sessions before the end of the year. We will begin to track trainings/completion of trainings on our Monday board.
