Parent's Bill of Rights
Briefly discussed the Parent's Bill of Rights and the complaint policy that will need to be created. We are waiting for Dekalb County to create their policy and we will review their language and amend for GLOBE.
C.
Succession Planning
Discussed succession planning: What positions need to be filled in the next 6 months, are candidates on every committee that can fill the chair position? Do we need the 6 month requirement to serve on a committee to become a chair?
D.
Recruitment
Discussed the ways we should recruit new members: i.e. post online, host recruitment events, solicit candidates via social Media Channels- Linkedin, Volunteer.org, use referral sources. We are interested in developing a recruitment roadmap to source, recruit, elect, and onboard new committee chairs. Discussed expanding board chair numbers and recruiting in two buckets: committee members and board chairs.

Onboarding
Reviewed the needs of the current board manual, on-boarding documents

Next Steps
Drew will reach out to Christi re: composition of other charter school boards and identify a few websites where we could publish an ad soliciting interested candidates
Michelle will work on language for a Linkedin ad to solicit new members
Liz will come up with a few ideas on pre-screening/screening interested board chairs
Teri will review/create a chart on board chair tenures and a column that will be use to identify a member/members who could likely fill each committee role.
