II. Committee Updates

A.

Onboarding

Discussed the items we will need to onboard the three new members. 

 

  • Orientation session- will be held in late July or early August- need to confirm with Drew
  • Playbooks- need board members to complete by August 1
  • Board Manual- should try to finalize by August 1
  • We created an Important Documents folder that contains the following helpful assets: 
    • Bylaws
    • Conflict of interest forms
    • Globe Calendar (need to update) 
    • Brand and Style guide
    • Canvas Tips
    • How to create a meeting 
    • Powerpoint template

B.

Orientation

Discussed our Orientation deck. Decided the school campus tour should just be with at one campus (for time purpose) 

  • During orientation, new members will meet with school leadership, sign conflict of interest forms, get their board buddy assignment

Ideas for things we should add to orientation: 

  • Verbally highlight key takeaways (most important items) 
  • Talk more about board responsibilities and not the school itself (i.e. meeting cadence, how to prep for calls, etc.) 
  • Documents that need to go with the new members- little book of boards, swag: cups, pen, etc.
  • Provide access to new email address, Board on Track 
  • Provide more of an opportunity to ask questions or to finish the deck 
  • Add appendix for items like: test scores, attendance rates, zip codes
  • Board buddy follow up within the week of orientation 


 

III. Other Business

A.

Next Steps

  • We will not have a governance committee meeting in July
  • Remind members to fill out playbooks by August 1
  • Ask board members who would like to be a board buddy 
  • Finish updating board manual


 

IV. Closing Items
