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
