Reviewed results and feedback from Parent Town Hall
Developing a fifth and final survey for faculty/staff with communication to go out December 5th (Send to comms to review 11/29-30th) Comms to include SP process that was shared in BOD Mtg and Townhall (in case they were unaware) Send from Breck/Kimberly via Simon or by email. (Follow up with Simon)
Add Gregg Stevens (GCSA) to BOT and Monday.com (backfill for Christa when on maternity leave)
Gregg and Christa to begin to collate data collected into various buckets and provide top ~5 items per area to begin design conversation
Lean away from committee focused buckets and look for various terminology like student success, or creating a singular mission/sentence per area instead.
Begin discussions of workshop in March. Initial idea with all faculty/staff on March 8th: where do you want to get involved, sign-up/interest form/discuss of areas of focus based on initial committee findings/suggestions
Follow up 2-3 weeks later with the Board and other leadership in additional workshop.
