Feedback from Board Visit Day 11/0/2023

• Director K McDonald - teachers interacted well but seemed to be a little uncomfortable with the Board members in the room
• Director JT Adamson - kids leading activities and leadership roles - teachers seemed to like having board members in the classroom
  • Suggestion: small group breakout breakfast - 1 board member with a group of teachers to have conversations in a smaller group to let teachers get to know the board and the board get to know the teachers
• Director C Walker - teachers mentioned they did not know who was on the board and gave the teachers time to respond in a more meaningful way
  • Kids and teachers seem to really like having board members there to see the board involved and in the school
  • school felt more positive and more engaged than in previous years
• Director V Olivas-Smith - teachers may not understand who is on the board, what the board does, and what they can ask of the board.
  • engagement was very noticeable with teachers and students
• Any feedback about the visit in the next little while on anything observed that might be helpful to Admin please update
