Henry made contact with Dr. Jasmine Foster, one of the SCSC pre-screen candidates. They had a few conversations and she has visited MAC and met Kolt. She has completed the application and may visit MACs next week to see school in operation. She has great experience. She has run charter schools, worked for Teach for America, and has much more extensive experience. 

She will be invited to the June meeting.

Morgan will share a presentation that was prepared on the board commitment and what it means to be a board member for a State Charter School.

No new business to share.

No topics from the Executive Director

Morgan Felts for 21Cobalt will be assisting MACs with Governance Requirements support. Morgan provided an update on some Board on Track best practices to ensure all meetings are visible on the MACS Public Portal. 

• Henry and Morgan will update all currently scheduled meetings to Public so they are displayed on the portal.
• Agenda should be made public 7 days before each meeting, not more than 14
• Meeting summary should be made available within 48 hours of each meeting; as such the minutes should be made public immediately after the meeting. Approval is needed by the next scheduled meeting of that committee or the board.
• It is recommended we add attendees to each meeting and request RSVPs. This will allows the meeting owner to know if we have quorum.
• Morgan will schedule time with the board and committee secretaries to train them on open meeting compliance and board on track use. Training will be recorded. Uso and Morgan will work together to create a supporting best practices document to keep on file for future secretaries.

On August 18th there will be an SCSC Monitoring Webinar. Board Chairs will get invitation to attend. It is recommended Henry attend. The SCSC Monitoring Application will go live on August 19th, final upload will be October 1st. 

• Any policies that need review and board approval should be presented to the Governance Committee meeting scheduled for September 4th and presented to the board at the September meeting scheduled for September 20th.
