Clara has displayed interest in the Assistant Treasurer role. This is the opportunity for the Board to consider the switch in her role.

| B. | Required Board Policies and Procedures: 2nd Batch | |
|
WA Charters created this Charter Required Policies spreadsheet to aid in boards adopting all the necessary policies, procedures, manuals, and handbooks. It is highly recommended, with a few exceptions, that schools adopt slightly modified WSSDA (Washington State Charter School Directors' Association) model policies and procedures to accomplish this task.
The PCM team has made adaptations to these model policies and procedures to create the versions being presented to the board for adoption. The policies and procedures to be voted on at this meeting can be found in THIS FOLDER. They rows of the policies and procedures being presented for adoption are highlighted in YELLOW. Proposed Motion: I propose the PCM Board adopt the policies/procedures as presented. |

| C. | Amending Bylaws + | |
|
The PCM management team has been reviewing all PCM documents and identified small changes to the bylaws.
Small changes to the Full Board Member Packet are also suggested pending changes to the Bylaws. |
