Standing reminders: Per PCM's Charter School Contract with the Commission, PCM Trustees should regularly review the Statement of Assurances (found in the Compliance folder linked in the footer) to ensure we are fulfilling our obligation to the contract.
The Commission has issued an updated Compliance Calendar for the 2021-22 School Year. This is a component of a larger document used by PCM management and available to the Board that provides guidance and clarification around the Commission's oversight of charter schools (this Oversight Guidance Manual is updated periodically).
What rubrics does the Commission use for evaluation?

A. | January Update | |
Please review the BOARD OF TRUSTEES DASHBOARD prior to these updates. The majority of updates directly apply to this dashboard.

General outline:
Notes not included in dashboard this month:
IMPORTANT REMINDER: Every member of a publicly funded governing body must complete their online F1 Personal Financial Affairs Statement within 14 days of taking their oath or assuring their duties. Additionally, every member is also required to refresher this information annually as long as they serve on the Board of Trustees. The annual deadline is April 15th.
Last year we committed to submitting these by the March meeting! Let's do this again this year! For those who have already completed this last year, use your login and the process will go much more quickly this year.
