III. Other

A.

Ad Hoc Property Committee

There is a need for an ad hoc committee to particularly collaborate on building expansion efforts. 

 

  • Claire will follow-up with Kevin, regarding contractor recommendations. 

B.

CEO Performance Review

  • Jahquille inquired about the due date for the CEO performance review.
  • Since the LEAP data is not released until July, the review will be anytime thereafter-- potentially at the July and/or August Board meeting(s). 
  • Committee discussed necessary changes to format of the CEO performance review. The LLR format is not comprehensive enough.
    • Claire and Eron have the same reservations about the performance review formats for non-instructional staff and are implementing AI tools to reinvent the formats. Claire suggested that they can do the same for the CEO performance review.
