Kylie will send invites to veteran Board members tomorrow.  Please complete by next Board meeting, March 18.

The consensus of the Board is to return to Callaway  for the retreat. Fall seems to be the best time to schedule it. Further planning will take place during the summer. 

Kylie will check with Grayson for approval - Surveys are set up.  Supt and CFO will complete the survey as a self-assessment and share it with the Board. After sharing the self-assessment, invites to complete the surveys will be sent out to direct reports and veteran Board members. The evaluations need to be completed before SY 24-25 budget approval.
