L. Timoney was there on the first day of school and it went very well. Celebratory and without issue aside from buses. Students chanted they were bold, bright and unique.
R. Kerr to visit the school on 9/10 to see instruction and structure, triad, and movement. Formal trimester visits to follow. 

There are going to be two vacancies and possibly three that need to be filled due to job changes, relocation and medical reasons. The needs are in finance and operations and possibly marketing and media. We will need to add a trustee to the Executive Committee.  It was unanimous to ask V. Cerullo.  L. Timoney to reach out. 
Board Retreat - we want to schedule a retreat and have it include a board meeting.

R. Kerr to come up with a framework for ED's goals based on 5 major areas. Exec Committee + ED to determine mutual goals. Timeline will include three check-ins annually. 
Monthly Dashboard - ED to design and present a monthly dashboard to the board including key school indicators with academics, discipline, attendance, assessments (MAP and OG), etc.  We would like to see a baseline of students in October.
Staff - we would like to see a binder with resumes and backgrounds for the staff highlighting certifications. 
Website - needs to be updated. Request made in August to ED. 

Move ED to beginning of meeting with Dashboard.  Also suggested was to visit another board to see best practices for well run board meeting. 

We need to discuss the Walton Foundation grant and managing debt. How we manage debt will be important to potential lenders or if we need to issue bonds in the future. It was recommended there be a strategic financial meeting to discuss short, medium and long term goals. 

We have officially received government approval.
