Steve sent proposal from March 1 to June 30 for 66 total hours to mentor leadership team.  RK to ensure TC has on budget to reflect finalized agreement.

RK sent a draft based on agreed upon goals from the Fall in the same format.  These are truncated goals and original goals were sent to EC.  This is a possible tool to rate the ED.  There are a number of things that need to be shown/proven by looking at evidence like surveys. RK asked ED to come up with a binder to show quality vs. quantitative achievements to measure culture (like surveys, school involvement, etc.).  This needs to be put together before we can rate.  Teacher observation reviews and ratings.  This document is presented as a framework but more is needed. So for Culture 1.1 we need to see PTA and surveys. 1.2 Shared accountability and high expectations - we have to see what they are observing in classrooms.  We can't answer some of these questions - we need documentation. 1.4 - 7 Board Engagement we can answer but other than that proof needed in every category. We need to get binders, have a committee meeting, share with board proper and then meet with ED.  We need to meet in person and can be a weekend. Time goal is to complete by end of March.  3/22 is the first meeting.

Based on State law, we need to add an Exec Board member.  LT to reach out to M. Casale to see if she is able to commit and report back.  If not, approach F. Santarpia. 

The agreement is signed and retainer is paid.  She is counsel for the school which is run by the board. Proposed protocol for the procedures manual is: If there is an emergent situation ED may need to reach out directly to counsel. If there is a question, submit to EC and EC will decide on when necessary to outreach counsel. LW to draft to EC, then to board and then to ED. 

Does the board need to vote on adopting/amending school policies? That needs to be determined, especially if there is liability or a cost. To be discussed on next EC call. 

Ed Burke has given leads. The time commitment is an issue for folks. Taking longer than anticipated. I will email the board again. 

George is scheduling finance meeting.

Meeting scheduled for Thursday March 5th and update to come Board Meeting.
