Greetings,

 

Again, thank you so much for taking time to meet with me this morning. Upon completion of our annual site visit, I have compiled a list of items that are outstanding and will need to be updated within two weeks. Please update the following;

 

1. General Compliance 
   1. Contract Staff Background Check (LBCI) for Raymond Noel (receipt to show it was sent off with staff member's name on it). 
2. Facility Compliance 
   1. Fire Evacuation routes posted in every classroom should have an evacuation route (Pictures of posted evacuation routes in back building classrooms). 
3. Special Education Compliance- the following IEP folders were reviewed and require an update. 
   1. NONE 

 

Total items outstanding- (2 items) Evacuation posters should be in every room. I did observe it in the main building however the back building I noticed the evacuation posters only in the hallways. Additionally, make sure the gymnasium and cafeteria spaces also have evacuation routes if they do not.

 

We require evidence of all items to be returned by either a Zoom meeting where evidence is made visible or a password protected PDF in an email on Friday, March 8, 2024, no later than 4:00 pm. Evidence may include photos and scans of documents.  Failure to respond by the deadline provided may result in further actions such as a notice of concern or in cases more significant, notice of breach.  If you are unable to provide certain documents, please let me know and support the reasoning as to why this cannot be updated within the time constraints.

Bylaws

Board Member Attendance. In order to effectively execute board duties, board members shall regularly attend board and committee meetings, attending 80% or greater of the board meetings in a given year. An un-notified absence is one in which the board member did not notify the board or committee chair of his/her pending absence at least 24 hours prior to the meeting. A board member shall be deemed to be out of conformity with the requirement to regularly attend board meetings if: 

1. the member has two un-notified absences from a board meeting within a one-year period; 
2. the member misses three consecutive board meetings for any reason; 
3. the member has two un-notified absences from a committee meeting within a one-year period; 
4. the member misses three consecutive committee meetings for any reason; or 
5. the member misses greater than 20% of the total number of board and committee meetings in a one-year period. 

 

If a board member fails to meet these standards for attendance, the board chair shall notify the board member in writing and schedule an agenda item for the next board meeting to consider dismissal of the board member. At a board meeting where there is an agenda item to consider dismissal of a board member due to attendance concerns, the board member shall be given an opportunity to address the board at that meeting and the Board may vote to remove the board member by a majority vote.
