A.
Review the updated draft communications policy and adjoining procedures.
B.
Review the policy audit and make a priority for policies that need updating for next year.
Sarah showed the committee a summary checklist of all required policies from BESE and which we have, and which ones need editing. The committee discussed the missing policies and needs. They decided to focus on them from the top down and go through them each meeting as we have time each meeting.
C.
Begin reviewing the draft Board Handbook.
Sarah shared the draft Athlos Board Handbook template that she created. Committee members discussed a process for updating it. They decided to work on the policy updates first. They like the idea of shared document that they each could edit and work on individually. Then, each meeting they would review a few pages with a goal of completing by October. Sarah will break out the section with goals for each meeting from June - October with homework assignments for each month.
