Jesús shared his professional goals planned for the 24-25 school year (and beyond).  He will work to add metrics to each of these areas.  These goals are in addition to our School Learning Plan.

1. Visibility in more events (school and outside organizations)

2. Continuation of leadership development opportunities and mentorships for Perla Murphy, Luis Samayoa, and Cyndi Beach are necessary to ensure that leadership growth is present, as well as a 3-5 year transition plan for these leaders and for them to be the next Arco Iris leadership team (Director, Assistant Director, etc). 

3. Replicating our school model in other areas of the District.  Jesus shared his vision for expanding the Arco model.  

• Board members engaged in discussion about what we would need consider if we wanted to expand to a second elementary school.
• Regardless of if we move forward with this plan, Board discussed if this is an appropriate goal to be evaluating Jesús on at the end of next school year.    Agreed to remove this and focus on the first two goals.  

Board to vote on goals at next meeting.
