The Academy of Alameda's Material Revision

C. Robie made a motion to For the AoA Board to meet on 1/20 to review Charter material revisions prior to submittal to AUSD on 1/25, and for AoA Board members to provide Matt with feedback on the Charter material revisions to Matt by Sunday, 1/16 before 4PM.
K. Zimmerman seconded the motion.

Board members provided feedback on the material revision. Because they received it late and didn't have adequate time to review, they determined that it would be best to pull from the 1/13 agenda so that they could review it more deeply and to give the Executive more time to make revisions.
 

The board VOTED to approve the motion.
