V. Governanace Committee Update
  A. CEO Evaluation Completed, Employee Contract & 2017-2018 Executive Director Contract Stipend
   
The CEO Evaluation team compiled data provided by Mrs. Ellie Schollmeyer, the Exploris School leadership team and Board of Directors to complete the CEO evaluation memo. This compiled memo was provided to Mrs. Schollmeyer on June 8, 2018.

The evaluation results found that in eleven of the twelve identified categories Mrs. Schollmeyer scored an EXCEEDS EXPECTATIONS or higher (Memo and data available upon request to voting members only).

During the summer of 2018 Ellie will work on her 2018-2019 goals. These goals, and any additional areas identified in the feedback will be revised and brought the board for approval for the upcoming school year.

Motion for Approval: Based on the CEO Evaluation results and work completed by Mrs. Schollmeyer in terms of school safety and addressing delicate legal matters, the committee would like to recommend that the full $5,000 contractual bonus be awarded prior to June 30, 2018.  

Ellie signed and returned her 2018-2019 Letter for continued employment as the Executive Director. During the 2018-2019 school year the Governance Committee will work in collaboration with the Finance Committee to create policy and process for annual evaluation of CEO, employment agreement terms, benefits and vacation and personal leave for the Executive Director position.
