A.
EVALUATION RPOCESS
The strategic goals for Invictus are the goals the committee is proposing the CEO be evaluated on as these are the goals that are required for the school to open and be successful.
The committee will present the documents (survey tool and goals) at the next board meeting. A mid-year review will be completed at some point in November or December. From January-March the evaluation will be completed.
By the board meeting in June 2025, the committee will be on track to help the CEO develop goals for the next calendar year.

V. Governance
A.
By- Laws
Original by-laws were edited. The committee chair requested additional time to improve upon the By-laws and abstain from voting until the next meeting.
B.
Selection Process for Board and Committee Members
The committee chair presented an updated policy and process for the recruitment of committee members and board members.
Committee job descriptions will be further defined for clarity of roles and responsibilities. The intention is to streamline the process to integrate committee members more quickly into committee meetings.
The addition of requiring a background check for board members was included and a topic of discussion.
Questions for the future that the CEO will investigate: as volunteers sign up for in school service, will they pay for their own background checks or will the school cover the costs? Will we honor background checks from other entities or will they be required to be taken at our preferred service provider? What elements are disqualifying (that may come up in the background check)? More research is needed before coming to a consensus on this topic.

The budget for 2024-2025 had previously been approved-there are no significant changes.
