The updated term tracking sheet has been uploaded to BoardOnTrack. Officer terms are two years and board member terms are three years, with all terms starting July 1 and expiration dates calculated from July 1 of the current year.

Currently, three individuals have responded to the board interest form. The Board Chair, Dr. Monica, will contact them to arrange meetings, informing them of the September meeting time slot, with an option to meet before September 18. 

The Governance Committee will recommend candidates. The process is: 1. Governance Committee will speak with potential members, 2. make a recommendation at the committee meeting, and 3. if approved, submit them for final board approval. 

Dr. Monica will coordinate scheduling. If a candidate is not approved, they will receive a message thanking them for their interest. The Governance Committee will maintain a repository of applicants.

The Governance Committee reviewed the following policies: Personnel Weapons Policy, Seclusion and Restraint Policy, System of Internal Controls Policy, Federal Procurement Policy, SY2025–26 Student and Family Handbook, and Employee Handbook. These policies will be voted on at the called board meeting on August 18. 

• The System of Internal Controls Policy and Federal Procurement Policy are required for CSP monitoring. 
• The Personnel Weapons and Seclusion and Restraint policies were developed in response to board member concerns and staff feedback from the July board meeting. 
• Both handbooks will require further discussion at the upcoming meeting.

The deadline for submitting FY26 CSP grant monitoring documents is August 19. Schools receiving CSP grants must submit all required documents by this date. The next board meeting is scheduled for August 18 to approve the necessary policies in time for the ED to upload them before the deadline.

The SCSC monitoring portal will be open from August 19 to October 1, representing a significant lift for the Board. Members should monitor their board email for updates and requests. Key milestones:

• 9/3: Governance Committee reviews policy updates
• 9/17: Board votes on updated policies
• 10/1: Deadline for uploading policies to the SCSC portal
