The Wright Community School is proud to partner with Family Bridge, Inc., a Jonesboro based nonprofit whose deep roots in home care and community wellness make them a natural ally in our mission to serve families across Clayton, DeKalb, and Henry counties. Our partnership comes to life at the community events Family Bridge hosts throughout the year, where the WCS team joins them to connect with neighbors, share resources, and spread the word about the opportunities we are building for local scholars. From their Health and Wellness Workshop to Jazz on the Lawn and their beloved Trunk or Treat, these moments let us meet families right where they are, side by side with an organization that shares our belief that strong, supported communities are where children thrive. We are grateful for the warm welcome from the Family Bridge team and excited to keep growing this relationship as we work together to make sure every child is cleared for takeoff.

The board is asked to adopt a meeting schedule for the 2026 to 2027 governance year. Two options are presented, both with the executive session at 6:00 PM and the regular meeting at 7:00 PM, running September 2026 through June 2027. Option A meets the third Wednesday of each month, and Option B meets the second Thursday. Both include two Saturday retreats from 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM, on August 22, 2026 and March 20, 2027, and each meeting carries a backup date. All dates avoid federal holidays and standard school breaks.

The board is asked to adopt the Amended and Restated Bylaws. The current bylaws were drafted from a general nonprofit template before the school received its charter, and they contain provisions that conflict with Georgia law, several drafting errors, and language carried over from an out of state template that does not apply in Georgia. The amended bylaws bring the corporation into full alignment with the Georgia Nonprofit Corporation Code, the Open Meetings Act, the Charter Schools Act, and State Charter Schools Commission rules, correct the errors, and add the governance provisions the authorizer expects. The most significant updates include a clear separation of the Chief Executive Officer from the School's Executive Director with no employee serving as a voting Director, a defined process for electing Directors with two year terms, a board of no fewer than five and no more than thirteen members, and new sections covering Open Meetings Act compliance, annual governance training, website transparency, the annual independent audit, and conflict of interest.

The board is asked to adopt the Board Succession Plan, a governance policy that describes how the board recruits, vets, elects, and orients new Directors, how it develops and replaces its Officers, and how it keeps governance running when a planned or unplanned vacancy occurs. The plan puts the Amended and Restated Bylaws into practice and does not amend them. It sets a near term goal of growing the board from its current five Directors toward seven to nine, maintains a year round candidate pipeline and a board skills profile, and establishes clear onboarding, officer succession, and emergency succession procedures.
