Rebecca presented a draft of goals and gave committee members time to read them before discussion. Dale noted that it is clear under the goals who is doing what but the strategies feel less clear around who is doing what. He used the culturally responsive teaching reading as an example. Jonathan explained that the first goal is clear but the second and third need to be clarified around who is doing what. Rebecca explained that goal number two she imagined trustees would be doing these readings and she would facilitate discussion. Rebecca will make that more clear in the goals.  Core values is a goal area that Rebecca feels less comfortable facilitating and Rachel/Amy suggested that that she and other team members share examples of how they look in practice at the school for the board to consider and discuss how they look at the board. 

Dale asked Rachel, Jonathan and Amy how these goals impact their leadership. He wondered how frequently they are driving our plans and thinking and conversations and in what ways. Jonathan, Rachel and Amy all explained how there are many competing priorities and these three are the the things that are prioritized in PD, planning, observations and intentionally communicated around from Amy and leadership. Rebecca asked Amy how the AA Committee could be helpful to her in driving toward these priorities this year. Amy appreciates the role the committee plays in holding her and her team accountable to preparing, looking at data that otherwise could get overlooked. We should continue that this year. The second two goals fee useful for us to grow as an organization, connecting the boars priorities with the school's priorities. 

Dale asked Amy to elaborate on anything that frustrates her or she wishes was happening more from the board. Amy expressed how she wants trustees to come into the school more, it has been too long with covid and trustees seeing the school is the best way to understand it. The committee discussed comfort with going in person and how much we would like to include observations as part of our meetings.
