A.
Clarify & review GC FY21 Goals
GC FY21 Goals look good. Immediate focus = board trainings (charter renewal process). In months to come focus should be on 3 year recruitment needs (finance role by next year!) and review onboarding documents to make sure they are relevant to current practices.

Board Training Ideas & Next Steps
SW and LD discussed showing the first 20 minutes of Mass Charter Association "Accountability " video (linked in agenda) at our next Board meeting. The first 20 minutes highlights the charter renewal process. We will then spend the remainder of our Feb meeting discussing where LACS stands and what the renewal may look like for the school.
Next steps :
*SK & LD to review the first 20-25 minutes of this video -
*LD to reach out to Lina at MCPSA to inquire about the Board training opportunity/topics offered to LACS
*SK & LD to start the 3 year recruitment road map
