Amy reviewed these documents as provided to council members ahead of the meeting.  Discussion ensured related to succession and terms and Amy is awaiting final legal review and concurrence.    Council agreed to recommend Board approval of these documents at 2/21 meeting including any changes recommended by legal counsel.

 

Council also discussed expectations documents for FIGS board chair, school board rep and at large board member.  Previously drafted copies of these documents were discussed and it was agreed to allow Shawna and Amy time to update these documents in context of similar documents/phrasing for School boards.  This item was tabled to next months Council meeting by which time, Shawna, Bob and Kelly Lytle will provide updated versions for council review and recommendation.

 

Also discussed where/how these documents with signatures will be maintained and tracked for completeness annually with BoT.   Follow up for Bob to determine approach and procedure for this work and report back at next month Council meeting

C.

Determine approach to compiling Board manual

Amy will compile documents/materials already in existence and circulate to Council members followed by ensuring these are stored within BoT under table of contents headings within a separate "Board Manual " tab.    This will allow council to determine incomplete/missing materials for board manual contents.

Board assessment

Bob reviewed Skills summary section of BoT for school boards and requested Council members review details for next month's meeting including identification of additional skills/experiences that may be important or valuable to have in board members' profiles.  We will discuss the "gaps" and priorities in skills/experiences for current board  and develop profiles for replacement or additional board members.  

 

Council agreed to finalize desired/target size of school boards at next months meeting.  Lynn agreed to have individual conversation with board members whose terms expire in June to further assess our needs.
