II. Governance Committee
A.
Succession Planning
B.
Board Membership Update
The Governance Committee agrees to recommend Sofia Getoff-Scanlon as an alumni member at the next meeting.
Marty will report to the Board tomorrow that Andrea is finishing her term, Mindi is likely finishing her third and final consecutive term (we will clarify prior to the meeting), and Marty is not returning.
We will recommend sending a call to the school community to recruit individuals who will be able to serve on the Board.
C.
Possible Changes to By-Laws
The process for changing the bylaws is a recommendation to the Board, a vote by the Board, and a request for approval from DESE.
We discussed changing term length before officer eligibility and size of the board.
The discussion from last Governance meeting of terms and officers constitute our report on succession planning.
Shino raises that she will not be able to take on the role of Vice President if the remote provision ends. She agrees to share this with the Board.
Jake raises a similar issue and agrees to share this with the Board.
Marty will propose a planning committee for the summer retreat at the 6/15 Board meeting.
