Reviewed Board Goals
Had 4 board goals formulated at the beginning of last year. Have since made progress in creating a board handbook, and encouraging board members to use board on track. Need to still identify members who would be willing to take up executive seats on the board for 2025 and need to have discussions with regards succession planning of the school president.
C. Robinson has active BA email address now for future communications. K. Flaherty volunteered to sit down with him to discuss committees, the Board Drive.
