Discussed proposed amendments to the By Laws, to include that beginning 2025, appointed seats would have a 3y term, may serve no more than 2 consecutive terms. Elected positions would stagger that half would serve a 1 year term, the other half 2 year term but every election cycle thereafter would be two year terms. Will share a draft with the board to be voted on by the December meeting.

Anticipated a majority of board members would roll off 2025. Encouraged to keep the pool of potential board members updated and would make an appeal to board members for candidates. This would be a good way to be purposeful about whom to approach for appointed seats who align with the values, mission, vision of the school and possess talents that compliment those remaining on the board.

The committee would also like to ask the president to share long term strategic plans of the school with the board or invite the board to be part of the conversation in formulating these long term plans so that the board can align its goals with that of the schools to better support it and pass along these goals with future board members so its mission is continued.

The committee believes and applauds the president for building such a strong leadership team. While the school is in a period of continued growth, the committee will continue to approach the school president to discuss any long term plans to continue in his present role and discuss whether to continue yearly contracts or multi-year contracts.
