  A. Approve updated COVID-19 policy to be added to HR Handbook Vote Brian Holman 5 m
   
The State of Arizona included language prohibiting schools from allowing facemasks when passing the state budget at the end of May. The policy attached here has been written by the School's law firm to comply with this policy. It provides adequate latitude for the Senior Management Team to continue to adapt policies and practices to meet the changing needs of the school community during the COVID-19 pandemic.
 
IV. Strategic Planning 5:00 PM
  A. Discuss and develop strategic plan Discuss Brian Holman 45 m
   
As Empower College Prep develops its strategic plan for the next 3-5 years, a theme is around growth and replication. The attached tool was developed by the Arizona Charter Schools Association and was adapted from the New York Charter School Center’s Replicating Quality Schools Summit. This provides deeper context and analysis for the Senior Management Team and Board to more clearly define what we are seeking to replicate and grow, our readiness to replicate, and the strategic steps required to do so.
 
V. Executive Session to discuss ED performance and compensation
