2021-2022 Head of School Evaluation Process
We continue to run this process with hearing sessions. We will discuss findings further in next meeting. Daniel and Krishna are continuing the equity audit, so those findings should be available next meeting as well.
B.
Board Assessment process for 2021-2022
5 out of 8 Board Members have completed assessment. Christina to follow up on open surveys.
C.
Board Membership, Recruitment, and Training
Christina to follow up on a few people. Academic data crunching capacity would be helpful. Finance background isn't necessary, but would be nice. Let's keep thinking about what this looks like in future meetings.
III. Updates on School Policies and Required Documents
A.
Discuss updates to school policies
Exit interviews. Sarah to get questions that were asked from Jan. Also, Sarah to work with finalizing the process, but roughly would initiate from a member from the Exec Comm. Should the person not want to fill out a google form, then a member of the Exec Comm to make themselves available.
Overall policies may be presented to overall board for approval. Davis to follow up with Greg.
B.
