Urban Montessori Charter School welcomes your participation at Board meetings. The purpose of a public meeting of the Board of Directors (“Board”) is to conduct the affairs of the organization in public. Your participation assures us of continuing community interest in our school and assists the Board in making the best decisions for our school. To assist you in the ease of speaking/participating in our meetings, guidelines are provided at the bottom of this agenda. All materials for all board and committee meetings, including audio recordings of Regular Board Meetings, are available on our BoardOnTrack public portal and also through the UMCS School Calendar.

Topics for next meeting
Greg shared the announcement that was included in the agenda: the County Board of Education's vote on charter renewal is in December. If approved, our new charter states that upon approval, all active committees cease, and their work reverts back to the entire Board, in alignment with the Effective School Boards Framework.
No changes needed.
