Discuss Board Meeting Schedule for 16/17 school year.
We will start posting our agendas on Fridays so no one has to drive up on Sunday to post. Our meetings will be held on Wednesdays on campus. There will be board meeting in August to revise handbooks and approve the remaining at-will agreements. The board meeting will be held on August 10. Freda suggested we move the annual meeting into September. This will give the TF's a chance to meet prior to this and set goals. Also, we will be able to seat new parent board members at that time. Meet on September 10 for annual board meeting. Place to be decided.
