We discussed HOS goals and performance review process

• Discussed Katie's slide deck which goes over the process, end to end.
• John offered to share the deck with the group for review.
• Chris suggested that Katie present to the full board at the end of this month.
• The Mid Year Review will happen in February.
• We reviewed the timing of the three surveys; Board on Track, University of Kansas, and Val-ED.  They are all administered by Katie and John in April.  Staff are given development time to complete these.  Faculty are given directions and best practices.
• We also discussed the role of educational fellows as their role relates to the different surveys.  We will plan to include them to maximize the data pool.

We discussed how this meeting is run.  Our agenda will be determined by the Board as well as monthly milestones as defined in the slide deck.

• We discussed ways to ensure the survey data is anonymous.  John and Katie will provide best practices to respondents to avoid self identifying or referring to colleagues too specifically.
• We discussed if the HOS sending their own "Culture and Climate" survey is a best practice.  It was determined that the survey in question is about overall school culture and professional development, rather than an evaluation of the HOS specifically, so it is appropriate to continue and does not overlap with the other surveys.  Also the April date is too late for the HOS to make meaningful changes to professional development or culture, so the survey is well timed in January.  These results are presented to the board.  John will help make an objective analysis of the results.
