Kathy Santoro presented pages 1-7 of the Board of Trustees Handbook with proposed changes.
Of note:
1. Discussion of what Committees HoS *must* be on as opposed to *can* be on
–Does HoS have the ability to vote on the committees? Katie Holt to review bylaws
—Language altered to identify three specific committees HoS must be on and added language that permits the HoS to identify a designee, as needed, for other committees
2. Discussion of Board of Trustees responsibilities
—Need to go back to this discussion at the next meeting to add specific language from the renewal process about academic oversight and the need to review disaggregated data on a more regular basis
—Discussion re: Board of Trustees responsibilities regarding school policies
—Clarity needed; Committee needs to review what other Charter School Board of Trustees are responsible for regarding policy oversight
3. Discussion of expectations of the Board
—Financial contribution expectation should be amended to excuse staff members
