Xhazzie did some research on Personnel Committees from other charter schools, both in and out of state.  Unlike in other states, Mass. Law states that the HOS only does the hiring and firing of staff.
Many confuse the Personnel Committee here with a Personnel Dept. or HR Department.  During renewal years, the Personnel Committee gets a little more involved in a more HR type role.

Goals of Personnel Committee:
Assist the HOS in easily measurable goals creation 
Supporting the HOS with items that she brings to the committee for guidance
Streamlining the HOS Evaluation process by highlighting what is important.  i.e. one item from each of the four main categories
(We need agreement on the process with the Board.) and Maintaining the Evaluation process timeline

Does the Board want surveys to be the prevue of the Board?
What surveys should be administered?  As per HOS contract it says only these below:
VAL-Ed Leadership Survey 
Board on Track survey
In-house Parent and Faculty Satisfaction 







 

The job description for the Personnel Committee is close to Section 6 of the by-laws.  Under Section 7, part (b) is not part of the Personnel committee perview and committee recommends that at the next by-law review it should be removed.

Board on Track calls it the "CEO Support and Evaluation Committee."

Name change recommended:  Personnel Committee now to be known as the HOS Support and Evaluation Committee

Action item: Katie will tweak the Board on Track Job Description into a paragraph for MCCPS to be voted on at next meeting.
 

In discussion about streamlining the current 40+ HOS Evaluation markers the committee recommends cutting the volume down to the most important items.  Nina will backfit the already approved HOS Goals into the 4 Main Areas in the HOS Evaluation Rubric and focus in on as many of the elements in the rubric that her goals pertain to.  The committee will then look at any missing elements that are important enough to also consider next month.

Next meeting date:  Dec. 7, 2017
