Discuss Personnel Matters
Discussed a matter relating to two employee contracts, one for a teacher position and one for a teaching assistant. Ms. Pieper presented the resumes.
Discussed an employee personnel matter.
Discussed proposed agreement between SA and Telra a charter school in Charlotte. No IQ requirement but focus is advanced learning, and they are currently K-8 and looking to expand to include 9-12. Telra is looking to include SA as a preferred charter feeder, giving SA students priority. Telra is asking for us to move quickly because they are starting enrollment. Our approval would not be an indication of the SA endorsing Telra, but just a pathway. The agreement does requires that Telra seek pre-approval to use our logo/materials.
