II. Head of School Review Process
A.
Updates
- Malik Russell gave an overview of the assessment process and walked the Committee through the rubric, based on the school's priorities and relevant metrics. The priorities are structured around the mission goals of rigor, self-advocacy, and strategic vision. The rubric focuses on the outcomes that most reflect whether the school's chosen course of action is effectively aligned with its mission.
- Committee members asked questions regarding the context for the chosen metrics and Mr. Russell's approach and philosophy.
- This update will be shared at full Board meeting on Thursday.
III. Update on Accountability Practices
A.
Individual Accountability Goals
- Aaron Bothner will share at this month's Board meeting
- Ellen Chen will share at the February board meeting
B.
Board development
- Malik Russell shared current preparations for the Board professional development day, which will include an activity that reflects the school's staff development, further DEI work, and a math-oriented activity. A short OML portion will also be added, as a follow-up to the self-assessment.
IV. Open Meeting Law Audit
A.
Reminder
- Partial OML assessment results are in, and they are already very interesting. These results will be very informative for the PD day.
- Committee members discussed a few points that the assessment had raised; these will be added to the assessment results for preparation of a short OML review on PD day.
- There has been more engagement with the OML assessment than with the BOT assessment - perhaps we can write our own version for next year which is less cumbersome/more engaging for Board members.
- Jessica Boulet stated that these assessments will be used to develop short reference sheets for Board (and potentially also staff) to use.
V. Closing Items
A.
Look Ahead
- Succession planning still a work in progress, will be ready for DOE when needed
B.
Adjourn Meeting
There being no further business to be transacted, and upon motion duly made, seconded and approved, the meeting was adjourned at 6:45 PM.
