Call the Meeting to Order

II. ED & School Updates

A.

ED End of Year Review - Update

Jessica relayed that Board leadership had met with the ED to deliver the feedback and results of the Mid-Year Evaluation process. To avoid a repetitive process, the EOY touch-base will be pushed to July or August, pending further discussion on which month would make the most sense. The standard review cadence will be preserved in the upcoming year.

A.

Individual Goal-Setting

B.

Policy review

Jessica reviewed distribution requirements for the Conflict of Interest, Code of Ethics, and Whistleblower policies, as well as some anticipated updates to those documents that will be up for a vote in July. The policies will be updated in accordance with Counsel's recommendations - mostly language adjustments to align as closely as possible with the governing legal framework and there will be one or two points of clarification on language, to be discussed further in next month's Governance Committee meeting once the rest of the Committee has had a chance to review. 

 

Jessica and Malik will also touch base on school policy updates, including benefits review, that the Board can expect to see and vote on in July.
