II. Unfinished Business
A.
Reschedule Training w/ GCSA
- New survey out to pick a new date (Tangi/Chanel to send) - include 3 dates to vote on.
- Urgent action needed.
- November and December are already tight on the training calendar for GCSA.
- Available during the week as well as the weekend.
- Training Requirements due to Fulton County - the only times we can submit:
- 1st qtr. Sept 30
- 2nd qtr. Dec 31
- 3rd qtr. Mar 31
- 4th qtr. June 30th
- Stress the importance of this training requirement. Once individuals confirm availability on a particular date, attendance is expected. Training must be in-person and we need quorum.
- No training hours have been recorded to Fulton County for the 1st or 2nd quarter. Our New Board Member training recording was not available to receive credit.

Committee Goals

- 2. Assist in new Governing Board member recruitment (i.e. board member recruitment packet, mini training to assist in the process).

- 4. Quarterly updating and monitoring the board calendar. Including events such as the teacher holiday party and end of year party.
