Call the Meeting to Order

N. Reinholt called a meeting of the Governance Committee Committee of Community Regional Charter School to order on Wednesday Jun 8, 2022 at 1:01 PM.

II. Governance Committee

A.

Progress Monitoring Report

Discussed updates to renewal. Agreed to complete policy audit by 9/22 and to start prioritizing review of policies upon completion of audit. Request sent to commission for financial support.

B.

Board On Track

Reviewed platform. Will discuss with whole Board setting up a special meeting for BoardOnTrack to complete a mini training for all members if they feel it's necessary.

C.

Board Self Evaluation

Comments on Current tool:

  • Board members don’t know what they don’t know. Does this evaluation adequately assist in identifying weaknesses? I.e. what is an appropriate amount of time?
  • Incorporate Performance Measures
  • Understanding where the school is at with student outcomes
  • Self-Evaluation title is misleading

 Next steps:

  • Danielle will reach out to BoardOnTrack to inquire about their Board Self Evaluation tool. Would still be on track to complete a Board self-eval by October if we initiated in August.

D.

Executive Director Evaluation

Policy CBI (ED Eval) 

Sept:

  • Board approves district goals and employment goals
  • Travis sets individual goals and completes self-eval
  • Board will complete ED Eval before October 1.
