Progress Monitoring Report

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.

Policy CBI (ED Eval)
Sept:
