This will be measured by monthly board member-led trainings related to the policy manual and presented at board meetings as well as monthly reports from the school director on trainings performed, and a decrease in the number of complaints regarding scholar behavior that are improperly escalated to school administration and the governing board. Goal 2: The gap between current academic performance and stated academic performance goals as outlined in our charter will decrease, with the margin of decrease to be recommended by the Academic Excellence committee. This will be measured by end of year (EOY) test results for the 2023-24 school year. Goal 3: An average of at least three school tours will be given each month of the 2023-24 school year to families of prospective scholars. This will be measured by the number of school tours and follow-ups completed.) --Academic Excellence (Nana) --Finance (Scott Allen) ----Capital Fundraising committee --Building/Construction (Jon Jensen) --Parent Organization/Culture (Kara Sawyer) --Governance (Liz Churchill/Falisha Petroff) ----Proposal on guidelines for investing NWA's monetary reserves ----Public Relations, Technology, and Safety committees --School Land Trust (Angie Ashbaker) --Marketing (Jim Meyer/Brandy) ----Discuss ----Adjust as needed ----Approve/Vote 7:25 p.m.: Director Report (Angie Rasmussen) --Enrollment update --Staff update --School update --What can the board do to help? ----Discuss 7:45 p.m.: Adjourn to closed session (Nana) --Closed session to discuss property, personnel, and/or legal matters that are properly the subject of closed meetings. 8:00 p.m.: Closing (Nana) --Based on today's meeting, do we need to update any NWA documents (bylaws, charter, policy manual, etc.)? --Agenda items for future meetings --Review tonight's action items --Next meeting August 24, 2023 8:05 p.m.: Adjournment--(May be adjourned sooner, pending the coverage of agenda items.)
