How a meeting works in CharterBoards

From agenda to posted minutes, in three steps.

01

Build the agenda

Start from your template or last month's meeting. Attach the documents to each item, then send the agenda to your board and download it as a PDF.

02

Run the meeting

Take attendance, record each motion, who moved and seconded it, and how every member voted. Put the agenda on the screen for the room.

03

Post the minutes

The minutes are drafted by the time you adjourn. Approve them at the next meeting and publish them to your public board page.

Minutes

Minutes that are ready when the meeting ends.

Agenda items carry over into the minutes. Record motions and votes as they happen, and CharterBoards writes them up in a clean, standard format.

  • Attendance with arrival and departure times
  • Motions, seconds, and each member's vote
  • A PDF for the board binder, generated for you

Public board page

Your public record, posted for you.

Every board gets a public page with upcoming meetings, agendas, minutes, members, and committees. Parents, reporters, and your authorizer find everything in one place. Prefer to keep it private? Turn it off.

  • Agendas and minutes posted with one click
  • A meeting calendar people can subscribe to
  • Member names and bios, committee pages

For board members

What your board members see.

Members read the agenda and packet on their phone or laptop, and send you questions before the meeting instead of during it. Nothing to install.

  • The full agenda with times and attachments
  • Feedback on the agenda before it's final
  • Reminders before each meeting

Who it's for

Made for the person who actually runs the board's paperwork.

Usually that's the school leader or the office manager, not a full-time board clerk. CharterBoards started with charter schools and now serves other school boards too.

Who runs CharterBoards

Built by a board chair.

Read the story
"I was the chair of a public charter school board in Georgia, and I realized most of my work was compliance with our authorizer, not improving outcomes for kids. I'm a programmer, so I wrote software to help with that. After a while, other schools started using it."
