Motion to adjourn
By: Hannah Heck Seconded by: Susan Beckett- Mitchell
There was no notable discussion on the motion.
Board self assessment: looks good and let’s do it in April as it’s on the board calendar (the board calendar says due back in June but let’s have it due before the May meeting? Will need to update link so people who have already filled out can fill out again this year!)
Bylaws: committee to review streamlined draft that Hannah sent out prior to February meeting.
Social Media Policy: Mallie to ask Development Committee tor review at tomorrow’s meeting or in between with feedback prior to next Governance Committee meeting; Dr, Tanner to confirm staff feedback is included. Goal is to have to board by Feb meeting. Vote in March.
Staff/Financial policies: move quarterly board policy review to February (from Jan) on an ongoing basis and for this year. Need to follow up with finance committee about procurement policy, need to confirm board approved procurement policy (from Dec 2, 2025 email from Hannah) is in line with finance manual and any requirements from APS/the state. We will look at review at our Feb meeting and and propose for adoption by full board in February if changes. We will then post the procurement policy on the website after that. If not already in our procurement policy we might want to make a process for sole source contracts where we keep the reasoning in our files/documentation from our legal counsel where needed.
Board Calendar: punt to a future meeting to review the board calendar in total
Board Retreat: Another option is Adam Lechnir- supports superintendents and Dr. Tanner will check with him on strategic planning when she meets with him tomorrow. Want to determine his expense and experience with charters. Some benefit to Lisa from GCSA as she knows our school already. We would like whomever is doing our strategic planning work to be able to come to our board retreat on March 14. Need to confirm in the next few weeks what we do; have a conversation at the board meeting.
Future Work: Dr. Tanner to explore hiring an HR consultant to help with HR policies. We need to look at Dr. Tanner’s list she sent of future work for our committee.
Next meeting: Mallie to ask Ashley to delete and she will make a new one. Will move to start meeting first Wednesday of the month at 7:30 AM.
