Description:  State statute 124E.07 Subd. 4 requires, "Board bylaws shall outline the process and procedures for changing the board's governance structure..." (and then continues with the process that must be used).

Our bylaws reference the correct statute but doesn’t actually ‘outline the process and procedures’ for changing the structure.  

Recommendation from our Authorizer to make the following change:
Article III, #1 is currently:
Number of Directors; Board Composition. The Board of Directors shall consist of not fewer than five (5) nor more than nine (9) unrelated Directors, excluding ex officio non-voting Directors, if any, as determined by the Board from time to time. The composition of the Board shall be in compliance with Minn. Stat. Section 124E.07, Subd. 3 (or successor statute). The Board shall maintain a no clear majority structure, which can only be amended in accordance with the requirements in Minn. Stat. Section 124E.07, Subd. 4 (or successor statute).

Recommended change to:
Number of Directors; Board Composition. The Board of Directors shall consist of not fewer than five (5) nor more than nine (9) unrelated Directors, excluding ex officio non-voting Directors, if any, as determined by the Board from time to time. The composition of the Board shall be in compliance with Minn. Stat. Section 124E.07, Subd. 3 (or successor statute). The Board shall maintain no clear majority structure. Any change to the Board's governance structure shall be made consistent with Chapter 317A and may occur only upon: (1) approval by a majority vote of the Board of Directors; (2) approval by a majority vote of the licensed teachers employed by the School as teachers who provide instruction to students, including licensed teachers providing instruction under a contract between the School and a cooperative; and (3) approval by the School's authorizer. Any change in the Board's governance structure must conform to the board composition requirements of Minn. Stat. Section 124E.07, Subd. 3 (or successor statute).

Description:  I reviewed my evaluation feedback and incorporated it into these goals for the year.

Description:  Topics that could be addressed at the retreat:

• Board training plan for 26-27 (last year)
• Policy work
• Sub committee work

For the Self Assessment and Board + Individual Board Member Goals:
WIth CharterSource this year, Board Members will be able to take their assessment online, they will provide a summary, then the professional development can also happen online.
For the Board Self-Assessment:
The assessment timeline is as follows:

• We typically need a week's notice to get things ready for your team to start taking the assessment. 
• Once we open an assessment window it will be open for 2 weeks for your team to submit their responses. 
• After we close the assessment window, we will work to create our summary reports and recommendations. We will share those reports 2 weeks after the close of your assessment window.

We need to provide them the dates for the window to do the assessment.
