Monthly
Contact: The grant calls for each school to have monthly phone check-in
with
Governance Academy staff to discuss progress and any issues or concerns.
The staff person
assigned to your school is listed below. Your staff contact will arrange
a time with you for
your monthly check in.
Office Hours: The grant calls
for Governance Academy staff to hold 4 office hours per month
to field more technical, specific governance related questions that arise
for you. Michelle
and Beryl will each take responsibility for 2 hours each month. To make
it easier for
everyone to remember, Michelle and Beryl have set aside Wednesdays from
2:30 to 3:30
pm. The schedule through the end of the year is attached along with contact
information for
Beryl and Michelle.
Portfolio Requirements: The grant calls for each
school to complete a Portfolio documenting
the work that your school has done as part of the Governance Academy.
To complete the
program your school will need to submit either a flash drive or CD at
the final Quarterly
Meeting which includes all of the following documents, individualized
for your school’s
governing board:
a. A complete, updated copy of the charter
b. A complete and updated version of your by-laws
c. A complete complement of each required policy
d. An annual board calendar
e. A board member job description
f. A board member commitment statement
g. As a group we will develop several other items that will be a part of the portfolio documenting your work at the Governance Academy (including templates for an academic and fiscal dashboard as well as a school director evaluation process and tools).
