New Board Composition ndash George DesMarteau The Proposal for Bylaw changes (dated May 5) was discussed at length New state regulations state that employees may not serve on the Board of Trustee because of potential conflicts of interest However this school was founded on the belief that all stakeholders should be included in decision making entities Excluding teaching staff from this Board would violate this belief The following was put forward for consideration

bull A new entity called the ldquoEducational Governance Councilrdquo (EGC) would be formed and would include all Board members plus the School Leader and staff representatives This new EGC would act in an advisory capacity to the Board of Trustees in all matters

New Board Composition ndash George DesMarteau The Proposal for Bylaw changes (dated May 5) was discussed at length New state regulations state that employees may not serve on the Board of Trustee because of potential conflicts of interest However this school was founded on the belief that all stakeholders should be included in decision making entities Excluding teaching staff from this Board would violate this belief The following was put forward for consideration

bull The School Leader and staff members of the Board of Trustees would be removed from the current Board structure to meet the new state regulations The restructured Board of Trustees would continue to be the ultimate entity legally responsible for school governance

bull A new entity called the ldquoEducational Governance Councilrdquo (EGC) would be formed and would include all Board members plus the School Leader and staff representatives This new EGC would act in an advisory capacity to the Board of Trustees in all matters

bull These changes would be reflected in the bylaws

This proposal was discussed by the Board and it was agreed that it should be sent to the State Education Department for their reviewapproval

New Board Composition ndash George DesMarteau The Proposal for Bylaw changes (dated May 5) was discussed at length New state regulations state that employees may not serve on the Board of Trustee because of potential conflicts of interest However this school was founded on the belief that all stakeholders should be included in decision making entities Excluding teaching staff from this Board would violate this belief The following was put forward for consideration

bull A new entity called the ldquoEducational Governance Councilrdquo (EGC) would be formed and would include all Board members plus the School Leader and staff representatives This new EGC would act in an advisory capacity to the Board of Trustees in all matters

New Board Composition ndash George DesMarteau The Proposal for Bylaw changes (dated May 5) was discussed at length New state regulations state that employees may not serve on the Board of Trustee because of potential conflicts of interest However this school was founded on the belief that all stakeholders should be included in decision making entities Excluding teaching staff from this Board would violate this belief The following was put forward for consideration

bull The School Leader and staff members of the Board of Trustees would be removed from the current Board structure to meet the new state regulations The restructured Board of Trustees would continue to be the ultimate entity legally responsible for school governance

bull A new entity called the ldquoEducational Governance Councilrdquo (EGC) would be formed and would include all Board members plus the School Leader and staff representatives This new EGC would act in an advisory capacity to the Board of Trustees in all matters

bull These changes would be reflected in the bylaws

This proposal was discussed by the Board and it was agreed that it should be sent to the State Education Department for their reviewapproval

New Board Composition ndash George DesMarteau The Proposal for Bylaw changes (dated May 5) was discussed at length New state regulations state that employees may not serve on the Board of Trustee because of potential conflicts of interest However this school was founded on the belief that all stakeholders should be included in decision making entities Excluding teaching staff from this Board would violate this belief The following was put forward for consideration

bull The School Leader and staff members of the Board of Trustees would be removed from the current Board structure to meet the new state regulations The restructured Board of Trustees would continue to be the ultimate entity legally responsible for school governance

bull A new entity called the ldquoEducational Governance Councilrdquo (EGC) would be formed and would include all Board members plus the School Leader and staff representatives This new EGC would act in an advisory capacity to the Board of Trustees in all matters

bull These changes would be reflected in the bylaws

This proposal was discussed by the Board and it was agreed that it should be sent to the State Education Department for their reviewapproval

New Board Composition ndash George DesMarteau The Proposal for Bylaw changes (dated May 5) was discussed at length New state regulations state that employees may not serve on the Board of Trustee because of potential conflicts of interest However this school was founded on the belief that all stakeholders should be included in decision making entities Excluding teaching staff from this Board would violate this belief The following was put forward for consideration

bull The School Leader and staff members of the Board of Trustees would be removed from the current Board structure to meet the new state regulations The restructured Board of Trustees would continue to be the ultimate entity legally responsible for school governance

bull A new entity called the ldquoEducational Governance Councilrdquo (EGC) would be formed and would include all Board members plus the School Leader and staff representatives This new EGC would act in an advisory capacity to the Board of Trustees in all matters

New Board Composition ndash George DesMarteau The Proposal for Bylaw changes (dated May 5) was discussed at length New state regulations state that employees may not serve on the Board of Trustee because of potential conflicts of interest However this school was founded on the belief that all stakeholders should be included in decision making entities Excluding teaching staff from this Board would violate this belief The following was put forward for consideration

bull The School Leader and staff members of the Board of Trustees would be removed from the current Board structure to meet the new state regulations The restructured Board of Trustees would continue to be the ultimate entity legally responsible for school governance

bull A new entity called the ldquoEducational Governance Councilrdquo (EGC) would be formed and would include all Board members plus the School Leader and staff representatives This new EGC would act in an advisory capacity to the Board of Trustees in all matters

bull These changes would be reflected in the bylaws

This proposal was discussed by the Board and it was agreed that it should be sent to the State Education Department for their reviewapproval

New Board Composition ndash George DesMarteau The Proposal for Bylaw changes (dated May 5) was discussed at length New state regulations state that employees may not serve on the Board of Trustee because of potential conflicts of interest However this school was founded on the belief that all stakeholders should be included in decision making entities Excluding teaching staff from this Board would violate this belief The following was put forward for consideration

bull The School Leader and staff members of the Board of Trustees would be removed from the current Board structure to meet the new state regulations The restructured Board of Trustees would continue to be the ultimate entity legally responsible for school governance

bull A new entity called the ldquoEducational Governance Councilrdquo (EGC) would be formed and would include all Board members plus the School Leader and staff representatives This new EGC would act in an advisory capacity to the Board of Trustees in all matters

bull These changes would be reflected in the bylaws

This proposal was discussed by the Board and it was agreed that it should be sent to the State Education Department for their reviewapproval

New Board Composition ndash George DesMarteau The Proposal for Bylaw changes (dated May 5) was discussed at length New state regulations state that employees may not serve on the Board of Trustee because of potential conflicts of interest However this school was founded on the belief that all stakeholders should be included in decision making entities Excluding teaching staff from this Board would violate this belief The following was put forward for consideration

bull The School Leader and staff members of the Board of Trustees would be removed from the current Board structure to meet the new state regulations The restructured Board of Trustees would continue to be the ultimate entity legally responsible for school governance

bull A new entity called the ldquoEducational Governance Councilrdquo (EGC) would be formed and would include all Board members plus the School Leader and staff representatives This new EGC would act in an advisory capacity to the Board of Trustees in all matters

bull These changes would be reflected in the bylaws

This proposal was discussed by the Board and it was agreed that it should be sent to the State Education Department for their reviewapproval

New Board Composition ndash George DesMarteau The Proposal for Bylaw changes (dated May 5) was discussed at length New state regulations state that employees may not serve on the Board of Trustee because of potential conflicts of interest However this school was founded on the belief that all stakeholders should be included in decision making entities Excluding teaching staff from this Board would violate this belief The following was put forward for consideration

bull The School Leader and staff members of the Board of Trustees would be removed from the current Board structure to meet the new state regulations The restructured Board of Trustees would continue to be the ultimate entity legally responsible for school governance

bull A new entity called the ldquoEducational Governance Councilrdquo (EGC) would be formed and would include all Board members plus the School Leader and staff representatives This new EGC would act in an advisory capacity to the Board of Trustees in all matters

bull These changes would be reflected in the bylaws

This proposal was discussed by the Board and it was agreed that it should be sent to the State Education Department for their reviewapproval

New Board Composition ndash George DesMarteau The Proposal for Bylaw changes (dated May 5) was discussed at length New state regulations state that employees may not serve on the Board of Trustee because of potential conflicts of interest However this school was founded on the belief that all stakeholders should be included in decision making entities Excluding teaching staff from this Board would violate this belief The following was put forward for consideration

bull The School Leader and staff members of the Board of Trustees would be removed from the current Board structure to meet the new state regulations The restructured Board of Trustees would continue to be the ultimate entity legally responsible for school governance

bull A new entity called the ldquoEducational Governance Councilrdquo (EGC) would be formed and would include all Board members plus the School Leader and staff representatives This new EGC would act in an advisory capacity to the Board of Trustees in all matters

bull These changes would be reflected in the bylaws

This proposal was discussed by the Board and it was agreed that it should be sent to the State Education Department for their reviewapproval

Teacher Presentation First Grade Teachers Shannon Hillman and Jenny Elahi are trying to strike a strong balance between ELA and Expeditions - they want to shine a light on ELA and also focus on Expeditions The teachers felt that having 12 - 2 hour time blocks (ELAExpeditions block and a MathExpeditions block) would create more balance and minimize the transition problems from area to another The ELAExpeditions time block would include fundamental skills literacy strands might include reading to learn as well learning to read expeditions vocabulary and writing process MathExpeditions time block works on concept that can connect and drive the expedition forward They used games and stories to work on math strategies and make connections between day time and money The teachers will be evaluating the block time to determine its effectiveness

New Board Composition ndash George DesMarteau The Proposal for Bylaw changes (dated May 5) was discussed at length New state regulations state that employees may not serve on the Board of Trustee because of potential conflicts of interest However this school was founded on the belief that all stakeholders should be included in decision making entities Excluding teaching staff from this Board would violate this belief The following was put forward for consideration

bull The School Leader and staff members of the Board of Trustees would be removed from the current Board structure to meet the new state regulations The restructured Board of Trustees would continue to be the ultimate entity legally responsible for school governance

bull A new entity called the ldquoEducational Governance Councilrdquo (EGC) would be formed and would include all Board members plus the School Leader and staff representatives This new EGC would act in an advisory capacity to the Board of Trustees in all matters

bull These changes would be reflected in the bylaws

This proposal was discussed by the Board and it was agreed that it should be sent to the State Education Department for their reviewapproval

New Board Composition ndash George DesMarteau The Proposal for Bylaw changes (dated May 5) was discussed at length New state regulations state that employees may not serve on the Board of Trustee because of potential conflicts of interest However this school was founded on the belief that all stakeholders should be included in decision making entities Excluding teaching staff from this Board would violate this belief The following was put forward for consideration

bull The School Leader and staff members of the Board of Trustees would be removed from the current Board structure to meet the new state regulations The restructured Board of Trustees would continue to be the ultimate entity legally responsible for school governance

bull A new entity called the ldquoEducational Governance Councilrdquo (EGC) would be formed and would include all Board members plus the School Leader and staff representatives This new EGC would act in an advisory capacity to the Board of Trustees in all matters

bull These changes would be reflected in the bylaws

This proposal was discussed by the Board and it was agreed that it should be sent to the State Education Department for their reviewapproval

New Board Composition ndash George DesMarteau The Proposal for Bylaw changes (dated May 5) was discussed at length New state regulations state that employees may not serve on the Board of Trustee because of potential conflicts of interest However this school was founded on the belief that all stakeholders should be included in decision making entities Excluding teaching staff from this Board would violate this belief The following was put forward for consideration

bull The School Leader and staff members of the Board of Trustees would be removed from the current Board structure to meet the new state regulations The restructured Board of Trustees would continue to be the ultimate entity legally responsible for school governance

bull A new entity called the ldquoEducational Governance Councilrdquo (EGC) would be formed and would include all Board members plus the School Leader and staff representatives This new EGC would act in an advisory capacity to the Board of Trustees in all matters

bull These changes would be reflected in the bylaws

This proposal was discussed by the Board and it was agreed that it should be sent to the State Education Department for their reviewapproval

New Board Composition ndash George DesMarteau The Proposal for Bylaw changes (dated May 5) was discussed at length New state regulations state that employees may not serve on the Board of Trustee because of potential conflicts of interest However this school was founded on the belief that all stakeholders should be included in decision making entities Excluding teaching staff from this Board would violate this belief The following was put forward for consideration

bull The School Leader and staff members of the Board of Trustees would be removed from the current Board structure to meet the new state regulations The restructured Board of Trustees would continue to be the ultimate entity legally responsible for school governance

bull A new entity called the ldquoEducational Governance Councilrdquo (EGC) would be formed and would include all Board members plus the School Leader and staff representatives This new EGC would act in an advisory capacity to the Board of Trustees in all matters

Teacher Presentation First Grade Teachers Shannon Hillman and Jenny Elahi are trying to strike a strong balance between ELA and Expeditions - they want to shine a light on ELA and also focus on Expeditions The teachers felt that having 12 - 2 hour time blocks (ELAExpeditions block and a MathExpeditions block) would create more balance and minimize the transition problems from area to another The ELAExpeditions time block would include fundamental skills literacy strands might include reading to learn as well learning to read expeditions vocabulary and writing process MathExpeditions time block works on concept that can connect and drive the expedition forward They used games and stories to work on math strategies and make connections between day time and money The teachers will be evaluating the block time to determine its effectiveness

Teacher Presentation First Grade Teachers Shannon Hillman and Jenny Elahi are trying to strike a strong balance between ELA and Expeditions - they want to shine a light on ELA and also focus on Expeditions The teachers felt that having 12 - 2 hour time blocks (ELAExpeditions block and a MathExpeditions block) would create more balance and minimize the transition problems from area to another The ELAExpeditions time block would include fundamental skills literacy strands might include reading to learn as well learning to read expeditions vocabulary and writing process MathExpeditions time block works on concept that can connect and drive the expedition forward They used games and stories to work on math strategies and make connections between day time and money The teachers will be evaluating the block time to determine its effectiveness

New Board Composition ndash George DesMarteau The Proposal for Bylaw changes (dated May 5) was discussed at length New state regulations state that employees may not serve on the Board of Trustee because of potential conflicts of interest However this school was founded on the belief that all stakeholders should be included in decision making entities Excluding teaching staff from this Board would violate this belief The following was put forward for consideration

bull The School Leader and staff members of the Board of Trustees would be removed from the current Board structure to meet the new state regulations The restructured Board of Trustees would continue to be the ultimate entity legally responsible for school governance

bull A new entity called the ldquoEducational Governance Councilrdquo (EGC) would be formed and would include all Board members plus the School Leader and staff representatives This new EGC would act in an advisory capacity to the Board of Trustees in all matters

New Board Composition ndash George DesMarteau The Proposal for Bylaw changes (dated May 5) was discussed at length New state regulations state that employees may not serve on the Board of Trustee because of potential conflicts of interest However this school was founded on the belief that all stakeholders should be included in decision making entities Excluding teaching staff from this Board would violate this belief The following was put forward for consideration

bull The School Leader and staff members of the Board of Trustees would be removed from the current Board structure to meet the new state regulations The restructured Board of Trustees would continue to be the ultimate entity legally responsible for school governance

bull A new entity called the ldquoEducational Governance Councilrdquo (EGC) would be formed and would include all Board members plus the School Leader and staff representatives This new EGC would act in an advisory capacity to the Board of Trustees in all matters

bull These changes would be reflected in the bylaws

This proposal was discussed by the Board and it was agreed that it should be sent to the State Education Department for their reviewapproval

New Board Composition ndash George DesMarteau The Proposal for Bylaw changes (dated May 5) was discussed at length New state regulations state that employees may not serve on the Board of Trustee because of potential conflicts of interest However this school was founded on the belief that all stakeholders should be included in decision making entities Excluding teaching staff from this Board would violate this belief The following was put forward for consideration

bull The School Leader and staff members of the Board of Trustees would be removed from the current Board structure to meet the new state regulations The restructured Board of Trustees would continue to be the ultimate entity legally responsible for school governance

bull A new entity called the ldquoEducational Governance Councilrdquo (EGC) would be formed and would include all Board members plus the School Leader and staff representatives This new EGC would act in an advisory capacity to the Board of Trustees in all matters

bull These changes would be reflected in the bylaws

This proposal was discussed by the Board and it was agreed that it should be sent to the State Education Department for their reviewapproval

New Board Composition ndash George DesMarteau The Proposal for Bylaw changes (dated May 5) was discussed at length New state regulations state that employees may not serve on the Board of Trustee because of potential conflicts of interest However this school was founded on the belief that all stakeholders should be included in decision making entities Excluding teaching staff from this Board would violate this belief The following was put forward for consideration

bull The School Leader and staff members of the Board of Trustees would be removed from the current Board structure to meet the new state regulations The restructured Board of Trustees would continue to be the ultimate entity legally responsible for school governance

bull A new entity called the ldquoEducational Governance Councilrdquo (EGC) would be formed and would include all Board members plus the School Leader and staff representatives This new EGC would act in an advisory capacity to the Board of Trustees in all matters

New Board Composition ndash George DesMarteau The Proposal for Bylaw changes (dated May 5) was discussed at length New state regulations state that employees may not serve on the Board of Trustee because of potential conflicts of interest However this school was founded on the belief that all stakeholders should be included in decision making entities Excluding teaching staff from this Board would violate this belief The following was put forward for consideration

bull The School Leader and staff members of the Board of Trustees would be removed from the current Board structure to meet the new state regulations The restructured Board of Trustees would continue to be the ultimate entity legally responsible for school governance

New Board Composition ndash George DesMarteau The Proposal for Bylaw changes (dated May 5) was discussed at length New state regulations state that employees may not serve on the Board of Trustee because of potential conflicts of interest However this school was founded on the belief that all stakeholders should be included in decision making entities Excluding teaching staff from this Board would violate this belief The following was put forward for consideration

bull The School Leader and staff members of the Board of Trustees would be removed from the current Board structure to meet the new state regulations The restructured Board of Trustees would continue to be the ultimate entity legally responsible for school governance

bull A new entity called the ldquoEducational Governance Councilrdquo (EGC) would be formed and would include all Board members plus the School Leader and staff representatives This new EGC would act in an advisory capacity to the Board of Trustees in all matters

New Board Composition ndash George DesMarteau The Proposal for Bylaw changes (dated May 5) was discussed at length New state regulations state that employees may not serve on the Board of Trustee because of potential conflicts of interest However this school was founded on the belief that all stakeholders should be included in decision making entities Excluding teaching staff from this Board would violate this belief The following was put forward for consideration

bull The School Leader and staff members of the Board of Trustees would be removed from the current Board structure to meet the new state regulations The restructured Board of Trustees would continue to be the ultimate entity legally responsible for school governance

bull A new entity called the ldquoEducational Governance Councilrdquo (EGC) would be formed and would include all Board members plus the School Leader and staff representatives This new EGC would act in an advisory capacity to the Board of Trustees in all matters

New Board Composition ndash George DesMarteau The Proposal for Bylaw changes (dated May 5) was discussed at length New state regulations state that employees may not serve on the Board of Trustee because of potential conflicts of interest However this school was founded on the belief that all stakeholders should be included in decision making entities Excluding teaching staff from this Board would violate this belief The following was put forward for consideration

bull The School Leader and staff members of the Board of Trustees would be removed from the current Board structure to meet the new state regulations The restructured Board of Trustees would continue to be the ultimate entity legally responsible for school governance

bull A new entity called the ldquoEducational Governance Councilrdquo (EGC) would be formed and would include all Board members plus the School Leader and staff representatives This new EGC would act in an advisory capacity to the Board of Trustees in all matters

New Board Composition ndash George DesMarteau The Proposal for Bylaw changes (dated May 5) was discussed at length New state regulations state that employees may not serve on the Board of Trustee because of potential conflicts of interest However this school was founded on the belief that all stakeholders should be included in decision making entities Excluding teaching staff from this Board would violate this belief The following was put forward for consideration

bull The School Leader and staff members of the Board of Trustees would be removed from the current Board structure to meet the new state regulations The restructured Board of Trustees would continue to be the ultimate entity legally responsible for school governance

bull A new entity called the ldquoEducational Governance Councilrdquo (EGC) would be formed and would include all Board members plus the School Leader and staff representatives This new EGC would act in an advisory capacity to the Board of Trustees in all matters

New Board Composition ndash George DesMarteau The Proposal for Bylaw changes (dated May 5) was discussed at length New state regulations state that employees may not serve on the Board of Trustee because of potential conflicts of interest However this school was founded on the belief that all stakeholders should be included in decision making entities Excluding teaching staff from this Board would violate this belief The following was put forward for consideration

bull The School Leader and staff members of the Board of Trustees would be removed from the current Board structure to meet the new state regulations The restructured Board of Trustees would continue to be the ultimate entity legally responsible for school governance

bull A new entity called the ldquoEducational Governance Councilrdquo (EGC) would be formed and would include all Board members plus the School Leader and staff representatives This new EGC would act in an advisory capacity to the Board of Trustees in all matters

New Board Composition ndash George DesMarteau The Proposal for Bylaw changes (dated May 5) was discussed at length New state regulations state that employees may not serve on the Board of Trustee because of potential conflicts of interest However this school was founded on the belief that all stakeholders should be included in decision making entities Excluding teaching staff from this Board would violate this belief The following was put forward for consideration

bull The School Leader and staff members of the Board of Trustees would be removed from the current Board structure to meet the new state regulations The restructured Board of Trustees would continue to be the ultimate entity legally responsible for school governance

bull A new entity called the ldquoEducational Governance Councilrdquo (EGC) would be formed and would include all Board members plus the School Leader and staff representatives This new EGC would act in an advisory capacity to the Board of Trustees in all matters

bull These changes would be reflected in the bylaws

This proposal was discussed by the Board and it was agreed that it should be sent to the State Education Department for their reviewapproval

New Board Composition ndash George DesMarteau The Proposal for Bylaw changes (dated May 5) was discussed at length New state regulations state that employees may not serve on the Board of Trustee because of potential conflicts of interest However this school was founded on the belief that all stakeholders should be included in decision making entities Excluding teaching staff from this Board would violate this belief The following was put forward for consideration

bull The School Leader and staff members of the Board of Trustees would be removed from the current Board structure to meet the new state regulations The restructured Board of Trustees would continue to be the ultimate entity legally responsible for school governance

bull A new entity called the ldquoEducational Governance Councilrdquo (EGC) would be formed and would include all Board members plus the School Leader and staff representatives This new EGC would act in an advisory capacity to the Board of Trustees in all matters

bull These changes would be reflected in the bylaws

This proposal was discussed by the Board and it was agreed that it should be sent to the State Education Department for their reviewapproval

New Board Composition ndash George DesMarteau The Proposal for Bylaw changes (dated May 5) was discussed at length New state regulations state that employees may not serve on the Board of Trustee because of potential conflicts of interest However this school was founded on the belief that all stakeholders should be included in decision making entities Excluding teaching staff from this Board would violate this belief The following was put forward for consideration

bull The School Leader and staff members of the Board of Trustees would be removed from the current Board structure to meet the new state regulations The restructured Board of Trustees would continue to be the ultimate entity legally responsible for school governance

bull A new entity called the ldquoEducational Governance Councilrdquo (EGC) would be formed and would include all Board members plus the School Leader and staff representatives This new EGC would act in an advisory capacity to the Board of Trustees in all matters

bull These changes would be reflected in the bylaws

This proposal was discussed by the Board and it was agreed that it should be sent to the State Education Department for their reviewapproval

New Board Composition ndash George DesMarteau The Proposal for Bylaw changes (dated May 5) was discussed at length New state regulations state that employees may not serve on the Board of Trustee because of potential conflicts of interest However this school was founded on the belief that all stakeholders should be included in decision making entities Excluding teaching staff from this Board would violate this belief The following was put forward for consideration

bull The School Leader and staff members of the Board of Trustees would be removed from the current Board structure to meet the new state regulations The restructured Board of Trustees would continue to be the ultimate entity legally responsible for school governance

bull A new entity called the ldquoEducational Governance Councilrdquo (EGC) would be formed and would include all Board members plus the School Leader and staff representatives This new EGC would act in an advisory capacity to the Board of Trustees in all matters

bull These changes would be reflected in the bylaws

This proposal was discussed by the Board and it was agreed that it should be sent to the State Education Department for their reviewapproval

bull A new entity called the ldquoEducational Governance Councilrdquo (EGC) would be formed and would include all Board members plus the School Leader and staff representatives This new EGC would act in an advisory capacity to the Board of Trustees in all matters

New Board Composition ndash George DesMarteau The Proposal for Bylaw changes (dated May 5) was discussed at length New state regulations state that employees may not serve on the Board of Trustee because of potential conflicts of interest However this school was founded on the belief that all stakeholders should be included in decision making entities Excluding teaching staff from this Board would violate this belief The following was put forward for consideration

bull The School Leader and staff members of the Board of Trustees would be removed from the current Board structure to meet the new state regulations The restructured Board of Trustees would continue to be the ultimate entity legally responsible for school governance

bull A new entity called the ldquoEducational Governance Councilrdquo (EGC) would be formed and would include all Board members plus the School Leader and staff representatives This new EGC would act in an advisory capacity to the Board of Trustees in all matters

bull These changes would be reflected in the bylaws

This proposal was discussed by the Board and it was agreed that it should be sent to the State Education Department for their reviewapproval

New Board Composition ndash George DesMarteau The Proposal for Bylaw changes (dated May 5) was discussed at length New state regulations state that employees may not serve on the Board of Trustee because of potential conflicts of interest However this school was founded on the belief that all stakeholders should be included in decision making entities Excluding teaching staff from this Board would violate this belief The following was put forward for consideration

bull The School Leader and staff members of the Board of Trustees would be removed from the current Board structure to meet the new state regulations The restructured Board of Trustees would continue to be the ultimate entity legally responsible for school governance

bull A new entity called the ldquoEducational Governance Councilrdquo (EGC) would be formed and would include all Board members plus the School Leader and staff representatives This new EGC would act in an advisory capacity to the Board of Trustees in all matters

bull These changes would be reflected in the bylaws

This proposal was discussed by the Board and it was agreed that it should be sent to the State Education Department for their reviewapproval

New Board Composition ndash George DesMarteau The Proposal for Bylaw changes (dated May 5) was discussed at length New state regulations state that employees may not serve on the Board of Trustee because of potential conflicts of interest However this school was founded on the belief that all stakeholders should be included in decision making entities Excluding teaching staff from this Board would violate this belief The following was put forward for consideration

bull The School Leader and staff members of the Board of Trustees would be removed from the current Board structure to meet the new state regulations The restructured Board of Trustees would continue to be the ultimate entity legally responsible for school governance

bull A new entity called the ldquoEducational Governance Councilrdquo (EGC) would be formed and would include all Board members plus the School Leader and staff representatives This new EGC would act in an advisory capacity to the Board of Trustees in all matters

bull These changes would be reflected in the bylaws

This proposal was discussed by the Board and it was agreed that it should be sent to the State Education Department for their reviewapproval

New Board Composition ndash George DesMarteau The Proposal for Bylaw changes (dated May 5) was discussed at length New state regulations state that employees may not serve on the Board of Trustee because of potential conflicts of interest However this school was founded on the belief that all stakeholders should be included in decision making entities Excluding teaching staff from this Board would violate this belief The following was put forward for consideration

bull The School Leader and staff members of the Board of Trustees would be removed from the current Board structure to meet the new state regulations The restructured Board of Trustees would continue to be the ultimate entity legally responsible for school governance

bull A new entity called the ldquoEducational Governance Councilrdquo (EGC) would be formed and would include all Board members plus the School Leader and staff representatives This new EGC would act in an advisory capacity to the Board of Trustees in all matters

bull These changes would be reflected in the bylaws

This proposal was discussed by the Board and it was agreed that it should be sent to the State Education Department for their reviewapproval

New Board Composition ndash George DesMarteau The Proposal for Bylaw changes (dated May 5) was discussed at length New state regulations state that employees may not serve on the Board of Trustee because of potential conflicts of interest However this school was founded on the belief that all stakeholders should be included in decision making entities Excluding teaching staff from this Board would violate this belief The following was put forward for consideration

bull The School Leader and staff members of the Board of Trustees would be removed from the current Board structure to meet the new state regulations The restructured Board of Trustees would continue to be the ultimate entity legally responsible for school governance

bull A new entity called the ldquoEducational Governance Councilrdquo (EGC) would be formed and would include all Board members plus the School Leader and staff representatives This new EGC would act in an advisory capacity to the Board of Trustees in all matters

New Board Composition ndash George DesMarteau The Proposal for Bylaw changes (dated May 5) was discussed at length New state regulations state that employees may not serve on the Board of Trustee because of potential conflicts of interest However this school was founded on the belief that all stakeholders should be included in decision making entities Excluding teaching staff from this Board would violate this belief The following was put forward for consideration

bull The School Leader and staff members of the Board of Trustees would be removed from the current Board structure to meet the new state regulations The restructured Board of Trustees would continue to be the ultimate entity legally responsible for school governance

bull A new entity called the ldquoEducational Governance Councilrdquo (EGC) would be formed and would include all Board members plus the School Leader and staff representatives This new EGC would act in an advisory capacity to the Board of Trustees in all matters

bull These changes would be reflected in the bylaws

This proposal was discussed by the Board and it was agreed that it should be sent to the State Education Department for their reviewapproval

New Board Composition ndash George DesMarteau The Proposal for Bylaw changes (dated May 5) was discussed at length New state regulations state that employees may not serve on the Board of Trustee because of potential conflicts of interest However this school was founded on the belief that all stakeholders should be included in decision making entities Excluding teaching staff from this Board would violate this belief The following was put forward for consideration

bull The School Leader and staff members of the Board of Trustees would be removed from the current Board structure to meet the new state regulations The restructured Board of Trustees would continue to be the ultimate entity legally responsible for school governance

bull A new entity called the ldquoEducational Governance Councilrdquo (EGC) would be formed and would include all Board members plus the School Leader and staff representatives This new EGC would act in an advisory capacity to the Board of Trustees in all matters

bull These changes would be reflected in the bylaws

This proposal was discussed by the Board and it was agreed that it should be sent to the State Education Department for their reviewapproval

New Board Composition ndash George DesMarteau The Proposal for Bylaw changes (dated May 5) was discussed at length New state regulations state that employees may not serve on the Board of Trustee because of potential conflicts of interest However this school was founded on the belief that all stakeholders should be included in decision making entities Excluding teaching staff from this Board would violate this belief The following was put forward for consideration

bull The School Leader and staff members of the Board of Trustees would be removed from the current Board structure to meet the new state regulations The restructured Board of Trustees would continue to be the ultimate entity legally responsible for school governance

bull A new entity called the ldquoEducational Governance Councilrdquo (EGC) would be formed and would include all Board members plus the School Leader and staff representatives This new EGC would act in an advisory capacity to the Board of Trustees in all matters

bull These changes would be reflected in the bylaws

This proposal was discussed by the Board and it was agreed that it should be sent to the State Education Department for their reviewapproval

New Board Composition ndash George DesMarteau The Proposal for Bylaw changes (dated May 5) was discussed at length New state regulations state that employees may not serve on the Board of Trustee because of potential conflicts of interest However this school was founded on the belief that all stakeholders should be included in decision making entities Excluding teaching staff from this Board would violate this belief The following was put forward for consideration

bull The School Leader and staff members of the Board of Trustees would be removed from the current Board structure to meet the new state regulations The restructured Board of Trustees would continue to be the ultimate entity legally responsible for school governance

bull A new entity called the ldquoEducational Governance Councilrdquo (EGC) would be formed and would include all Board members plus the School Leader and staff representatives This new EGC would act in an advisory capacity to the Board of Trustees in all matters

New Board Composition ndash George DesMarteau The Proposal for Bylaw changes (dated May 5) was discussed at length New state regulations state that employees may not serve on the Board of Trustee because of potential conflicts of interest However this school was founded on the belief that all stakeholders should be included in decision making entities Excluding teaching staff from this Board would violate this belief The following was put forward for consideration

bull The School Leader and staff members of the Board of Trustees would be removed from the current Board structure to meet the new state regulations The restructured Board of Trustees would continue to be the ultimate entity legally responsible for school governance

bull A new entity called the ldquoEducational Governance Councilrdquo (EGC) would be formed and would include all Board members plus the School Leader and staff representatives This new EGC would act in an advisory capacity to the Board of Trustees in all matters

bull These changes would be reflected in the bylaws

This proposal was discussed by the Board and it was agreed that it should be sent to the State Education Department for their reviewapproval

New Board Composition ndash George DesMarteau The Proposal for Bylaw changes (dated May 5) was discussed at length New state regulations state that employees may not serve on the Board of Trustee because of potential conflicts of interest However this school was founded on the belief that all stakeholders should be included in decision making entities Excluding teaching staff from this Board would violate this belief The following was put forward for consideration

bull The School Leader and staff members of the Board of Trustees would be removed from the current Board structure to meet the new state regulations The restructured Board of Trustees would continue to be the ultimate entity legally responsible for school governance

bull A new entity called the ldquoEducational Governance Councilrdquo (EGC) would be formed and would include all Board members plus the School Leader and staff representatives This new EGC would act in an advisory capacity to the Board of Trustees in all matters

bull These changes would be reflected in the bylaws

This proposal was discussed by the Board and it was agreed that it should be sent to the State Education Department for their reviewapproval

New Board Composition ndash George DesMarteau The Proposal for Bylaw changes (dated May 5) was discussed at length New state regulations state that employees may not serve on the Board of Trustee because of potential conflicts of interest However this school was founded on the belief that all stakeholders should be included in decision making entities Excluding teaching staff from this Board would violate this belief The following was put forward for consideration

bull The School Leader and staff members of the Board of Trustees would be removed from the current Board structure to meet the new state regulations The restructured Board of Trustees would continue to be the ultimate entity legally responsible for school governance

bull A new entity called the ldquoEducational Governance Councilrdquo (EGC) would be formed and would include all Board members plus the School Leader and staff representatives This new EGC would act in an advisory capacity to the Board of Trustees in all matters

bull These changes would be reflected in the bylaws

This proposal was discussed by the Board and it was agreed that it should be sent to the State Education Department for their reviewapproval

New Board Composition ndash George DesMarteau The Proposal for Bylaw changes (dated May 5) was discussed at length New state regulations state that employees may not serve on the Board of Trustee because of potential conflicts of interest However this school was founded on the belief that all stakeholders should be included in decision making entities Excluding teaching staff from this Board would violate this belief The following was put forward for consideration

bull The School Leader and staff members of the Board of Trustees would be removed from the current Board structure to meet the new state regulations The restructured Board of Trustees would continue to be the ultimate entity legally responsible for school governance

bull A new entity called the ldquoEducational Governance Councilrdquo (EGC) would be formed and would include all Board members plus the School Leader and staff representatives This new EGC would act in an advisory capacity to the Board of Trustees in all matters

bull These changes would be reflected in the bylaws

This proposal was discussed by the Board and it was agreed that it should be sent to the State Education Department for their reviewapproval

New Board Composition ndash George DesMarteau The Proposal for Bylaw changes (dated May 5) was discussed at length New state regulations state that employees may not serve on the Board of Trustee because of potential conflicts of interest However this school was founded on the belief that all stakeholders should be included in decision making entities Excluding teaching staff from this Board would violate this belief The following was put forward for consideration

bull The School Leader and staff members of the Board of Trustees would be removed from the current Board structure to meet the new state regulations The restructured Board of Trustees would continue to be the ultimate entity legally responsible for school governance

bull A new entity called the ldquoEducational Governance Councilrdquo (EGC) would be formed and would include all Board members plus the School Leader and staff representatives This new EGC would act in an advisory capacity to the Board of Trustees in all matters

bull These changes would be reflected in the bylaws

This proposal was discussed by the Board and it was agreed that it should be sent to the State Education Department for their reviewapproval

New Board Composition ndash George DesMarteau The Proposal for Bylaw changes (dated May 5) was discussed at length New state regulations state that employees may not serve on the Board of Trustee because of potential conflicts of interest However this school was founded on the belief that all stakeholders should be included in decision making entities Excluding teaching staff from this Board would violate this belief The following was put forward for consideration

bull The School Leader and staff members of the Board of Trustees would be removed from the current Board structure to meet the new state regulations The restructured Board of Trustees would continue to be the ultimate entity legally responsible for school governance

bull A new entity called the ldquoEducational Governance Councilrdquo (EGC) would be formed and would include all Board members plus the School Leader and staff representatives This new EGC would act in an advisory capacity to the Board of Trustees in all matters

bull These changes would be reflected in the bylaws

This proposal was discussed by the Board and it was agreed that it should be sent to the State Education Department for their reviewapproval

New Board Composition ndash George DesMarteau The Proposal for Bylaw changes (dated May 5) was discussed at length New state regulations state that employees may not serve on the Board of Trustee because of potential conflicts of interest However this school was founded on the belief that all stakeholders should be included in decision making entities Excluding teaching staff from this Board would violate this belief The following was put forward for consideration

bull The School Leader and staff members of the Board of Trustees would be removed from the current Board structure to meet the new state regulations The restructured Board of Trustees would continue to be the ultimate entity legally responsible for school governance

bull A new entity called the ldquoEducational Governance Councilrdquo (EGC) would be formed and would include all Board members plus the School Leader and staff representatives This new EGC would act in an advisory capacity to the Board of Trustees in all matters

bull These changes would be reflected in the bylaws

This proposal was discussed by the Board and it was agreed that it should be sent to the State Education Department for their reviewapproval

New Board Composition ndash George DesMarteau The Proposal for Bylaw changes (dated May 5) was discussed at length New state regulations state that employees may not serve on the Board of Trustee because of potential conflicts of interest However this school was founded on the belief that all stakeholders should be included in decision making entities Excluding teaching staff from this Board would violate this belief The following was put forward for consideration

bull The School Leader and staff members of the Board of Trustees would be removed from the current Board structure to meet the new state regulations The restructured Board of Trustees would continue to be the ultimate entity legally responsible for school governance

bull A new entity called the ldquoEducational Governance Councilrdquo (EGC) would be formed and would include all Board members plus the School Leader and staff representatives This new EGC would act in an advisory capacity to the Board of Trustees in all matters

bull These changes would be reflected in the bylaws

This proposal was discussed by the Board and it was agreed that it should be sent to the State Education Department for their reviewapproval
