Discussion Items:

I.) Board Self-Assessment Survey:

Tom Gehl presented. What ensued was a lengthy and wide-ranging discussion based on the results of the Board self-assessment survey that had been completed prior to this meeting. He presented summaries of the results, which indicated a board very much aligned on all major topics and issues.

Included in this discussion was a consensus to continue our evolution towards more of a governance model, which given the challenges of our first year of operation, was not always

possible. Also – a discussion of what we are looking for in our next Board member, with an emphasis on someone with experience and/or expertise in fund raising.

II.) Head Principal Topics:

Margaret Daigneau presented the following information:

• An update on hiring for the 2022-23 School Year
• Preparations for the coming year
• The possibility of delaying the start of school – a topic that would require discussion and approval in a scheduled Board meeting.
• She reported on her visit to Hillsdale, along with that of several staff members.

III.) Adjournment:

A motion by Brian Hastings to adjourn – motion passed.

Meeting was adjourned at 5:20 PM.
