Short, unedited notes from meeting: MACS: Don't take easy way out. It's gonna hurt. Do it right. If org is gonna move forward it's gotta change. MDE is watching, VoA is watching. 1. Decide if u r going to fully embrace being public charter 2.look at fundraising, does their $ have undue impact on organization? 3. Understand diff between role if board and role of director ( ie communication with parents, ) the boards job is to hold staff accountable for fixing schools issues. Define what collaborative decision making means for ssfcs. [i think the MACS guy thinks we are a joke, he's super blunt and negative]. 4. Board needs to make unpopular decisions By laws need serious revamping. 5. MACS does not require or recommend that schools be membership organizations Sent from my iPhone_________________________ To unsubscribe, send a message to "familyschool-request" with a subject of "unsubscribe".
