Board Meeting Thursday

Good afternoon,

I am combining two commitments in this notice to you: to remind you of our upcoming October Board meeting tomorrow evening, and to summarize our September meeting.

Tomorrow we will set the measures for the Board goals we developed last month, arranged according to elements of our strategic plan:

1. Secure Charter Renewal
2. Govern the School Efficiently and Effectively.
3. Trustee Training

• Add two new members to the Board of Trustees
• Succession Planning (Leadership)

4. Implement a Strong Financial Plan

• Rebuild working capital
• Create a detailed plan to increase non-tuition income to 10% of the School's revenue

5. Lead the School in embracing the promises of the School's Charter and Mission

• Hire a Managing Director
• Develop plan for community outreach

6. The School's Facilities will enable the accomplishment of the School's Mission.

• Prepare and Submit Charter Amendment Application
• Create detailed project plan regarding the expansion

Also at last month's meeting, Treasurer Dr. John Sullivan delivered his report on last year's financial performance, including that "the school exceeded budget and delivered a surplus". See the full minutes when they become available online.

I'm happy to remind you that your attendance at Board and Committee meetings is welcome; there is a public comment period near the beginning of Board meetings and we all invite you to share your thoughts. Please feel free to email the Board, as well, at board@marbleheadcharter.com

Regards,
Emil Ronchi
Chair, MCCPS Board of Trustees
