November 10, 2026

The October general meeting was held on November 10, 2026.

All items passed unanimously.

Agenda Item 6: Effective Governance

This meeting, we reviewed the second interim goal for the early literacy goal.  After the meeting, Amy and I worked on some visualizations for next time to try to improve the readability of the data.

We also approved the updated text of the decision-making guardrail.  It's almost a binary measure, so all I'm concerned with is that the superintendent creates a procedure for making big decisions that affect our students, and she's already working on it.

Agenda Item 9: Board Member Reports

There is a new Federal Tax Credit Scholarship Program, which is basically just a backdoor version of vouchers, which is just a way to funnel public money to private schools.  This board opposes the program.  Because the program requires a state-level opt-in action, we directed the president to draft a letter to send to Governor Meyer expressing our strong opposition to such a program.
