Hi R. Hunter,

The new school year is in full swing, making September a great time to focus on building sustainable board operations. Doing so will help you to have more efficient meetings, enabling your board to focus on its priorities and goals, working toward your board’s vision of success.

How to you craft these sustainable processes? There are three keys:

- Build an Institutional memory
- Comply with your state's open meeting law (https://hs-4154929.t.hubspotemail.net/e1t/sc2/MmZ-8ykzqnXW6MQjGs7tXDG2W59qcVl6CqBXKVh-MGb5JsrHMdBzP8N04 )
- Run effective and efficient board/committee meetings (https://hs-4154929.t.hubspotemail.net/e1t/sc2/MmZ-8ykzqnXW6MQjGs7tXDG2W59qcVl6CqBXKVh-MGb5JsrHMdBzP8P04 )

Institutional Memory

Charter organizations are inherently innovative and entrepreneurial; you did, after all, create a school out of thin air! As time passes and students and leaders come and go, how will you maintain your team’s focus on what really matters and stay true to your organization’s mission, character, and core values? The BoardOnTrack platform’s automatic meeting archive system and unlimited document storage is a convenient and safe space for you to begin storing your institutional memory immediately.

OML Compliance

Complying with your state’s open meeting law might feel like an inconvenience, but it’s a reality we deal with as public charter school boards.

There are two keys to complying with open meeting laws:

- Conduct all board business openly and provide the public with as much access as possible to the great work you and your board accomplish on a regular basis.

- Develop a hub on your organization’s website to ensure that your community and the public at large can easily access your meeting minutes and agendas.

BoardOnTrack Suggests: Consider using time at your annual board retreat to train your board members on the obligations of your state’s open meeting law, and retrain and refresh them on it annually.

Effective Board & Committee Meetings

Your meetings are the manifestation of all your great board work. Here are three tips to making your meetings more effective and efficient:

- Build strategically focused agendas by tying items to specific board or committee goals, and set time limits on each item’s discussion--and stick to them.

- Share meeting packets at least a week prior to the meeting to give board members enough time to read the agenda and supporting materials thoroughly and prepare to be engaged in the discussions.

- Schedule all your board and committee meetings for the year and plan enough time for complex questions to be debated at the committee level before presenting strategically framed items to the full board for further direction.

Thank you,

Mike
