3. Call to the Public
This is the time for the public to comment on issues within the Governing Boards jurisdiction. Speakers will be given one minute to share their comments. State statute prohibits the Governing Board from discussing an item that is not on the agenda and Governing Board members are not permitted to discuss or take legal action on matters raised during the call to the public, unless such matters are properly noticed for discussion and legal action. At the conclusion of each public comment, Arizona law only allows the Governing Board to respond to criticism, request that staff review a matter or request that a matter be added to a future agenda. The Public is discouraged from using this portion of the Agenda to make complaints against school personnel or persons connected with the Schools. Rather, the public is encouraged to use the Schools’ internal procedures for this purpose.
4. Financials
The Principal or member of Administrative Staff may give a regular review of the school’s dashboard, annual and year-to-date budgets, balance sheet, disbursements, and items related to internal controls. This should be done several times per year (typically after unaudited quarterly financials are processed) but is not required for every meeting.
5. Executive Report
The Principal or member of Administrative Staff may give a general report of school operations for the purpose of informing. However, pursuant to ARS 38-431.02(K) the Board may not propose, discuss, deliberate or take legal action on any matter in the summary unless the specific matter is properly noticed for legal action.
6. New Business
A. Voting to adopt previous meeting’s minutes.
B. Voting and discussion over proposed budget for Financial Year 2024.
The executive director, presiding officer, or a member of the Board may present a brief summary of current events. However, pursuant to ARS 38-431.02(K) the Board may not propose, discuss, deliberate or take legal action on any matter in the summary unless the specific matter is properly noticed for legal action.
7. Future Meeting Dates and Items for Future Agendas
The meeting will be held virtually using the same logon credentials as this meeting. The posting should be on our website.
8. Adjournment
