Board Briefs from July 9, 2019 Business Meeting

This document includes highlights of information received by the Ladue Schools Board of Education at the July 9, 2019 Business Meeting. This is an unofficial record. Official minutes of each Board meeting are posted on the district website and are available for viewing at the Administrative Center after the Board approves them, typically two weeks after the meeting.


INFORMATION ITEMS 

2019-20 Board of Education Goals. Board of Education President Carolyn Jaeger led the Board in continued discussion regarding Board of Education goal setting for the 2019-20 school year. Board Members have all provided input which President Jaeger is compiling and refining. These will be provided to the Board for further review, discussion and possible approval at the August 26, 2019 Board of Education meeting. These goals are used for developing specific goals for the Superintendent of Schools and assist in providing direction for the district as a whole.

Board and New Superintendent Training. The Board discussed how to utilize the Missouri School Board Association (MSBA), as well as other entities, for additional training in the coming year. It was agreed that this training is very worthwhile and that discussions should begin on which areas of focus would be most valuable to the Board.

July 22 Board Business Meeting. The Board discussed the need for a July 22, 2019 Board of Education meeting, as originally scheduled. It was agreed that this meeting was not necessary and would be canceled.
