The current Discovery Charter School board has five members, with the majority of the members not associated with the school. (E.g., community). I, the undersigned, strongly believe the current Discovery Charter School board composition needs to be changed to improve governance best practices, build momentum, ensure legally of process, and engage the DCS parent population. The Discovery Charter School board needs representation from parents and staff!
During the July 2017 Regular School board meeting, I ask the Discovery Charter School board to:
1.Pass motion #1: Increase the DCS Board of Directors from five (5) to seven (7), with the two (2) additional seats designated for Parents and/or Teachers. (Note: This was a motion made and passed during the 10/28/2016 regular board meeting but never acted upon.)
2. Pass motion #2: Deviate from school board policy 2.1 Board Elections Process (adopted 3/16/216) for the seating of these two (2) seats and follow this process:
oImmediately assign one existing board member and one existing parent to co-lead and oversee this process.
oApprove immediate release and notification that self-nomination statements may be submitted to the above two individuals between the July board meeting and one-week following.
oThe board member/parent have one week to compile and publish the candidate list and nomination forms to discoverymn.org.
oApprove immediate notice of a “Special Board Meeting” for Thursday, August 17 when voting will occur. Must be present to vote. Nominees need not be present. Agenda:
§Distribute nominee ballot.
§Collect completed ballots.
§Count ballots.
§Identify top two winners.
oThe two new board members seated at the beginning of the August “Regular” board meeting.
Respectfully signed.

The increase in support has provided the leverage required to escalate this matter with the board chair. I am currently finalizing a formal letter requesting a specific agenda item for the next board meeting to address the expansion of our governance structure.

Its ridiculous that the people actually in the classrooms have zero say. They know whats really going on day to day better than anyone else! Time to stop ignoring us.
The board needs to involve and welcome parents' comments and involvement! The school's future depends on the parents and students continued trust and involvement with the board! The board needs to welcome parent involvement as healthy activity overall and openly communicate with parents rather than seeing parents as a threat to the existence of the board and ultimately school for that matter. The board cannot run the school like a dictatorship or else the school will fail!
The board needs to be held accountable. This will only happen if parents and teachers are a part of it and able to contribute to the decisions that are made.
Not only do we need this "local" representation, we need more board members to meet the needs of our new, growing school!
