	My favorite discussion was…….. Because…..
	Trail Tutors - confident and model for Challenge Base Learning! Queenie Hall - English Language Arts Common Core - Great presentation and delivery - competent and knowledgeable. Saluda Trail students were prepared and poised. Natalie Rodgers (Northwestern Jr. ROTC)/ Saluda Trail Tutors - shows school success through students. Natalie Rodgers from Northwestern High School - statements about Col. Ahl. Students from Rock Hill High School Business Professionals class. Students presenting and energy winners. So many choices to see/hear our students - our reason for being.
	My suggestions for future board meetings are...
	Reserve Fund Policy Change.  Board members need to save questions until after the presenter has finished their presentation. Before fall semester: 1. would like to have GBEBC - approved groups for staff solicitation provided to teachers 2. safety upgrades and training updates 3. course scheduling for HIgh School continues to be questionable.

My favorite discussion was…….. Because…..
Board Decorum because it will help have more productive meetings. Discussion was cordial and well balanced - hope this will keep the board on task.  Board Decorum - let us know what needs tweeking. Academic progress evaluation. Discussion of transient populations. The tension between our undisputed goals of academic progress verses measuring other goals - parent/community which is important but question as to whether Board priority.
My suggestions for future board retreats are...
Always include some  board development in each retreat. Have everything that will be handed to us as paper sent to us digitally, even if just before meeting. I need a place to report about the SCSEA Board Meeting. We need more time to discuss these topics. I would like for us to work on all the topics in more detail from the meeting. Common Core as it progresses. Budget - we did not mention it today but it is a crucial topic.
