Organization: Governance by Lisa Stone https://padlet.com/bcslstone1/oq2lmztl3ny091m1 In response to the prompts, as much as possible, please back up claims with evidence. en-us 2022-02-07 20:13:04 UTC 2025-09-27 20:06:14 UTC hello@padlet.com I understand the role of BCS's Board, but there's less visibility regarding if/how the Board engages with the different constituents within the school community. https://padlet.com/bcslstone1/oq2lmztl3ny091m1/wish/2036854394 2022-02-09 01:42:17 UTC https://padlet.com/bcslstone1/oq2lmztl3ny091m1/wish/2036854394 As a new member of the BCS community, I feel like I'm not fully informed regarding the Board's thinking/position on important issues facing the school (e.g., facilities discussion, pending litigation, etc.). https://padlet.com/bcslstone1/oq2lmztl3ny091m1/wish/2036857142 2022-02-09 01:44:16 UTC https://padlet.com/bcslstone1/oq2lmztl3ny091m1/wish/2036857142 After 7 years at BCS, I feel I understand the board's role and stakeholder involvement. It did take awhile before I fully understood the different roles of the BCS board, Foundation and BBC. Even when I joined the BBC a few years ago, I was uncertain of their roles. https://padlet.com/bcslstone1/oq2lmztl3ny091m1/wish/2036857498 The BCS board does a good job of making sure the community knows when meetings are and how parents can join discussions. ]]> 2022-02-09 01:44:32 UTC https://padlet.com/bcslstone1/oq2lmztl3ny091m1/wish/2036857498 I personally don't feel very knowledgable about the board's initiatives and priorities. It could be partly my fault as I don't necessarily seek out this information. https://padlet.com/bcslstone1/oq2lmztl3ny091m1/wish/2036861926 2022-02-09 01:47:34 UTC https://padlet.com/bcslstone1/oq2lmztl3ny091m1/wish/2036861926 Even as a member on the BBC Board, I don't fully understand the extent of "power" the BCS Board has and the full extent of their role https://padlet.com/bcslstone1/oq2lmztl3ny091m1/wish/2036864894 2022-02-09 01:49:45 UTC https://padlet.com/bcslstone1/oq2lmztl3ny091m1/wish/2036864894 https://padlet.com/bcslstone1/oq2lmztl3ny091m1/wish/2036868194 It was great when the BCS Board spoke at events such as the New Family Reception and attended the Walkathon. When the BCS Board Meetings were streamed virtually on Zoom during the height of the pandemic, it was helpful for parents to be able to listen in and be informed without being there in person.]]> 2022-02-09 01:52:20 UTC https://padlet.com/bcslstone1/oq2lmztl3ny091m1/wish/2036868194 https://padlet.com/bcslstone1/oq2lmztl3ny091m1/wish/2036869987 I understand the BCS board role but I probably disagree with how they define their scope of work. Lack of community engagement and listening to parents makes the board less effective than what it is supposed to be. For the past 2 years, I only remember I heard from the board twice which was the announcement of new superintendent and departure of the previous chair of the BCS board. ]]> 2022-02-09 01:53:47 UTC https://padlet.com/bcslstone1/oq2lmztl3ny091m1/wish/2036869987
