Corrected Excerpt from February 2017 Minutes.pdf
Background: At its regular meeting on March 30, 2017, the Board approved the minutes of its regular meeting of February 23, 2017. In the draft of those minutes as provided to the Board, in regard to Item Four of the report of the Committee on Student Achievement and School Innovation, Action on a Recommendation for Renewal of the Non-instrumentality Charter School Contract with Carmen High School of Science and Technology South Campuses, it was erroneously recorded that the Board had approved a motion by then Director Tatiana Joseph to:

1. approve the recommendation to renew a five-year non-instrumentality charter school contract with Carmen High School of Science and Technology; and

2. authorize the Superintendent’s designee, in consultation with the Office of the City Attorney, the Office of Board Governance, and representatives from Carmen High School of Science and Technology to negotiate and draft a renewed charter school contract to begin with the 2017-2018 school year and to end with the last regularly scheduled day of the 2022-2023 school year. All proposed contracts for MPS charter schools shall be brought to the Board for final approval and execution.

In fact, the motion by then Director Joseph, which the Board approved, was “to renew the non-instrumentality charter school contract with Carmen High School of Science and Technology South Campuses and that, when the contract is brought to the Board for consideration, a provision to provide separate school codes for each of the Carmen campuses be added to the recommendation.”

At this time, the Board Clerk/Director, Office of Board Governance, is requesting that the Board approve a correction to the previously approved minutes of its regular meeting of February 23, 2017, to reflect its adoption of the motion actually made by then Director Joseph.

The excerpt from the minutes of February 2017, showing both the incorrect motion and the requested correction, is attached for the Board's reference. The incorrect motion is indicated by struck-through text, while the correct motion is underlined.
Fiscal Impact Statement: None.
Implementation and Assessment Plan Upon the Board's approval of this correction, the Office of Board Governance will publish the corrected minutes of February 2017.
Recommendation: That the Board approve the correction to the previously approved minutes of its regular meeting of February 23, 2017, to reflect the Board's adoption of the motion made by then Director Joseph “to renew the non-instrumentality charter school contract with Carmen High School of Science and Technology South Campuses and that, when the contract is brought to the Board for consideration, a provision to provide separate school codes for each of the Carmen campuses be added to the recommendation.”
