Agenda for the Regular Meeting of the Board of Directors

Live Oak Charter School Multi-purpose room

September 10, 2015

Mission & Program

To ensure the humanity and potential of its students through an education resonant with their unfolding awareness and

capacities, and supportive of the full and integrated development of body, heart, and mind. LOCS provides a K-8

program inspired by Waldorf education to children and families of Petaluma and surrounding communities. Waldorf

inspired education is a developmental approach to learning that cultivates the innate capacities of each child through

age appropriate curriculum. Live Oak educates the whole child – head, heart, and hands, through an education that

integrates each child’s creative, intellectual, emotional, physical and social domains. Live Oak offers an

interdisciplinary liberal arts program where art, music, and movement are integrated with core academic instruction.

Exploration of the natural world, human culture, language and mathematics enlivens curiosity which is the foundation

of intellectual growth, conceptual flexibility, empathy and sense of connectedness.

LIVE OAK CHARTER SCHOOL

1 Executive Director Report

September 10, 2015

Enrollment & Attendance

Enrollment is currently 288 with a couple of enrollments pending.

Facilities

Fences were completed in the first week of school and the gates will arrive soon. Additional

chairs were purchased for select classrooms. We are awaiting door installation at the Middle

School campus and considering a change in placement of the chicken coop. There was a

concern raised around the new carpet in the 2

nd

grade classroom. The carpet was cleaned

professionally. Air sampling was conducted after the carpet cleaning and levels were well

within interior air quality requirements. A report is forthcoming from the sampling agency.

Special Projects

Computer roll out is now complete. The implementation required a server set up for hosting

configuration profiles for the computers. This was a new project for me and though lengthy,

was interesting. We are still awaiting document cameras as they were backordered, we expect

to have them in early October.

AESOP is now up and running and so far is working well. We are however in desperate need

of more subs. There is a general shortage county wide. We will be integrating the PCS sub list

in the coming weeks to help us gain access to a wider pool of candidates (fully acknowledging

the complexities this adds).

Ranch 7 received feedback on their initial visuals and is working on a second round.

Curriculum

Second Steps and Cyberwise are two new curricular programs that are in their fledgling stages

this year. Second Steps was piloted last year by Julie Meierding and this pilot is now expanding

to grades 1-5. We purchased the Cyberwise site license for access to the grades 6-8 curriculum

and the parent portal for parent education. We will be rolling this resource out to parents

shortly.

Human Resources

We have completed our hires for 2015-2016. Our Spanish teacher is Ms. Rebekah Cantor who

comes to us with many years of experience teaching Spanish in the private school environment.

Our Choir teacher, Mrs. Rachel Steiner, also brings years of experience as a classroom and

private voice teacher. Mrs. Steiner is also a parent at live Oak, with children in grades

Finance

Due to lower than anticipated enrollment, the finance committee discussed potential options for

trimming the budget during 1

st

interim. Significant cuts do not appear necessary, however,

supply and contract budgets will need to be comprehensively pared to reduce expenses

commiserate to lost revenue. We will revise revenue projections at the 1

st

interim.

The Unaudited Actuals will be discussed in detail during the agenda item later.

March 22, 2015

Dear Colleagues,

We are excited to share news of increasing collaboration between the Alliance for Public

Waldorf Education

1

(the Alliance) and the Association of Waldorf Schools of North America

2

(AWSNA). Together we are forging a new relationship based on our common foundation and

perspective on what is best for children. Today, a license for the Alliance use of the term Public

Waldorf was signed, as was a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) that affirms and articulates

some of the many ways the two organizations and our respective members can collaborate.

The license empowers the Alliance to use the mark “Public Waldorf

SM”

_{with acknowledgement}

that it is a service mark owned by the Association of Waldorf Schools of North America and

used pursuant to a license. Some of the details of the agreements include:

1)

Describing Public Waldorf Education in a document entitled Exhibit A, which was mutually

agreed upon by AWSNA and the Alliance. Exhibit A is based upon the Core Principles

articulated by the Pedagogical Council Section of North America

3

. Exhibit A will be

available soon on the Alliance website, and will be reviewed and updated periodically to

ensure it represents the continuing development of Public Waldorf Education.

2)

Authorizing use of Public Waldorf by the Alliance. Alliance member schools may indicate

they are members of the Alliance for Public Waldorf Education and they may refer

individuals to the Alliance website and materials for explanations of Public Waldorf. While

the other service mark guidelines still apply to Alliance members, the Memorandum of

Understanding addresses a timeline to permit sublicensing by the Alliance to Alliance

member schools.

3)

The term of the license is “in perpetuity”, which means that it remains valid as long as the

conditions of the license are upheld, unless there is a mutually agreed upon decision to end it.

The Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) (see attachment) has three main categories that

highlight how the two organizations seek to work together. These include strengthening the

integrity of anthroposophically inspired education, sharing resources, and cultivating collegial

relationships. There are specific agreements outlined that are important to various entities, so we

thoughtfully request that the MoU be read carefully by all. AWSNA and the Alliance agree that

periodic review of this collaboration will be beneficial, and help our relationship thrive.

Waldorf educators, whether they work in independent or in public schools, hold Rudolf Steiner's

goal for education to be eloquently expressed in this quote: "

Our highest endeavor must be to

develop free human beings who are able of themselves to impart purpose and meaning to their

lives.

"

1

_{Membership consists of U.S. public charter and district schools}

2

_{Membership consists of U.S., Canadian, and Mexican independent schools}

3

_{Both AWSNA and the Alliance embrace these Core Principles, which provide a lens for each}

(21)

In all of Waldorf Education lives the hope of providing new ideas for cultural and educational

renewal in our communities. It is with tremendous excitement and hope that we look towards a

future of working collaboratively in service to the children of North America.

Respectfully and with gratitude,

Association of Waldorf Schools of North America (AWSNA)

And Alliance for Public Waldorf Education (Alliance)

Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), 2015

AWSNA and the Alliance share an interest in furthering anthroposophically inspired education in the

United States. The purpose of this MoU is to highlight places of agreement and collaboration.

AWSNA and the Alliance have separate but related missions – to nurture and support schools inspired

by Waldorf Education as they manifest in the world.

This document is intended to provide a clear outline of the ways AWSNA and the Alliance agree to

work together. It is designed to note the agreed-upon collaboration between them, an outline of joint

activities, and notes of where further collaboration might be possible to pursue. The document will serve

as the basis for an ongoing conversation between the leadership of AWSNA and the Alliance that can

facilitate the positive collaboration between the organizations. This document serves as a supplement to

the signed license between the two organizations, which outlines agreed upon usage of the mark Public

Waldorf.

There is agreement that regular review of this document in light of each organization’s strategic and

operating plans is advisable.

Both organizations will share the specifics of this Memorandum of Understanding with their member

schools with the expectations that their members will embrace and actively uphold the agreements.

1. Strengthening the Integrity of Anthroposophically Inspired Education

a.

Currently, there is a formal license agreement between AWSNA and the Alliance. This

agreement empowers the Alliance to use the mark ‘Public Waldorf

SM

’

with

acknowledgement in all printed or electronic medium that “Public Waldorf

SM

is a service

mark owned by the Association of Waldorf Schools of North America and is used

pursuant to a license”. Procedures for this are delineated in the license agreement

between AWSNA and the Alliance. Periodic review of this collaboration is beneficial.

b.

Both organizations agree to work towards sub-licensing once an Alliance path to

membership is in place and sustainable organizationally. The intention is to allow

sub-licensing once there is a process/mechanism in place to support and ensure the

development of healthy Public Waldorf schools. Based on the current Alliance

membership roll-out (14-15 pilot, 15-16 roll-out) we intend to have a sub-license

agreement in 16-17. In the meantime, the current mark guidelines for AWSNA

non-members still apply to Alliance member schools, with the exception that Alliance

member schools may indicate that they are members of the Alliance for Public Waldorf

®
