1. Inaugaration of Mivukoni School Trust.
Stephen Kameti (SK) and Lissa Campbell (LC) briefed everyone on the purpose of the trust and gave examples of the kind of activities other schools. Kyania Nzili (KN) talked us through the legal implications of the trust.
We discussed the importance of having teacher representation on the board and it was agreed to appoint one teacher to the trust. Mrs Kellen Mutuku was asked to become a trustee and agreed. Due to the absence of BOG members Michael Kimwele and Mrs Nzavi, it was decided to appoint instead Mrs Mbulu and Mr Mutheki (both BOG members) to the trust. Mr Francis Koma, who has been selected to chair the board was not present. However it was decided that he should be appointed to the trust.
It was decided that Harriet Matsaert, Francis Koma and William Mutheki will be signatories to the trust account. All cheques should be signed by Harriet and one other of the two.
Trustees signed trust forms and bank signatory forms. Stephen Kameti (SK) and KN will obtain other trustee signatures. SK will open trust bank account.
