coen Posted January 6, 2010 Report Share Posted January 6, 2010 Proceedings of the Ad Hoc Committee on Strategic Planning District No. 2, Yellowstone County High School District No. 2, Yellowstone County Billings, Montana December 10, 2009 The committee meeting was held on Thursday, December 10, 2009 in the Lincoln Center at 8:05 a.m. Trustees Barbara Bryan, Teresa Stroebe and Peter Gesuale; Nancy Hines, Carrie Miller and Jeff Greenfield were in attendance. Trustee Mary Jo Fox arrived at 8:35. Barb Bryan stated that the primary focus of this meeting is to decide what information to present to the Board of Trustees on Monday, December 21. The committee plans to ask the Board for authority to proceed with the plan, working with the Montana School Boards Association, without having to have a Board meeting for every decision. The committee reviewed their charge as presented by Nancy Hines. Revisions were made and will be submitted to the Board. Mr. Gesuale asked that the same language be used as in the document from MTSBA. Barb Bryan will include a list of potential steering committee members. She will be more general in her descriptions instead of naming individuals. Nancy Hines again mentioned that someone from the non-profits be included. Carrie Miller asked if someone from BOOST (Billings Out Of School Time) task force should be included. Nancy Hines will follow up on this with the United Way. Teresa Stroebe asked that someone from Lockwood or the outlying school districts be included. Nancy Hines asked about Leadership Montana representation. Sharon Peterson and Mary Hernandez have expressed interest from that group. Ms. Bryan anticipates about 20 people plus the Board of Trustees as members of the steering committee. Jeff Greenfield questioned if he would be asked to provide names of teacher representatives. A draft schedule will be included as well as the public engagement plan. The background information will be revised to include technology and more comparative data on the district as a whole. Ms. Bryan stated that she would like to give each member of the steering committee a copy of the book, “Failure Is Not an Option.” Nancy Hines will check online for a less expensive option. It was decided to use the brand COMPASS. The Board will be asked to give this committee authority similar to what they gave the Ad Hoc Subcommittee for Superintendent Search. Authority would include: appointment of steering committee members, scheduling, public communication details, developing survey, and meeting times. Nancy Hines will draft a motion and send to Ms. Bryan for approval. The meeting was adjourned at 8:40 a.m. _______________________________ Nancy Coe, Recorder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
