Regular Board Meeting, November 21, 2011 Chair Stroebe presented the draft of the agenda for November 21. The trustee vacancy item was not acted on at the special meeting so is presented again. The board needs to decide what they want from candidates for the trustee position and decide how long to leave the position open. Ms. Moen requested a list of questions asked of trustee candidates in the past. Mr. Hudetz said the board will need to decide if they want a subcommittee to interview candidates or have them come before the entire board. Mr. Hudetz said they would also do a background check of each candidate. Dr. Middleton stated that an extension of the bus contract will be presented. Ms. Aragon requested that information be included for the number of buses, etc. For contract approvals, there will be representatives, either staff or from the proposed vendors, to give information about the proposals. Regarding the item on committees, Ms. Moen and Ms. Wardell would like a retreat to discuss these items. Ms. Aragon asked that it be a “facilitated” retreat. The committee structure and committee suspension will be delayed for a retreat. One committee appointment for Audit Committee will be Wednesday at a special meeting, and one for the meeting on November 21. The item on high school deans was removed. COLT is waiting for an interim superintendent. Ms. Aragon wants this discussed at a retreat. She stated that it was her understanding there would be no changes until a new superintendent is in place. For the report from the Ad Hoc Committee for Strategic Planning, Dr. Middleton stated that there may be some data available from the online survey. For the item on superintendent search, Ms. Wardell would like this discussed at a retreat. This item was changed to scheduling a retreat. Trustee Graves had requested an item be added for the board room renovation. Ms. Wardell wants this discussed at a retreat. Ms. Stroebe stated that she would leave that on the agenda because it was requested by Trustee Graves. For the district financial update, Dr. Middleton stated they would need more time. It was decided that he would provide information at this meeting but have a more detailed presentation at a retreat. Ms. Surwill stated that the ECI contract will need approval. This is just an addendum to the current contract and it needs to be signed by November 30th. There will be a presentation on ECI at a later date when the new grant needs approval. There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned at 12:50 p.m. _________________________________ Teresa Stroebe, Chair _______________________________ Nancy Coe, Recorder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
