Topics:
Board Assignments

Minutes

Board Assignments

Dr. McBride said the role needs to be clearly defined and the board members need to be mindful of every day operations.  Mr. Perez said it would be helpful to see the condition of the buildings, including what our students and staff have to deal with.  He noted that the board should see what it feels like in the buildings on very hot and cold days.

Mr. Williams said the board members being out in the buildings would prevent surprises and that it is up to the board to ensure money is being spent the way they say it is.

Dr. McBride stated she doesn't want the board to lose sight of boundaries.  She thinks the role is more ceremonial, making sure board members get to events.

Mr. Williams said the board has lost visibility in buildings and that it's a mistake.  

Mr. Jerry Nadeau suggested folding the visits into monthly building presentations at each board meeting.

District Finances

The board praised the Treasurer's Department, noting no red flags.  Mr. Kisabeth asked Ms. Hedrick if her part-time status has caused any problems.  Ms. Hedrick stated there have been none because so much of the job can be done online.  Mr. Kisabeth expressed his appreciation for her efforts.  

Mr. Williams suggested the district might look at doing fundraisers in the future.
