Liz Saul provided a debrief of the presentation to the full board at the May Meeting.  The 2022 Education Committee recommends continuing the Senior Exit Survey as it may result in 1 or 2 changes that will make a positive impact on future classes.  

The Education Committee gathered feedback for the ED Search Committee.

• Leadership skills were seen as more important than some of the other skills such as STEM, Private School
• AMSA is very stable and it's important to gain the trust of the various stakeholders
• Charter School vs Private School, this resulted in mixed opinions that should be considered.  It was thought to be important to understand what it means to be a Charter School,  Additionally, there are very positive aspects of Private Schools specifically around their relationships with Stakeholders which is also a valuable trait.  
• Try to take ego out of the search, the new ED should have AMSA as its top priority and not what it means to their resume.  
• Ensure there is clarity around what AMSA is looking for at the start of the process
• Ensure that any concerns of the Search Committee are not squashed by other members of the committee
• Continue to enhance the experience of the various stakeholders (Parents, students, teachers, admin, etc.)
• The ED should drive the Vision of the School
• Understand the uniqueness of a Charter school budget
• Be an Ambassador for AMSA, and develop relationships within the Core Towns, the Mayor, and the broader community.
•  Proven Track Record raising money
