Heather Potinger

Asks that the teachers are heard when it comes to this position for Amy. Asks that the community be kept and their ideas accepted and used towards what the next position will be expected of. Asked for a survey/anonymous and wants to make sure the board knows how much was done by the current director and as a teacher she is concerned about the next head.

Teacher from lower EL

Asked for more diversity in the school. Community members that have outside eyes looking in. Not just parents.

Natasha asked for a sub committee to review the staff member with the board. To keep their goals in mind as well.

Greg let each person know that we appreciate the concern for the community. The Alliance gave the idea to complete a sub committee/ committee.

Amy Spoke to the liaison position stating it could be use for a fresh face. Teachers asked who is the liaison. Teachers discussed holding elections for liaison.

Some spoke about amending bylaws to include a couple liaisons one for each grade level. Heather proposed a committee that meets before the board and brings everything to the board. Cindy speaks on behave of different growth and development for more representation with liaison.

Tabled as the representative was not available/present

Kristine presented the current situation of being noncompliant with current state laws as well as our current bylaws. She referred to emails from Kevin with the Alliance and the schools attorney regarding the matter she's brought forth. Kristine has asked that we allow our newly elected board members for the one year positions and the newly appointments in the one year seats to be able to join the board to get the board back into compliance with state and local laws. Greg voiced that according to our bible the bylaws, his concern and opinion about how he feels we should remain as is and let all the new people join in July to keep it all together and uniformed. He wanted to have the new board members have a DSS Background checks. However he was reminded by Amy that is not apart of the process as is and not in the bylaws.
