Call the Meeting to Order
J. Cassleman called a meeting of the board of trustees of Pullman Community Montessori to order on Friday Jul 30, 2021 at 6:03 PM.
II. Special Item
A.
Hiring-Transportation-Scheduling
T. Franklin made a motion to Delay the start of school from August 18th to August 25th and give John and Laylah the limited power to complete this process with the Commission.
B. Wolff seconded the motion.
Comparison of change in instructional hours (still above state minimum even without extending by 1 week).
In light of an employee resignation and ongoing planning with our transportation vendor, we will be taking action on a potential change to the first day of school. If we do decide to make a change to the school start date, we will need to let parents know immediately. Essentially, we have 1 of 3 choices:
1) Continue as planned with our current start date
2) Delay school start by a week (must be approved by Commission)
3) Delay school start by a week and add a week at the end of the year
The board VOTED unanimously to approve the motion.
