MODIFIED MEETING PROCEDURES DURING COVID-19 (CORONAVIRUS) PANDEMIC: As per Executive Order N-29-20 from Governor Newsom, Oakland Military Institute’s Board Meetings will move to a virtual/teleconferencing environment using Zoom. The purpose of the Governor’s executive order is to control the spread of Coronavirus (COVID-19) and to reduce and minimize the risk of infection by “limiting attendance at public assemblies, conferences, or other mass events.” The intent is not to limit public participation, but rather to protect public health by following the Governor’s Stay at Home executive order and the Alameda County’s Shelter in Place order.

I. Opening Items

A. Roll Call

B. Call the Meeting to Order

J. Brown called a meeting of the board of directors of Oakland Military Institute, College Preparatory Academy to order on Thursday May 12, 2022 at 3:33 PM.

C. Public Comment

Ms. Maryann Michalowski believes Mr. Marc Mares is an excellent choice to be the new board member. He has an outstanding resume and OMI students have shared great things about him. However it would be ideal to have another woman board member given that 50% of the students and more than 50% of the staff at OMI are female.

Mr. Victor Prado shared that OMI just finished state testing. He suggests that test scores could significantly improve if OMI followed through with discipline protocols such as suspensions or dismissals if needed.
