Governance
Kathleen Crawford contacted two charter schools' chair persons to discuss their recent experience in searching for a new Executive Directors. Both schools used a search firm in order to recruit leaders for their school. They each used a different search firm but were both satisfied with the decision to use them. Both schools recommended full transparency and use of a cross function search committee as well as selection committee.
The board requested Karen Calvert look into the regulations on Request For Proposals (RFP) in this category.
Kathleen Crawford committed to the board to issue another video update to the school community on the search for a new school leader.
