II. Board Business

A.

Executive Leader Search

The Board discussed in the Executive Session the need to return to a single Executive Director as soon as practicable and our options to not delay further.  We negotiated with Heidi Berkowitz to take the role of Interim Executive Director until we can hire an Interim Executive Director through the contract with Ray and Associates.

 

The Board confirmed 

  • The reporting structure for the Senior Leadership will not change at this time.  Principals and the Director of Special Education will continue to report to Kathleen Foley.
  • Heidi will return to her role as Chief of Staff when we hire an Interim Executive Director.
  • Heidi should be compensated for taking the role as a single Interim Executive Director in line with the budgeted amount for that position.  The budgeted amount is $190,000 annually. The pay will be prorated for the time she is in the role.
  • Confirmed it is the role of the Trustees (Susie Girard and Matt Yezukevich) on the Governance Committee to execute a contract with Heidi Berkowitz as soon as possible.

 

 

 

Sergio Martin made a motion to appoint Heidi Berkowitz as the sole Interim Executive Director until we hire an Interim Executive Director through the contract with Ray and Associates. Heidi's salary will be $190,000/annually prorated and retroactive to 01SEP2022.
Matthew Yezukevich seconded the motion.
The board VOTED unanimously to approve the motion.
