Discussion and Action to Recommend to the AMPS Board New Board members
In our January Board Meeting it was stated that we would be adding more Board members, and a Nominating Committee was formed. The members of this Nominating Committee is Edgar Quiroz, Elisa Gallegos, and Monica Moncada. Elisa and Monica interviewed Jorge Lerma, who is a lifelong educator born and raised in Oakland, his most latest role being the OUSD Board Member. Both Elisa and Monica feel that his ties to the community and the Board Experience will be a great asset in expanding our board. Monica adds that Jorge's passion for the children in the community reigned through, and it was enjoyable to talk to him. Edgar states that he has known Mr. Lerma for about 35 years, knowing him as the principal of his children's learning center. He feels he would be a great asset with his history and experience in the Oakland Unified School District. Adrienne Barnes, Acting Chief Executive Officer adds that, in accordance to our bylaws, she met with Jorge Lerma and she agrees that he would be a great asset.
