XVI. Comments
A.
Board Comments
The Board thanked staff and fellow Board Members for the work they are doing. Tanya said it was a privilege for her and Bill to sit in on different group interviews, and the evaluation process. It was a great opportunity for them to take a look at what is going on at CPCS, saying this is a fantastic organization with dedicated people. The Board also enjoyed Shannon's reports, and listening to the students and teachers presentations. They said to keep up the good work, and said it was nice to be back in-person again. Thank you!
B.
CEO/Superintendent Comments
Christine Feher, CEO said it has been fun to be in-person again. This venue is a good connecting place for LA County. She plans to use this location for meetings during the rest of this school year, and next school year. The 2023-24 Board Meeting Calendar was approved this evening, but she wanted to note that the retreat is listed as a TBD. CPCS is still working on the availability of all the Board Members and planning to meet in November or December for the retreat.
She is proud of the work that the staff is doing, saying CPCS is heading into a really busy season. Progress reports are coming out, conferences, spring break, the lottery for next years' enrollment, saying the amount of things happening is tremendous at this time. CPCS is also preparing for next school year and will be bringing their plans for employment offers in May. Thank you!
