Succession Plan Update
A Committee discussion regarding Director transition/succession plan was requested. Lisa shared the challenges of the 2021-22 school year with COVID and the change in leadership. Teacher morale is low and there are a number of key staff members leaving VCS this year. They suggested that a search for a replacement Enrollment Coordinator begin as soon as possible.

The Committee agreed and requested that Lisa let them know any other ways the Board can support the increased demands of the school year.
