Consider and Approve the Independent Contract for the Executive Director and Terminate Current Agreement

T. Allison made a motion to Table the approval of the Independent Contact and termination of the current agreement.
C. Jackson seconded the motion.

Beth Bulgeron presented this item and explained the terms of the agreement and provided context for the change.  She explained the benefit for both Mr. Thompson and for TEACH LV and emphasized that TEACH LV would have clear accountability measures per the contract, there was an emphasis on building leadership and sustainability and was a financially viable option for TEACH LV at this time. 

 

Board Member Jackson stated that she was an independent contractor and her contract had additional elements and therefore those elements should be included in Mr. Thompson's contract.  She asked that the placeholders within the contact (address, point of service) be filled in before being approved.  Board members Allison and Jackson said they were not clear on how the compensation was calculated, particularly regarding fringe.  They both expressed a need to see a fringe break down in writing. 

The board VOTED to approve the motion.
