statement was read

Lisa discussed her plan for continuing ERA's culture and having an interim principal put in place with Lisa to continue as executive director remotely (HR, payroll, and other items as needed). The position has been posted and we already have several applicants for the role.

Jeremy and Lindsey expressed their support for the plan as expressed. 

Dave reflected on the bylaws and key decisions to be made before deciding on a long-term plan.

It was noted that many are here and public comment will be available during the 1/16 meeting and the board looks forward to hearing feedback.

Sabrina expressed concern about the time difference if it took a long time to hire an executive director.

Kristi expressed the need to listen to those with the knowledge and experience while making these decisions. It was also noted that this process needs to be done in a positive. 

Kristin shared that she feels honored that Lisa feels she is ready to take this on. 

Pamela is glad to hear that Kristin is willing to take this interim role. 

Sarah added that this plan can be revisited at any time if any parties feel like they need more support or changes. 

Dave asked how we want the parent community to reach out for items they reached out to Lisa for in the past. A clarifying email will go out to all families to address this.
