Business Conducted

The Search Committee reported that, after a thorough evaluation process, it unanimously agreed to recommend Simon Tyler for the position of Executive Director.  After a brief discussion, the Board voted on the following resolution: 

• to offer Simon Tyler the job of Executive Director for Prairie Creek Community School for the 2011-2012 academic year; and
• to authorize the Board Chair to negotiate a one-year contract with Simon, offering a salary commensurate with his experience and within the parameters of PCCS’s budgetary constraints.

The resolution passed with votes as follows:

 

	Vote
Jeanné Avery	In favor
Tricia Ferrett	In favor
Bonnie Jean Flom	In favor
Cynthia Gilbertson	In favor
David Lefkowitz	In favor
Laura Medwetz	In favor
Dean Paxton	In favor
Michael Viola	In favor

After the vote, Caroline expressed her confidence in Simon and told the Board that she feels very comfortable leaving the school in his hands.  

Bonnie Jean offered to take the lead in preparing a press release to be provided to the Northfield News and selected online news sources.  Caroline and Michael will provide quotes and Cynthia will assist with copy editing.

Finally, the Board discussed whether Cynthia’s term should end at the end of this academic year because she will not have any children attending PCCS next year.  This issue needed to be discussed because the Nominations Committee needed to know how many parents to put on the slate, which will be presented to the Board at the next regular meeting. 

Adjourned:  7:50  p.m.
