City narrows applicants for open board seat; district will wait for full board before launching five-year strategic plan process
Summary
Board members reported that the city interviewed seven applicants for the vacant board seat and expects to narrow the field to two at the Jan. 27 city meeting; the district will wait to begin a five-year strategic-plan process until the board vacancy is filled and board members have reviewed a draft process sent by staff.
Board members updated colleagues on the process to fill an open Germantown Board of Education seat at the Jan. 14 work session.
Board member Manuel attended most of the city’s interviews; city officials interviewed seven applicants and expect to narrow the list to two candidates for a Jan. 27 decision, a board member said. The district said it will know the appointed 5th board member after the city’s January 27 meeting.
District staff member Miss Drewlinger circulated a draft plan and timeline for the district’s next five-year strategic plan. Board members said the district will wait to schedule strategic-plan meetings until the board has a full complement of members; they were asked to review the draft and provide feedback so dates can be scheduled.
Why it matters: board composition affects policy votes and planning; completing a strategic plan with a full board ensures all members participate in long-range goal-setting.
What’s next: the city is expected to narrow applicants on Jan. 27; the district will proceed with the strategic-plan process after the board vacancy is filled and members provide feedback on the draft timeline.
