Summary
The board interviewed two candidates for a board vacancy: Lauren Campisi, a 20-year classroom teacher and local-union treasurer, and a second candidate identified as Kyle, a school counselor and Eagle Scout. The board will deliberate in executive session and notify the selected candidate by email.
The board conducted public interviews for a vacant board seat, interviewing Lauren Campisi and another candidate identified as Kyle.
Lauren Campisi introduced herself as a teacher with roughly 20 years of classroom experience and as treasurer of her local union. She said she has children attending district schools and described experience organizing large school events and working on literacy committees. "I bring a lot to the table," she said, citing organization, communication and community engagement as strengths and saying she hopes to build more evening events and town-center activities to connect families with schools.
The other candidate (identified in the meeting record as Kyle) described himself as a school counselor, said he grew up in scouting and is an Eagle Scout, and described committee experience (multi-tiered systems of support/MTSS) and a focus on balancing program ambitions with realistic budget constraints. He said improving community trust and parental engagement is critical to lowering chronic absenteeism.
The board reminded candidates the open seat runs through Dec. 31 and will be followed by an unexpired two-year term process. After the interviews the board moved into executive session to deliberate; the record shows no action taken publically immediately afterward and the board said it would follow up with the selected candidate by email to begin appointment steps, including fingerprinting.
