Board appoints Mandy Friedenberg as parent co‑facilitator of advisory board

The board voted to appoint Mandy Friedenberg as the new parent co‑facilitator of the district advisory board after an administrative recommendation and motion from a board member.

The chair called for the motion to approve “Mandy Friedenberg as the new parent co facilitator on the advisory board as recommended administratively.” The motion was moved by Sarah and seconded by Savannah; the board approved the appointment by voice vote.

A committee member described Friedenberg’s background to the board: “She's really committed. She's knowledgeable,” the committee member said, adding that Friedenberg has attended many meetings and that the appointment provides continuity with previous co‑facilitators. The committee member also referenced a past co‑facilitator, Jennifer Galavino, to underline continuity on the advisory board.

Note on transcript inconsistency: later in the recorded exchange the transcript refers to “Miss Greenberg.” The formal motion and roll-call language identify the appointee as Mandy Friedenberg; the record appears to contain an inconsistent reference and should be cross-checked with the official board minutes for spelling and title confirmation.
