Forest Hills trustees shuffle committee slots, debate meeting times
Summary
Trustees discussed moving Mallory to finance and assigning Sean and Holly to curriculum while grappling with committee meeting times that conflict with members' schedules. The board agreed to temporary placements and asked members to communicate scheduling conflicts in advance.
Trustees at the Jan. 8 special meeting discussed committee assignments and whether committee meeting days and times should be changed to improve attendance. The president proposed moving Mallory to the finance committee, keeping CJ on finance, and placing Maggie, Holly and Sean on the curriculum committee; trustees debated whether Wednesdays at 3:00 p.m. worked for members with work and parenting commitments.
One trustee raised a procedural point about member availability and scheduling flexibility: "I have a not point of information. I say point of order," the trustee said while asking whether bylaws require individual elections and later discussing committee scheduling options. Members talked through options including alternates, switching individual committee assignments midyear and attempting to work around current posted times until July when the schedule can be reset.
The board settled on a temporary arrangement: CJ, Mallory and Kelly will serve on finance, and Maggie, Holly and Sean will serve on curriculum for the coming weeks, with the understanding members will switch where needed to cover meetings. Trustees asked to be notified in advance when members cannot attend so the board can minimize gaps in committee participation.
