Work Session Discussion

It is likely that the work session on Tuesday night will be the time and place that a decision will be made on the search. The work session will be in the Black Box at Fairhope High School.

Other interesting topics will be on that agenda, ranging from the request for sales tax relief, a delayed start to the school year, the block schedule for high schools, and I hope, a real plan to deal with pro-ration.

Hope to see many people there.

Meeting with Search Firms

On Monday evening two search firms presented their credentials and the processes they employ to members of the Board of Education. Both firms, Ray and Associates and BWP, made impressive presentations and I was satisfied that either could provide the services we are seeking.

The presenters both emphasized community engagement in the process and outlined methods for involving stakeholders within the system and in the communities.

At the conclusion of the meeting Board President Roberts indicated the selection of one of these firms will be a topic at the next work session, November 17 in Fairhope. A vote is anticipated at the regular board meeting on November 19.
