Tonight the school board finalized the selection criteria for the community representatives of the superintendent screening committee. In addition to the two parents of currently enrolled students being selected by the four school PTOs, two community representatives will be selected from the pool of applicants via the following process:
- Each board member will individually review all the application letters and select one applicant.
- The selected applicants will be placed in a pool.
- Applicants will then be randomly drawn from the pool until the two community member positions are filled.
Any Oyster River residents interested in serving on the superintendent screening committee as either a parent representative or community representative should write a brief letter to the Oyster River Cooperative School Board detailing their interest, relevant qualifications, and whether they currently have a child enrolled at ORCSD.
Letters should be addressed to:
Oyster River Cooperative SAU #5
Attn: Wendy DiFruscio
36 Coe Drive
Durham, NH 03824
The screening committee will be established at the December 21, 2011 board meeting. The first screening committee meeting is scheduled for January 3, 2012. Community members should be prepared for a significant time commitment during the two weeks following the first meeting. The screening process is expected to be complete and resulting candidate presented to the school board on January 19, 2012.
Please note: I am not speaking for the Board as a whole. The opinion that follows is mine alone.
ReplyDeleteI was very pleasantly surprised at the number and quality of the community members who volunteered. Any one of those people would have been a good choice. Thanks for stepping up, and a most happy holiday season to you all.
