| CALL TO ORDER | The Mill Valley School District Board of Trustees, acting as the Governing Board of the Mill Valley School District, met in special session on Monday, June 7, 2004 at 7:00 PM at the Mill Valley School District Administrative Office, 411 Avenue, Mill Valley, CA. President Khademi called the meeting to order at 7:03 PM and announced that Mr. Freiberg was absent. |
| COMMUNITY TECH ADVISORY | Mr. Khademi announced that this special
meeting was being held to conduct a group interview with the applicants
for the Community Technology Advisory Commission (CTAC). As there
were 14 applicants, the candidates were invited in two separate groups
to meet with the Board. Mr. Khademi read a statement from
Superintendent Young regarding the purpose of the advisory. The
following candidates were interviewed; Noah Austin, Jacklyne Boyden,
David Gruver, Daniel Guggenheim, Francis Jeffrey, Jerry Labay, Michael
Litchfield, Lisa Monge, Page Murray, Betsey Nelson, Christopher Newell,
Jonathan Schwartz and Hossein Sean Sohaei. Ed Payne was unable to
attend the meeting. The candidates were thanked for their
interest in the commission and, acknowledging that only some would be
appointed to the commission, all were encouraged to remain active in the
school community.
At the conclusion of the interviews, the Board considered the process for selection of members to the CTAC. Based on the outstanding qualifications of the candidates, the Board consensus is to revise its policy regarding the commission and increase the number of members from five to seven. Additionally, the Board discussed the possibility of the technology commission being a Superintendent advisory rather than a Board-appointed advisory, due to the nature of the work the commission is expected to do. As the Board will also consider this matter for policy revision at its June 9th meeting, no action was taken at this time regarding the appointments to the CTAC. The Board will make its recommendations for membership on the commission once the policy is revised on Wednesday, June 9th. |
| ADJOURNMENT | Mr. Khademi announced that the next regular meeting will be Wednesday, June 9, 2004 at 7:00 PM, and adjourned the meeting at 9:50 PM. |
Respectfully submitted, |
