Dear Group Members, Thursday night the Board of Education had its annual "Organization Meeting", which takes care of typical administrative chores mandated by law such as re-establishing board policies, appointing bank depositories, etc. Prior to that, the new board members (Barbara Lesinski and Tom Pivinski) and returning board members (Garrett Giberson, Mrs Sanders and myself) took our oath of office and were seated. The Board voted to table the immediate re-hiring of the present law firm to give the board members time to consider their proposed contract and perhaps other offers by different law firms. Robert DiSanto and John Figueiredo were voted President and VP respectively. There will be a special BOE meeting to take care of pressing business on Thursday, May 3rd at 8 PM. The reason for the rather late start is that the meeting will be preceded by the QSAC community forum from 6 to 8 PM. The meetings will take place at the Bradley Elementary school on 3rd Ave. I'm not sure what the acronym "QSAC" stands for—something like "Quality Standards Assurance Committee", but it is a new State mandate for all school districts where a team of folks from the State come in and interview all the Board members, administrators, representatives from the staff, and then they walk through the schools and observe what is going on. They then have a public forum to elicit input from the community. There is a report that they write, which should be very interesting! Everyone is invited, of course. The Board also voted to have their regular monthly board meeting on the 4th (not necessarily the last) Wednesday of each month. If you have any questions, please e-mail me. Thanks! Frank D'Alessandro
