Marcia, Greg, Jennifer and I are screening all<br />
candidates to bring forward finalist(s) to the Board<br />
for hiring as soon as possible.<br />
The budget process continues and the Budget<br />
Committee and negotiating teams have worked on<br />
parallel tracks to ensure the shortfall is addressed for<br />
next year. I want to applaud these two groups as<br />
well as the Educational Programs and Operations,<br />
Facilities and Technology Committees for the many<br />
hours and thought dedicated to ensuring <strong>Pali</strong> is<br />
financially solvent into the future without<br />
undercutting our mission or vision.<br />
Fundraising: The <strong>Pali</strong> Fund has raised $100k this<br />
year and plans are already underway to dramatically<br />
increase fundraising next year. Traveling parents<br />
have pledged approximately $100k toward the cost<br />
of busing next year. June 6 th is the date of the 2nd<br />
Annual <strong>Pali</strong> Spirit & Gilbert Awards event, to be<br />
held this year at the home of Mayor Richard<br />
Riordan. This event will benefit the transportation<br />
fund with proceeds going to support busing for<br />
continuing students. Please come if you can!<br />
Leadership and governance policies: We are<br />
planning to schedule a separate period-by-period<br />
meeting on <strong>Charter</strong> 101, ED v. Principal roles and the<br />
governance policies the Board is currently<br />
considering next week (tentatively Monday 5/10 and<br />
Tuesday 5/11). All staff are invited to these meetings<br />
(classified please coordinate with your supervisor to<br />
figure out which period to attend). This means this<br />
week's May 5 th and 6 th CST period-by-period faculty<br />
in-service meetings will run only a third or so of the<br />
conference period.<br />
I hope all families have a great month.<br />
Sincerely,<br />
Amy Dresser Held
