Pali News - Palisades Charter High School

structure the management team at Pali, the interests, leadership traits and job
descriptions for upper management are more alike than they are different among the
school community. We will schedule another meeting during which a definitive
discussion and decision-building outcome can ensue around the information that has
been amalgamated to date from all stakeholders. The UCLA team will meet with the
Board of Directors on May 11, 2010. I will take the results of our work, thus far, to the
Board on May 18.
Amy, Greg, Jennifer and I are meeting to initiate a selection process for an Interim
Executive Director for the 2010-11 school year. This is a temporary position which is
needed to ensure a smooth transition in the fall semester, given the challenges that
will need implementation through the summer and into September.
I must end by thanking the entire faculty, staff, administrative team, Board and
parents for your continued dedication, support and amazing resilience this past
semester.
Always,
Marcia
LETTER FROM THE BOARD CHAIR
Dear Stakeholders,
This is an update on the PCHS Board of Directors. We have been discussing the
adoption of PCHS governance policies. The proposed policies are posted at
www.palihigh.org. Click on "Governance," and then click on "Board of Trustees," and
then click on "Policies Under Consideration."
The policies under consideration were adapted directly from Policy Governance, as
described by John and Miriam Carver. These policies were proposed at the April 8 th
Board meeting. At the April 20 th Board meeting, at the request of parents, the Board
agreed that the Carver model of Policy Governance and its underlying principles are
acceptable as the basis for the PCHS governance policies.
We have not formally adopted the policies because we need your input. Email me at
kperkins@palihigh.org, and/or attend the presentation about Policy Governance on
Thursday, May 13th, at 6:30 pm, in the Library. The Governance Process Policies can
be found by clicking here or by going to "palihigh.org/Governance/Board of
Trustees/Policies Under Consideration".
Important dates: The Board will be discussing the adoption of these policies at the
