May 18 th Board meeting. We need your input prior to that time. The FINAL date for<br />

At the April 8 th Board meeting, the Board agreed on the need to find an Interim<br />
Executive Director. This position will act as a temporary bridge between Amy Held,<br />
who is departing June 30 th , and the new management leader. The Board tasked Amy<br />
Held, Greg Wood, Marcia Haskin and Jennifer Eustice, to work as a team to find an<br />
Interim Executive Director. We will hear their results at the May 18 th Board meeting.<br />
The UCLA <strong>School</strong> Management Program will hold a special meeting with the Board<br />
on May 11 th to describe their progress working with <strong>Pali</strong> stakeholders to define future<br />
leadership and organizational structure.<br />
Many exciting changes are happening at <strong>Pali</strong>. Because we are a fiscally independant<br />
charter school, all stakeholders are called upon to be part of the changes, rather than<br />
being told what to do by a "downtown" higher bureaucracy. I encourage you to get<br />
involved. We can't be a charter school without your help. Please come to Board<br />
meetings and other Committee meetings to stay informed. Email me with any<br />
questions, comments or to provide input into the policies. I appreciate hearing from<br />
everyone.<br />
