Recap of Workshop & Organizational  School Board Meeting – Nov 22, 2011

Florida Statute requires that an annual Organizational Meeting of the Citrus County School Board must take place. This year the meeting was held on Tuesday, November 22, 2011.  The agenda for the meeting includes the election of the Chairperson and Vice Chairperson, approving the day and time for the Regular School Board Business Meeting, and the hiring of the School Board Attorney for the coming year.  At the meeting it was unanimously approved that Board Member, Linda Powers, would serve as Chairperson and that Board Member, Virginia Bryant, would serve as Vice Chairman.  Wes Bradshaw was approved to continue as the school board attorney for the coming year. It was also approved that the Regular School Board Business Meetings will be held on the second Tuesday of each month beginning at 3:00 p.m.

I wish to congratulations Chairperson Linda Powers and Vice Chairperson Virginia Bryant for their appointments and wish for them a smooth running, productive and successful experience during their service.

Before Tuesday’s organizational meeting, the School Board met in another goal setting workshop.  This was a continuation of the October 25^th goal setting workshop.  The meeting was held in the upstairs conference room to provide a more casual setting where we, as a board, could roll up our sleeves and plan.  The workshop was most productive.  Not surprisingly the school board’s main topic of discussion was how to maintain the high level of achievement that our schools and students have demonstrated in the past.  This must be achieved during extremely challenging economic times throughout our country and state.  As a team we shared that each of us, as board members, felt that one of the greatest part of our student’s and district’s success has been from the high quality educators in our schools.  The challenge is, knowing that information and keeping that in focus as we develop and approve next year’s budget.
