Governance Committee

of Lisbon/M.S.A.D. No. 75 RPC

 

Minutes

December 5, 2007

 

The Governance Sub-committee of the Lisbon/M.S.A.D. No. 75 Reorganization Planning Committee (RPC) met during the break-out session on Wednesday, December 5, 2007, at Mt. Ararat Middle School in Topsham, Maine.

 

Governance Committee members present were:  Joanne Rogers (Chair); Dan Billings; Tim Lavan; and Charles Smith.  Not present were Robert W. Hill and Gina Mason.

 

Also present was M.S.A.D. No. 75 Superintendent J. Michael Wilhelm.

 

The Sub-committee reviewed the work of the previous meetings.  It determined that it had concluded its work on sub-committee structures and will recommend those to the RPC at the December 19th meeting.  With regard to the guidelines for the first meeting of the RPC, the Sub-committee noted that the State Board sets the date for the first meeting, but that we have recommended a date for that meeting in the plan going to referendum. 

 

Superintendent Wilhelm shared model policies for all State-required School Board policies.  These will be presented as recommended policies to the RPC at the next meeting.  The Sub-committee concluded that Board members in the new RPC will be paid $25 per meeting.  Superintendent Wilhelm noted that personnel policies need to be recommended in the Plan, and the Sub-committee culled those from the MSMA model policies.

 

At the next meeting of the RPC the Sub-committee will recommend to the RPC the timeline that Mr. Hill developed and will note the importance of the March 15th public hearing.

 

Respectfully submitted,

 

J. Michael Wilhelm
