1.

Recommended Action:

President Visser announced that PNWBOCES had notified all the component school districts of a vacancy on their board due to the August resignation of a board member. All nominations must be made by component school districts by resolution and received in writing by the Clerk of PNWBOCES no later than midnight on Tuesday, October 7. Since the next CCSD school board meeting is October 8, we would miss the deadline if someone should consider running to complete the term ending June 30, 2015 and so this special meeting has been called. Upon further discussion and consideration, Jeffrey Mester, already a member of the BOCES advisory committee and actively working on various issues with them, was deemed to be the best candidate.

Warren Messner offered the following resolution,

Alyson Gardner moved to second the motion. The motion passed unanimously.

Mr. Mester accepted the nomination. He expressed the belief that it is better to work together to provide solutions rather than continue to be a source of constant complaint.
