Hiring Committee report from WHS TT

Hiring Committee Meeting
6/12/08 7-8 a.m.

Present: Jennifer Lisowski, Gail Levy Pat Lyon, Florence Bracy, Andrew Terranova, Carolynne Kleir, Maryann Rose

1. The group talked about the importance of pooling job candidates from national, state and local nets. We want to post any available jobs on sites like edjoin.net

2. We also talked about the immediate task facing us, which is creating job descriptions for the two administrative positions that are currently open: 1) AP for 9th Grade Academy and 2) APCS who will serve the Media and Communications SLC.

To begin our task, we have distributed the following steps:

A. Pat and Gail will seek a meeting with Principal Barner to inform her of the committee’s plans and encourage her to make us part of the interview process.
B. Jennifer, Andrew and Carolynne will locate existing job descriptions from the district for the two positions. We will also talk with SLC leads and counselors about other expectations they have of a leader in their community.
C. Florence Bracy contributed a list of descriptors for the new job descriptions. She will also continue to gather ideas from parents about what we need in an administrator.

We will communicate via email over the next several days. We are hopeful we’ll have some additional information and plans for the Transition Team when we meet again on Monday.

3. Finally, we talked about what an interview committee for an administrative position should look like. We agreed that there should be two rounds of interviews, where the pool of candidates is narrowed between the first and second. At each interview, we agreed that the following stakeholders (in addition to the principal) should be present and involved in the hiring process: a parent, a community member, an SLC lead teacher and a counselor
