4. FIRST READING ITEM
4.a. Directions for Filling the Unscheduled Vacancy on the LCUSD Governing Board – Interview Guidelines and Procedures, R168-19-20
Speaker:
Sinnette
Rationale:

Background

Mrs. Ellen Multari was elected to the LCUSD Governing Board in November 2011 and reelected in November 2015.  Mrs. Multari moved out of the LCUSD residency boundaries and resigned her Governing Board member seat effective May 31, 2020, resulting in an unscheduled vacancy on the LCUSD Board of Education.  At its May 19, 2020 meeting, the Governing Board determined that it would accept applications, conduct interviews, and subsequently take action to appoint a candidate in order to fill the vacancy.

 

Current Considerations

The LCUSD Governing Board will conduct interviews for its vacant seat on June 16 and 17, 2020 from approximately 1:00 – 4:00 p.m.  There are 10 applications for the position.  The interviews will be conducted via Zoom.  The interviews and the Governing Board’s deliberations will be part of an Open Session meeting, fully accessible to the public.  Each interview will be 30 minutes in length, and will follow the schedule below:

Tuesday, June 16, 2020: 1:10 – 1:40 p.m., 1:45 – 2:15 p.m., 2:20 – 2:50 p.m., 2:55 – 3:25, 3:30 – 4:00 p.m.  Wednesday, June 17, 2020: 1:10 – 1:40 p.m., 1:45 – 2:15 p.m., 2:20 – 2:50 p.m., 2:55 – 3:25 p.m., 3:30 – 4:00 p.m.  Interview appointment times will be assigned via lottery.  Deliberations will follow the final candidate’s interview.  The Governing Board’s vote to appoint the candidate will take place in Open Session subsequent to the deliberations on Wednesday, June 17, 2020.

 

Financial Implication

There are no District financial implications associated with this agenda item.  However, the District incurred significant savings by not calling for an election to fill the vacancy.
 
Recommended Motion:
It is recommended that the Governing Board conduct the interviews for the vacant seat on the LCUSD Governing Board, engage in deliberations following the interviews, and take action via a roll call vote to appoint a candidate to the position. 
Quick Summary / Abstract:
It is recommended that the Governing Board conduct the interviews for the vacant seat on the LCUSD Governing Board, engage in deliberations following the interviews, and take action via a roll call vote to appoint a candidate to the position.
