Thank you for participating in Monday night's New Principal Selection Session and sharing your thoughts about the skills and characteristics that you’d like to see in our next principal. If you did not have the opportunity to participate but would still like to share your thoughts, please contact our OUSD Network Executive Officer, Eric Nelson (Eric.Nelson@ousd.k12.ca.us or 510-879-8663).
The next big step that parents have been asked to participate in is the Interview Day on August 9th. Five (5) parents will participate in a performance-based interview with potential principal candidates. The interview process will involve role playing, interviewing, observing, providing feedback and suggesting the best candidate for the job. The interview panel will consist of OUSD personnel, 5 JM teachers/staff and 5 parents.
We are looking for parents who are willing to be part of this process and who can dedicate a full day (August 9th from 8 am to 3 pm or later) for the interview process as well as time for the preparation meeting (August 6th from 5:30 to 7:30pm). If you are interested and can reserve this time, please contact me by Thursday, July 26th at 5pm (jgmason@pacbell.net). At the request of Eric Nelson, the PTA board will then review all volunteers and select five people who best reflect the entire JM community. Please note that this is a fairly significant time commitment and it will be in the best interest of the JM community to ensure we select parents who can participate fully.
If you have any questions, comments or ideas, please feel free to contact us. Again, thank you all so much for your hard work and continued support through this process.
Regards,
Glynis Mason
