...Report Meeting of Board Education Sr. Agnes Tram Nguyen EDU645MSEC MS School Policy and Regulations Professor: Dr. James Pedersen Felician College Date March 26th, 2015 This is a report on the regular meeting of the Board of Education which was held on December 11, 2014 at 7 p.m. in the Monsignor João Antão School No. 31, 1014 South Elmora Avenue, Elizabeth, New Jersey. There were many issues discussed during the three-hour session, including a special period of congratulations for some leaders of the Board of Education, who will be retiring next month. However, in this paper, I will only be reporting on matters regarding policies in education in general and of the schools in particular. The meeting discussed the PARCC exam. It addresses the concerns of many educators and parents who do not agree with the speed of the test. They hope primarily that the state Board of Education will delay the implementation of PARCC. Mr. Rodriguez stated that one of the biggest issues is that the test is only in English and will not be available in Spanish. This, he noted, will affect urban school districts where the majority of residents speak Spanish. He said that educators want to present the exam to parents and help the community to understand the new exam in order to get the necessary supports. The project requires a lot of money that has to go into technology, and students need to be able to use computers every day. Another issue was about a comment raised...

...The Board Meeting The Board meets at least five times each year and in addition, a regular update conference call takes place in the months when no formal meeting is scheduled. The agenda for each Board meeting is set by the Chairman in consultation with the Chief Executive and the Company Secretary. Board members receive a monthly report of the company’s activities which incorporates an update on progress against objectives and the management of business risks. The core activities of the Board are carried out in scheduled meetings of the Board and its Committees. Additional ad hoc meetings and conference calls are arranged to consider matters which require decisions outside the scheduled meetings Outside the scheduled meetings of the Board, the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer maintain frequent contact with the other Directors to discuss any issues of concern they may have relating to the Group or their areas of responsibility, and to keep them fully briefed on the Group’s operations. To ensure that the Board sees the Company’s operations overseers, the Board normally holds at least one Board meeting each year at one of the principal overseer’s offices of the Group. This provides Senior Management from across the Group with the opportunity to present to the Board and to meet the Board members informally. It also provides the Board with an opportunity to meet a broad cross-section of staff, to assess senior managers at first hand and to review operational and especially...

The School Board holds meetings every two week that are open to the public.

...I was very excited when my fieldwork supervisor invited me to attend a board meeting with him as my very first fieldwork for this administrative program. He told me that many people are expected to attend this meeting since it was one of the first few meetings of the year. When he and I showed up at this board meeting, I was surprised to see so many administrators. I believe most principals in my district came. I was glad to be able to introduce myself to some of them.

...“Multi-Tasker”, and the “Rambler” are both a frustration and a distraction to the project team. They can demoralize the team by expressing negative opinions; derail productive discussions by preventing other team members from contributing their own ideas, and cause meetings to go off track and reduce efficiency. These team members all have a negative effect on the group dynamic. If Nancy does not address these issues, these people may undermine the success of the project and diminish Nancy’s authority as the project manager. Going forward, Nancy should take a pro-active approach to managing her team. Strategies that she can use for individual personality types include: For the Dominator: * Adopt a nominal group discussion technique. In this discussion model each member is asked to respond in writing to a question about the project. Nancy then opens the discussion by asking each participant to share one - and just one - of their comments/suggestions in turn. Nancy will record the ideas on a flip chart for group discussion once all ideas have been brought forward. The discussion continues around the table multiple times until there are no more new ideas or comments to contribute. * Wrap up the meeting with a “round robin” discussion inviting everyone’s feedback on the discussion, progress made and next steps to be taken. * Meet one on one with the “Dominator” and discuss the problem. Using the observation-feeling-need-request conversation model, Nancy can address...
