There were 2 Board meetings on this date.
The first one was the Annual Meeting which includes the election of Officers of the Board. Board Member Jackie Goldberg was re-elected as Board President for a second term. It was my honor to be re-elected Board Vice President for a second term as well. I am looking forward to another year serving our schools in this capacity along with Board President Goldberg. You can watch the video here.
At our regular Board meeting (agenda, video) we recognized the retirement of Luis Buendía after 34 years of service to the District as an auditor, a financial manager, a senior financial analyst, a deputy Comptroller and deputy Chief Business Officer. Mr. Buendia has been the most knowledgeable and approachable administrator in the Finance and Budget Division. He was always there to answer any questions the Board members have. And, he was always pleasant, understanding and straightforward with his answers. His experience working at school sites before moving to Beaudry gave him the necessary knowledge of the needs of our schools. Mr. Buendía has been adedicated public servant whom we will all miss. We congratulate him, and we wish him well in his retirement.
The other important important item that I want to highlight was the approval of item 21 – Strengthening Career Technical Education Act (Perkins V) Grant for 2023-24. The grant, in the amount of $8,215,619 is a federal reimbursement grant that will provide for instructional materials benefit these Board District 3 programs.
