To all Northwest Chinese School (NWCS) members,
With the suggestion from 22 NWCS member parents, the NWCS board has decided to hold a “Special General Membership Meeting” as defined in the NWCS by-law at http://www.nwchinese.org/organization/bylaws.htm, article X, section 2. The purpose of this meeting is to hold an open hearing for all NWCS principal candidates. All valid NWCS member parents and teachers as defined in the NWCS by-law are welcome to attend this meeting.
The NWCS board and Parent Teacher Association (PTA) will jointly host this meeting. During the open hearing, all principal candidates will present their experiences, ideas, agendas, and solutions related to NWCS, as well as possible changes they would like to make if they get the job. There will be a question and answer (Q&A) session following the presentations. After all the hearings, a survey will be conducted among all the attendees. The survey results will be
published and provided to board directors as one resource to help their decision on appointing the new principal.
The NWCS board and PTA strongly encourage all NWCS parents and teachers to attend this meeting and provide your opinion.
The following is the meeting logistics.
Time: 6/9/2007, Saturday, 11:00am to 1:00pm
Place: Lake Washington Technical College (Kirkland campus) cafeteria
Hosts: Mr. Benjing Sun (VP of the Board) and Ms. June Hu (PTA chair) Agenda: 1. Candidate presentation: Every candidate will have 5 minutes to do the presentation. The order of presentation is determined by the alphabetic order of candidate last names.
2. Q & A: After all the presentations, a Q & A session starts. To allow more members to ask question and give every candidate an equal chance to answer questions, below is the format of Q & A session.
a. Each member who has any question will wait in a FCFS queue for his/her turn. Before asking a question, the member should report his/her own name and the NWCS class # of his/her child.
b. Each member can ask only one question each time. Then he/she must go back to the end of line for the next opportunity.
c. A maximum of 3 questions can asked to the same candidate consecutively.
d. Each question time is limited to 1 minute and the answering time is limited to 2 minutes.
3. Attending members fill up the survey form and turn it into a group of PTA volunteers who will count the results. The board will distribute the bios for the candidates before the meeting.
