I hope everyone is staying safe and healthy and managing the stresses of distant learning and daily Zoom meetings. For those of you going to work outside the home, I hope that you have a safe environment to work in.
It’s been a while since we’ve had a membership election for the PSA board. We have had a chaotic year and half and counting. The COVID-19 restriction on gatherings make the way we normally do board elections just about impossible. Since we can’t really get on campus, getting everyone to participate in one place isn’t going to happen.
In the past, elections for the board happened before or after the CoOp board met for their monthly public meeting on campus. Well, we’re not part of the CoOp anymore and the San Diego Unified school board isn’t going to hold a monthly meeting in our school’s cafeteria/auditorium even if the COVID-19 restrictions weren’t in place.
The current board is working out the details of how to hold an election for new board members. All the positions will be open for nominations. Most of the current board plans on running again for the positions they hold now. The only position that’s completely open is President. Our current President, Patricia Bacame has held that post for over 3 years now and she is ready to give someone else a chance.
I just want to say that Patty has been awesome as PSA President and held us together through the craziness and chaos of the last year and half. Without Patty, I don’t know that we would still have a functional PSA. Thank you Patty for your selfless service.
The positions that will be vote on are:
President – no nominees yet
Vice-President – Stefanie Kurtz-Harris
Secretary – Patricia Bacame
Treasurer – James Burk
Member-at-Large – Ariel Jen
Member-at-Large – Rebecca Villa
Member-at-Large – Erica Ruiz
Please consider running for an office (especially President!). The PSA works best when we are involved as parents. Don’t let being President of the PSA scare you from running. We work amazingly well as a team and support each other completely.
Once we have details on how we are going to conduct the election and some additional nominees, look for an email on how to vote.
