board of directors

Jim - Thank you for the opportunity to participate in the MASSP Board of Directors Mtg. I found it very meaningful, particularly the connecting beyond the meeting with other board members and our day at the Capitol. It was quite a learning experience for me.

Jim - I really enjoyed my two days in Lansing last week. Even with the many things to discuss on our agenda, I felt that we were able to define some important goals and direction for the association. Additionally, our day at the Capitol was truly a great experience and one that I will always remember. Thank you and your staff for making our board meeting such a valuable experience.

Jim - Wow, I really enjoyed last week, great meetings, the capitol experience was cool!

Below are handouts and printable material for upcoming Board of Directors Meetings and archived information from past meetings.

Time for a pause

I remember an article I wrote at the end of my year as president of our association. It was about those few minutes between the end of one school year and the start of the next. It’s that time when you say good-bye to the students and teachers leaving for their summer break, and that awaiting meeting to discuss next year issues. There is that minute or two, without pressure to “get it done” that you get to reflect on the past year.

Well, this is my pause.

Jim,

I am writing you with mixed feelings to tell you I must resign as the MASSP High School Commission Chairperson and from the MASSP Board of Directors. I've accepted a position as Superintendent of the Laingsburg Community School system effective August 3, 2009.

Mark Palmer
