The Board is now soliciting public comment on the Commissioner's search: CommSearch@doe.mass.edu

Rosa-Lyn Morris here addressing the Board

"delighted to partner with you all"
individual calls with each Board member, other heads of agencies, will be speaking with senior staff
have had conversations with Acting Commissioner
have a working draft of short job description (that would be posted publicly) plus longer job description
documents now being circulated to Board
(the above is the short description)Morton: "what I liked about it...I wondered if everyone saw themselves in the document...my conclusion is that they would"
"this commissioner needs to serve all children and see all children have opportunities for success"
Fernandez likes section on achieving educational equity: more on that lines to emphasis cultural, linguistic, ethnic diversity of state
Sagan asks Board to follow up afterward; looking for Board input by end of week
applications by December 15
committee will see all applications; "there's no pre-screening"
