ALCOTT NEWS & ANNOUNCEMENTS

OPEN FALL PTG MEETING: NOVEMBER 19th at 9.30am, VOTING IN BY-LAW CHANGES AND NEW BOARD POSITIONS: Please join us on Zoom for our open fall meeting, where we will require votes to update our by-laws and formally vote in our new Board to comply with the by-law reorganization. The Zoom link for the PTG meeting is listed below. The amendment must be passed by vote with the presence of a quorum, so if you only attend one meeting this year, please help us by making THIS ONE! The purpose of the by-law changes are first, to make sure we are complying with our State non-profit legal requirements but moreover, to create a more open and organized PTG that will enable people to get involved in a more streamlined and efficient way. We are including, for the first time, Alcott Administration on the Board, a Faculty Representative, a President, Vice President, Treasurer and Clerk, as well as enumerated voting Board Chair positions that represent the larger work we do: Communications, Enrichment, Events, Executive, Fundraising, METCO and School Community Chairs. While we also hope to have monthly Board meetings, we are prioritizing community involvement by having three public and open meetings annually in the Fall, Winter and Spring, some day and some evening, where important mission issues are set forth, voting takes place, and all voices are included. Thanks to the addition of video conferencing in all of our lives, our goal will be to make these three open meeting accessible by Zoom, Google Hangout, or like video conferencing going forward so that all parents, Concord and Boston, working from home or away from home, can attend if they chose. The rest of the provisions are legal updates for 501(c)(3)s, and for our insurance. Prior to the vote, please go to our website to view the proposed changes HERE and the formalized 2020-2021 slate, HERE. The 2021-2022 slate will be voted on in Spring 2021, and at all Spring open meetings going forward. Have questions prior to the meeting? Please contact krissytyson@gmail.com, regarding by-law changes, and hsk617@gmail.com, regarding questions about the slate.
