CEO Brymer advised the Council that an item has been placed on the March 9, 2009,
regular meeting agenda for consideration of adopting the proposed policy.
5. DISCUSS THE PROCESS THAT THE HEAD OF SCHOOL WILL USE FOR
SELECTING THE HEAD OF SECONDARY OR THE HEAD OF PRIMARY
POSITIONS.
HOS Rosevear addressed the Board regarding the item and reviewed the proposed
selection process for head of sections.
Trustee Rollins stated that she felt the committee makeup is heavily weighted with
administrative personnel and would like to see a more balanced committee by adding a
parent member.
HOS Rosevear responded that a parent could be added to the committee; however, he
did not see the necessity.
CEO Brymer stated that the committee needs to understand that their role as a
committee member is purely advisory as the Head of School is ultimately responsible
for the individual’s performance.
CEO Brymer stated that the process is a collaborative input mechanism and is a good
way to determine if a candidate will fit in with the organizational structure and the
community.
The Board agreed that language should be included that emphasizes that the process
focuses on the collaborative nature of discussion and the process.
Trustee Redding suggested that someone of primary responsibility be in the majority
with regard to the composition of the committee.

FOR SUCCESSFULLY TAKING THE SAT TEST.
Mr. Bob Kai, Head of Secondary Education, addressed the Board regarding the item.

one time per week for 11th grade students, and further stated that the IB curriculum, as
taught, is good preparation for the SAT test.
Board discussion ensued regarding offering the ACT test, and preparation for the SAT
and the PSAT.

Town of Westlake
Memo
To: Honorable President and Members of the Board of Trustees
From: Tom Brymer, Town Manager/CEO Westlake Academy
Mark Rosevear, Head of School
Subject: Regular Meeting of April 6, 2009
Date: March 26, 2009
ITEM
Update of staffing needs for the 2009-10 school year.
BACKGROUND
The SMT has been working on staffing needs and scheduling for the 2009-10 school year
and have determined that there is a need for the addition of five new teachers for
Secondary, one additional Special Ed Aide and two additional support staff.
Additional teachers are needed for Secondary. (Please see attachment for explanation)
The increased numbers of students with Special Ed needs coupled with an increase in
number of contact hours required to meet the needs of these students and state and federal
guidelines will require additional Special Ed staff. The needs can be fulfilled by Aides as
opposed to certified teachers. These additional Aides would report to the Head of
Primary and Head of Secondary.
With the opening of the new Arts and Science building, upgraded office and classroom
space in addition to the continued growth of students and programs offered has made the
need to increase the support staff a necessity. One support position will be a secretarial
position with the main duties being a full-time assistant to the Head of School. The
second support position would be the addition of an Accounting Assistant to handle the
daily accounting and cash transactions for the school. This position would increase the
school’s ability to timely process deposits, handle accounts payables and receivables and
be an additional general office support person. These two positions would report to the
Administrative Coordinator.
Attachments
Detailed explanation of where and why new additional teaching positions are needed
Need for more teachers in Secondary 2009-10.
Additional full-time teachers needed (for budgeting purposes):
2 ENGLISH
1 SPANISH
1 SCI ENCE
1 MATHS
1 HUMANITIES
This is six. As the Head of School, Head of Secondary, DP Coordinator, MYP
Coordinator, IT Coordinator are not included their reduced teaching load would help to
make up the load of one teacher., leaving five needed to be hired.
We currently have ten full time teachers and the equivalent of two more with part-time
teachers. One also teachers some Primary classes, while the MYP Coordinator is a full
time teacher.
The current schedule is for five grades, working on twenty classes a week at approx one
hour thirty minutes a class. This does not include homeroom forty-five minutes at the
end of each day which currently involves almost all teachers.
It also includes the fact that in order not to overload teachers further, two classes were
taught together one time a week (e.g. 10A and 10B have two lessons of English
separately and one class together). This is highly unsatisfactory for a number of reasons,
not the least being that there are definitely more than twenty students in a class.
The current workload leaves no time for mentoring new teachers, nor subject or year
group meetings, and little time for staff development.
It should be noted that Primary currently has seventeen teachers for seven grade levels –
an acceptable amount. Secondary has effectively twelve for five grade levels, which
would be six levels next year. In addition to the lesser ratio of teachers to grades, the
amount of time needed for grading, planning and administration is higher in Secondary as
teachers have more than one level of students therefore require different lesson plans
while the amount of marking is higher, especially for Diploma teachers.
7. FUTURE AGENDA ITEMS: Any Board member may request at a workshop
and / or Board meeting, under “Future Agenda Item Requests”, an agenda item
for a future Board meeting. The Board member making the request will contact
the Town Manager with the requested item and the Town Manager will list it on
the agenda. At the meeting, the requesting Board member will explain the item,
the need for Board discussion of the item, the item’s relationship to the Board’s
strategic priorities, and the amount of estimated staff time necessary to prepare for
Board discussion. If the requesting Board member receives a second, the Town
Manager will place the item on the Board agenda calendar allowing for adequate
time for staff preparation on the agenda item.
- None.
