From President Posti's Center Court blog:
“The Board is grateful for such a large applicant pool and thankful for the time and energy that each candidate put into the process. The process we used was unprecedented. Rather than making the decision in executive session, which is how vacancies are normally filled and have been filled by us and other districts, we've chosen a very public process.”
The small print reads: “This site is not affiliated with Mt. Lebanon School District and does not reflect the official position of the Mt. Lebanon School Board.” Huh?
The agenda for January 10, 2011 has the following items listed:
IV. New Business for Board Consideration and Action
A. Appointment of Board Member: RESOLVED, That the vacancy on the Board of School
Directors of the Mt. Lebanon School District occurring by reason of the resignation of James M. Fraasch shall be filled by ___________ for the remainder of the unexpired term, which expires the first Monday of December, 2011.
V. Oath of Office Administered by Judge Randal Todd to Newly Appointed Member
I am glad that the decision is not being made in executive session. Gee, I wish there was a “sarcasm” font. I did file a Right To Know of all applicants’ resumes and letters of application. My request was granted today. It will be interesting to compare their choice with the resumes that were submitted and their interviews on the podcasts.

There will most likely be a "straw vote" to pick the replacement Board Member in executive session and the Board's decision will be official when it is voted on in a public meeting.
This process should be the business of the board not the Superintendent's Key Communicator Committee.
