Each local District elects two representatives and two alternates to attend executive board meetings. The executive board meets monthly to discuss issues affecting elementary schools. Any principal with ideas to improve elementary schools and the services schools receive or with issues which need resolution should contact their local District representative or one of the committee chairpersons. Send us a message. Monthly executive board meetings are held during which representatives are able to discuss issues with leaders from various offices such as the Office of Instruction, Staff Relations, or Research and Evaluation.
Representatives bring issues from their local Districts.
Issues are either sent to the appropriate committee to be discussed with district personnel who can affect change or sometimes position statements are drafted when issues of general concern remain unresolved. Our EPO sponsor is Judy Burton, Superintendent of local District B. EPO has also taken a leading position in professional development for elementary principals. The board and members plan professional development for regional and citywide meetings designed to update and improve our leadership and instructional skills and knowledge. Each month the secretary takes minutes of the meetings which include the latest district updates and critical discussion relating to issues brought to the table by elected representatives from the clusters. Although all representatives have the minutes, this year in order to keep you better informed, we will be posting draft copies on this website and sending drafts to all principals following executive council meetings.
