As the school year draws to an end, there is so much excitement in the air. The Board particularly feels a sense of renewal. Two new Community Representatives have been elected to serve on the Board for the years 2008-2010. Hoda Sarofim Sawiris brings with her expertise in the areas of training and education, financial management, and facilities development. Although new to the CAC community, Mary Marlowe brings with her extensive international school experience in community relations. The Board looks forward with great anticipation to working with both trustees. Another contributor to the heightened sense of renewal is the initiation of the new Elementary school construction with the school-wide Groundbreaking Ceremony scheduled for May 5th at 2:30 pm. All members of the community are invited to this momentous and fun event, and we look forward to seeing you there. A banner with construction highlights hangs just inside of the CAC Front Gate and is intended to draw your attention to important dates, such as the track closing on May 15th to reopen at the beginning of the fall semester. Construction will begin the moment school concludes this June. All efforts will be made by Board and Administration to keep the community in the loop. Speaking of keeping the community informed, the Board held its Annual General Meeting on April 16th as a best practice for furthering Board communication and transparency. Superintendent, Monica Greeley, reported on the status of the school and 'World Class' standards and benchmarks. In addition to the Board's Financial Report, Board committee chairs gave a summary of actions and decisions for the year 07-08. These included the 08-09 6% tuition increase, the institutionalization of the school-wide Safety Audit, the maintenance of and improvements to the current facilities, the purchase of new vehicles, and the continuing revision of policies in the Board Policy Manual and their alignment with current practices. As the AGM is a great tool for the community to stay well informed, the Board's biggest challenge is in exploring innovative ways to increase community interest in and attendance of these events. Better communication is and will always be a Board goal. The Board’s May Open Session is scheduled for Tuesday, May 13th at 6:00 pm in the Board room. The meeting agenda is e-mailed to the community on the previous Thursday. If you are not receiving Board correspondence, please notify Board Executive Assistant, Iman Bishara, by calling 2 755 5509, or e-mail her at Ibishara@cacegypt.org. We look forward to your presence.
Respectfully, Nivine Captan-Amr
