2013-14 Offer Process
On Feb 13, 2013, Tamara Logan and I met with BCS Board members Joe Hurd and Peter Evans to disucss the Preliminary Offer (PO). As I noted in my Feb 11 email to Ken Moore , there were some practical limitations to that meeting. For example, since District staff were already committed to a different meeting to review District finances, we wouldn't be able to provide answers to some of their questions. During the meeting, we kept running notes of the question, which all parties reiviewed and accepted. Since then, the District has pulled together responses to the questions.
Yesterday, I sent these responses to BCS. I've also committed that we would make these responses public, in an effort to maintain transparency in the process. I have attached the responses here.

About Me
- Doug Smith
- I have 1 child in the LASD schools, and 1 who has graduated and moved on to high school. After several years of active volunteer work, I got involved in the school board. In the fall of 2009, I was elected to the Board of Trustees. I am grateful for the trust the community has placed in me. I intend to continue to use this blog to share my thoughts about district matters.
I have a passion for using technology to solve problems in new ways. I draw on my experience at a subscription billing company and past tech ventures to inform new approaches to solving longstanding issues in education. It isn't always comfortable for folks, but I believe there is a lot of cross-polination that can happen.
Please remember that this blog is my personal blog, and does not reflect the opinion of the Board as a group. No statements made here can be considered an offical policy of the Board, and this does not replace actions by the Board in any way. However, I'm happy to share what I can and I look forward to hearing your thoughts too.
