The members of the Caroline County Board of Education desire to hear the views and have the advice of interested citizens. The public comment session is held at each Board meeting for that purpose.
The following procedures are to be followed during this time:
Explanation: In order to ensure safe, efficient, and effective school operations it is essential that the school system fill the vacant Assistant Principal position at Lockerman Middle School as of October 29.
Recommendation: That the Board of Education appoint Ms. Debbie Siachos to represent management as an Eastern Shore of Maryland Educational Consortium (ESMEC) Health Insurance Alliance trustee.
Explanation: Each participating school system appoints two trustees, one representing management and one representing the employee bargaining group. A trustee’s term is for one year and is automatically renewed unless the trustee resigns, is removed, or is otherwise unable to serve.
Mr. Milton Nagel has been serving as the management trustee since 1997 but with his recent retirement, Ms. Debbie Siachos will be replacing Mr. Nagel. Ms. Margaret Wittman has been serving since 2020 as the second trustee and represents the employee bargaining group.

Explanation: Each participating school system appoints one trustee to represent the school system to the MABE Group Insurance Pool. Mr. Milton Nagel had served as the trustee prior to his retirement, and this responsibility aligns with Mr. Bill Mengel's scope of work as Director of Operations.
