Hillsborough School Board holds its annual reorganization meeting Nov. 17
The one business item posted so far is the yearly meeting of the board's school-financing corporation.
TAMPA - The Hillsborough County School Board will hold its annual reorganization meeting at 10 a.m. Tuesday, Nov. 17, at the district's headquarters, 901 E. Kennedy Blvd., according to the agenda the district posted Nov. 10. Public comment is listed near the start of the meeting.
The only business item on the posted agenda is a piece of financial housekeeping. Board members will briefly recess and meet as the Hillsborough School Board Leasing Corporation, which acts as the lessor when the district buys school buildings through lease-purchase financing, the agenda item summary says. The corporation's bylaws require that meeting to fall on the same day as the board's reorganization meeting.
In that session, members are set to appoint the corporation's board of directors, its chair and vice chair, and its president and vice president. The procedures sheet in the packet leaves those names blank, but it lists Van Ayres for the post of secretary-treasurer. Board member Karen Perez is set to open the session as the corporation's chair and president, and bond counsel Ritesh Patel of Nabors, Giblin & Nickerson is scheduled to explain the bylaw requirement, the documents say.
