[Busmgrs] Transitions

[Teri Pointer]

Well Michael,
 
I know congratulations are in order and I am very happy for you, but
really sad for us.  You have been wonderful in your support and patience
coming this direction and you will be missed greatly!!
 
It is always wonderful when someone with skill is promoted and I am
sure you will do a fantastic job in your new position (but you will miss
us!!!)
 
Congrats!

were yesterday.

Dear Business Managers,

 
I wanted to let you know that I will be moving on from the position of
State School Fund Coordinator. I have recently been given a promotion
within ODE. I will be taking on the role of School Facilities
Coordinator full time. In that role I will be working on the OSCIM
Program, technical grants, and other programs established under SB 447.
 
I am very excited for the promotion, new challenges and opportunities.
However, I have enjoyed the past five years as your State School Fund
Coordinator. I will miss those interactions with you and your staff.
 
I can’t believe that it has been five years since I first joined ODE
without a clue what I was doing. You were very welcoming and patient
with me as I learned the ropes and got my legs under me. You then
exhibited even more patience when my answer always seemed to be “no” as
the state pulled itself out of the recession. I have learned a lot from
the OASBO community and thank you for that.
 
Thank you also for all of the invitations to speak and meet with
everyone across the state. I enjoyed the travel and getting to see
everyone. It took a while but I also finally learned the dress code for
each region of the state. I enjoyed the trainings and presentations at
all of the conferences. It was great being a resource for everyone as
well. Together I think we have built a solid program that will easily
survive the transition.
 
The good news is that I will continue to be heavily involved in the
State School Fund for the next couple of months. I know that Mike
Wiltfong will soon be recruiting for the new coordinator. Once that
person is on board, I will help train them and get everyone through the
May payment. I plan to continue to go to the zone meetings for this year
as well. So together we should be able to make for a smooth transition
for the next person. Speaking of the next person, if anyone is
interested or knows of someone who is interested, please let them know.
We will also be posting the job announcement once it is ready to go. 
 
Thank you for a great five years and I look forward to continuing to
work with you as the School Facilities Coordinator.
 
Thank you,
Michael
