Introduction
University policy requires public school academies (PSA) to provide information for the establishment of a board of directors and the process for selection and reappointment of its members. Before executing contracts with public school academies, the university approves the method of selection, the length of term, and the number of members on the board of directors, all of which are included in the public school academies’ Articles of Incorporation. In accordance with policy, the Office of Urban Partnerships & Public School Academies is recommending the approval of three new and eight renewal PSA board members. Due diligence and background checks have been completed for the applicants. The Oakland University Board of Trustees has also been provided with copies of the PSA Applicant and Board Director Questionnaire for each applicant.
