Hi All,
I will not be available on Wednesday night. I propose that we have a face-to-face discussion. I have consulted our advisory board member Jianren
and hope we can all talk in front of each other within current board and advisory board members. We all have hearts to pursue the best of our school's future. So let's solve the current issue in a professional and peaceful way and move on to next school year.
Can we meet at WCC this coming Sunday @10:00AM the same schedule of our school day. I am sure we can find a nice cool place under the tree. Bring waters, snacks, blankets, chairs......enjoy the nature and do our business......
Regards,
Shengli

Hello All,
1. Wednesday evening I will not be available. We had most of our meetings on Friday night in the past, Friday night works for me.
2. The newly elected board members take office from August 1. They should not be in this requested meeting.
3. There are some emails sent to the board email list that I didn't receive after 7/17.
4. In last Friday night's meeting, Dai Yang received the email and dialed in. It seems he was/is included in the board member email distribution list already, which should not be allowed. The person in charge of this distribution list, should check and update immediately, and make sure proper inclusion, otherwise, this is serious violation.

Melissa,
1.
According to the Bylaw, 5.05.2, the meeting you called on
Friday needs at least 1/3 (3) board members to request to
have the meeting. I didn't see the 3rd board member
requested. Therefore call for the meeting is not following
Bylaw, the meeting is invalid. Consequently no one is
obliged to attend the meeting.
Bylaw 5.05.1 The Board shall meet at
least twice a semester, and Board meetings shall be presided
over by the Chairperson of the Board of
Directors. Bylaw 5.05.2
Special Board meetings may be called at the request of at
least one‑third of its members or at the request of the
Principal if he/she deems it necessary.
2.
According to Bylaw 5.01.2, a vacant board position should
be filled, after Chaochi
Tien resigned, the board didn't make public announcement
about this vacant position nor to fill it which is not
following the Bylaw and caused the deadlock now. The Board
is not above the Bylaw. Should the Board be
"以不遵守BYLAW为耻"?
Bylaw 5.01.2 A
Director of the Board may resign at any time upon advance
written notice to the Board. In case of a vacancy on the
Board, the Board members shall fill the
vacancy as per Article 5.02. (Please see below about Article
5.02 ***)
It's
Summer time, I hope all of us enjoy nature, and good
life.
Sincerely,
Aiping
***Bylaw5.02 Election of
Directors 5.02.1 The Board of Directors shall
be elected at a Meeting of Members held at least one week
before the last day of classes of the School
Year. 5.02.2 The Chairperson of the Board of
Directors shall announce the openings on the Board at least
seven (7) weeks prior to the election date.
5.02.3 In order to be eligible for election to the Board of
Directors, a candidate must be a current Voting Member in
good standing with a registered student in the School. The
candidate must submit a written petition to the Election
Committee with the signatures of two percent (2%) of the
Voting Members stating which position the candidate intends
to seek within two (2) weeks of the announcement of the open
positions. The candidate should disclose his position as a
director of any other organization(s). The sitting Principal
and Chairperson of the Parents Council may run for a term on
the Board of Directors in the following School Year provided
they announce their intent to run immediately after the
Board of Directors announces the open
positions. 5.02.4 The Election Committee will
prepare and publish the list of candidates for the open
Director positions three (3) weeks after the announcement of
the open positions. 5.02.5 The Directors are
elected by Voting Members. The election shall be conducted
by written ballot in person or by proxy under the
supervision of the Election Committee. The upper limit to
the number of votes that a voting member may cast is half of
Board director positions to be filled (round up). This upper
limit will be five (5) for nine (9) Board open positions,
four (4) for eight (8) or seven (7) Board open positions,
three (3) for six (6) or five (5) Board open positions, two
(2) for four (4) or three (3) Board open positions, and one
(1) for two (2) or one (1) Board open position(s). One vote
may be cast for one candidate. Ballots containing more votes
than the upper limit are invalid and will be discarded. All
votes shall be immediately counted and the candidates with
the highest number of votes shall be elected. In the event
of a tie there will be a runoff as determined by the
Election Committee. 5.02.6 The candidates with
the highest number of votes who are not elected shall be
retained in reserve and may be called to fill Board
vacancies as prescribed in these Bylaws. If there are no
reserves or the candidates in reserve decline to serve, the
position shall remain open until the next
election. 5.02.7 The newly elected Directors
shall take office on the first day of the new School

one additional one (1) year term. The terms of the Directors
shall be staggered so that not all Directors’ terms expire
simultaneously. Four (4) years is the maximum lifetime

Dear All,
Although
three Board members didn't join the meeting without
advance notice, we still had a productive meeting and
discussed a lot of things for our school. Based on bylaw 5.06.1 Directors have the
obligation to attend Board meetings. Proper notification is
required if a Director is not able to attend the meeting.
If a Board Director is absent from two consecutive meetings
without appropriate reasons, his or her
resignation shall be deemed to have been tendered and
accepted.
Thanks
to Board Members Shengli Liu, Zhong Chen, and other school
leaders Yang Dai, Liang Cao and Julian Shen to sacrifice 3
hours their time to discuss school issues. They are the true
leaders who sincere cared about our school. Special thanks
go to Julian who let us use his line and join the call to
make sure the line works.
We
agreed to give the other three Board members another chance
for meeting. I will call another meeting shortly. Hopefully,
we can have a quorum to discuss & resolve instead of
submitting the issue to whole members of our school. It is
not good people are willing to make speculation, guess or
gossip behind others' back instead of meeting face to
face and discuss the issues at hand and on the table. This
must change.
Our
school still face a potential legal dispute from GNY about
the "HXNY trademark" next year. We need to make
sure any legal loophole is fixed and bylaw is followed in
our school. The parents elected the Board members to protect
our school. We the leaders should read the bylaw and do our
job.
我们要改变以遵守BYLAW为耻，不遵守为荣的观念。
GNY
can very easily get a copy of our school directory for
2013-2014. If they find our school's Board member or
Board Chair is not a voting member of our school, we can
easily lose the battle before it
starts. Based on our past experience, it is something GNY
will use it to against us when needed. This is the issue I
sincerely hope the Board and school leaders take it
seriously and jointly correct before next school year and
have a legal Board Meeting minutes for it. Without it, the
next school's Board can not function legally and
legitimately.
Bylaw 4.02.1 Members who are no longer
adult students of the School or parents or guardians of
minors who are registered students of school shall
automatically be terminated as Voting Members.
Thank
you, Melissa

Julian,
This
is a direct dump from our registration database as of
today regarding Lijie Cheng's membership status for
2013-2014 school year. There is no class registered for
2013-2014 school year. The data speaks for itself and no
further investigation is needed.
Thanks.

Melissa,
I think that
it is more proper for you to speak to Jianping directly or
submit a formal investigation behalf the BOARD to get all
the records you are looking for.

Julian,
Please have jianping provide a printout of the
school registration record of her daughter's
registration date, and check clearing date and provide them
to the board.
We all know
lijie registered her daughter the year before for ap
Chinese, not 2013-2014. Her family and her daughter's
name is not in this year's official school directory.
Both aiping and shengli's kids are in ap Chinese class,
they should know better. Lijie's daughters name is not
in ap Chinese class roster. Jianping might provided you
2012-2013 school year information.
On July 4, 2014, the school registration
records showed her daughter withdrawed the hsk class and
registered no class. Therefore, she is not a voting
member with registered students.
Could you clarify? Thanks.
