Special Board of Trustees Work Session - Oct 01 2026

The Lake Wales Charter Schools Board of Trustees held a special work session on October 1, 2026 (the meeting title date; metadata lists October 2). The session focused on leadership appointments. Superintendent Conrad announced Marte Wilson’s selection as principal of Edward W. Bok Academy North, following a two-round interview process involving school-family representatives and charter-system leaders. The superintendent also announced Blake Fan as assistant principal of curriculum at Bok Academy North and Britney Alexander as assistant principal at Babson Park, describing the moves as leadership-development opportunities.

Trustees discussed employee concerns about differences between a $3,000 raise and a 1% increase, including how the raises apply to experienced instructional leaders and coaches; the issue is expected to be discussed at the October 19 board meeting. A motion and second are audible near the end, followed by a roll call, but the transcript does not clearly establish the motion’s subject or outcome. No procurement, contract awards, or purchasing decisions were identified.
