A question regarding possible
exit interviews with employees
leaving the district remains
unanswered by members of the
Van Buren Public Schools Board
of Education.
The question came from
Barbara Rogalle Miller who fol-
lowed the regular procedures
for questions to the board
toward the end of the recent
meeting.
Board president Brent
Mikulski answeredMiller's ques-
tion with an assurance that
Superintendent of Schools
Michael Van Tassel and the
administration staff would pre-
pare a report which would be
available to the staff and to the
public. He added that a culture
and climate survey of employees
was planned forOctober.
That information appeared to
surprise board member Sherry
Frazier who said she was
unaware that a decision regard-
ing such a survey had been
made.
Van Tassel confirmed that the
survey was planned for October
and would include parents and
members of the administration.
He characterized the survey as
“exactlywhat is needed.”
Miller asked when the board
members had approved such a
survey as she had attended most
recent meetings and could not
recall this issue being approved.
She asked if there was a cost or
expense for the survey.
Mikulski said the survey was
approved in emails among board
members and Martha Toth, the
vice president of the board, said
the expense would be paid from
accounts payable.
Miller, however, asked for
clarification noting that she had
not asked about a survey, but
about exit interviews.
Miller said morale among the
teaching staff is low and there is
an abnormally low retention rate
of staff. She said she felt exit
interviews should be discussed
publicly by the boardmembers
Board members did not reply
to her request although Frazier
offered a motion adding the
question of exit interviews to the
next meeting agenda for discus-
sion.
“Ms. Miller represents a good
portion of the 79 percent of peo-
ple who do not have children in
the schools,” she said, noting
that these people are also voters.
“We need to address exit
interviews,” Frazier said. “We
need to not sweep it under the
rug, but discuss it openly.
Professional exit interviews can
be very beneficial to the organi-
zation that uses them.”
Toth responded during some
heated discussion that Frazier
would not get a second to her
motion to put exit interviews on
the agenda
Miller asked Toth if she was
speaking for the entire board in
denying support for a discussion
of exit interviews as the other
boardmembers offered criticism
of Frazier's attempts to put the
issue on the agenda.
“It's not going to go away until
we address it,”Frazier said.

ing death and one count of oper-
ating while intoxicated. He was

pants of the eastbound vehicle, 16
and 17-year-old boys from
Dearborn and Burnham were
transported by EMS services to a
nearby hospital with non-life

is awaiting his preliminary exam-
ination set for Aug. 25.
