McHenry County College Board of Trustees held a rather heated meeting this morning which resulted in a change of board officers and a decision to offer Dr. Vicky Smith a contract to be President of McHenry County College with a salary offer of $195,000 per year.
Dr. Smith, originally from Decatur, IL, currently serving as President of Neosha County (Kansas) Community College was the choice of the board from three finalists which were presented to the public in three seperate sessions.
Prior to the decision on Dr. Smith, the board held a rather contentious discussion regarding reorganization of the Board with the result that Trustee Mary Miller, currently Vice-Chair, was elected by her fellow board members as Chair of the Board and Trustee Bob DeWitt was elected vice-chair.
Three months ago the usual annual re-organization of the board resulted in unanimously re-electing George Lowe as Chairman and Miller as Vice-Chair.
Discussion also ensued this morning about notifying other board members. The student trustee has always been considered a part of the board. In this instance Student Trustee Cody Sheriff questioned why he was not informed of the planned change in the Chairmanship of the board. Apologies were offered for not informing him.
