PS: One takes a lot of work to run. Everyday business is preventing the Board from working on long-term goals for the space. In order to help with some of that workload, the Board would like to propose hiring a part-time staff member. 
We've looked at all the ramifications we could imagine (and some we didn't, thanks to members calling them to our attention) and consulted with Bucketworks and The School Factory (Bucketworks has had a position like this for quite awhile now) to figure out how we could feasibly and appropriately hire. 
We think we've figured out how to do so well. The position will be limited in scope and hours and will also run under a four-month trial period (four rather than three so that the new board has some say when they're elected). 
If you have questions or want further details, feel free to post here or email me directly. 
The proposal is as follows: 
------- 
The Board of Directors proposes to hire a part-time staff member to help run PS:One operations. The Board can change the hours and length of contract as appropriate to the funds available and work necessary for PS:One.
