    <p>I think that most often when a person is an "acting" this or
      that, the person tries to avoid doing anything that remotely
      resembles change.  The person tries to be a caretaker, just
      keeping existing things more or less moving along.  But not making
      policy or stirring things up.<br>

        <div>However, IMHO, I think one letter that first reflects the
          general theme that PTO is doing things that could be improved
          per the stated goals of admin ( cost/efficiency/etc) ; and
          then states these in bullet form would be helpful for new AC 
          and would set an agenda for the meeting ( if he will take it).
          <div><br>

          <div>Hopefully, this will be an opportunity to have someone
