V. Discussion of Board Advisory Committees
Rationale

Board Policy 10.2 states in part:

From time to time, the Board may appoint committees composed of citizens to advise the Board on specific matters. The Superintendent shall appoint District employees to serve on these committees as necessary. Such committees shall be ad hoc in nature and will serve at the pleasure of the Board.

During a Work Session on January 24, 2017, the Board identified three areas for which Advisory Committees to the Board are to be established:

  • Finance Advisory Committee
  • Academic Opportunities Advisory Committee
  • Culture, Climate, and Equity Advisory Committee

This Work Session will allow further discussion of these advisory committees by the Board

The establishment of these advisory committees to the Board will be brought to the Board as an action item on March 21, 2017.

Submitted by: Jonathan Lowe on behalf of Board Chair Chris Brady

VI. Board Planning Calendar
Rationale

At its March 7, 2017, meeting, the Board adopted a plan to pilot an alternative way to manage Board meetings for March and May 2017. Now that the alternative structure is in place, the Board needs to determine the items to be included on the agendas of future board meetings.

The Board will have an opportunity to review a list of Board requests for information, and the Superintendent’s recommendations for how to respond to each request. Responses could include being placed on the Board Agenda planning calendar for future meetings, the creation of a written response to be included in the Board Friday Update, referral to Board Committee for review and consideration, or other action.  

The Board Agenda Planning Calendar will be updated based on this discussion.
