| VI. | ASSURANCE OF ORGANIZATIONAL PERFORMANCE AND POLICY REVIEW | ||||
| A. | Monitoring Reports | ||||
|
The school board adheres to the principles of Policy Governance ©. The board has written four sets of policies: Ends, Executive Requirements, Board-Superintendent Relationships, and Governance Process. The Ends policies describe the student outcomes the superintendent is charged with achieving. The Executive Requirement policies set the parameters within which the superintendent must operate as he/she leads the district toward the expected Ends. The BoardSuperintendent Relationships policies describe the way in which the board will oversee the superintendent’s performance and the superintendent will support the board. The Governance Process policies describe how the board and its individual members shall conduct business, represent the community, and relate to each other.
No less than once per year, the Board receives and considers evidence regarding the level of compliance with the provisions of these four sets of policies, a few at each meeting. The following are those policies to be monitored during this meeting. |
|||||
| B. | E-6 Educational Equity | ||||
|
A monitoring report is included in this digital board packet. The administration believes that all provisions of this policy have been following and implemented. The administration recommends that... ... the board find the superintendent's performance to comply with E-6. The administration also invites comments regarding the superintendent's performance. |
|||||
| C. | Policy Review | ||||
|
This is the Board's opportunity to discuss, propose and/or make revisions to the policies. The Board reviewed these policies for compliance in its previous meeting. This is an opportunity for the board to consider any needed changes to these recently monitored policies.
At the March 9 study session, the Board reviewed current policies ER-9 and ER-12. Following the study session, President Gonzalez Timmons was going to reach out to Director Biehl and Director Krotzer, who were unable to attend, to gather their input on a proposed timeline. President Gonzalez Timmons compiled the collective feedback and prepared a draft revision of ER-9 for full Board discussion. She also prepared a draft revision of ER-12 that incorporates the clarified focus discussed during the study session. Both drafts will be presented to the Board for a first reading and review. Following feedback and any necessary revisions, the policies will return for a second reading prior to moving forward for Board approval.
