  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. ER-11 District Calendar
   

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 ER-11. 

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. 

 

The board will discuss Policy E-6 Educational Equity at their next study session on May 11, 2026.

 
     
  D. Policy Review - Second Reading and Possible Action
   

Second Reading — ER-9 Communication with the Public & ER-12 Student Conduct and Discipline
 

The proposed revisions to ER-9 Communication with the Public and ER-12 Student Conduct and Discipline were presented for a First Reading at the March 23, 2026 Board Meeting. No further changes were identified or discussed. If no changes are warranted at this meeting, the Administration recommends that the Board approve the changes to ER-9 Communication with the Public and ER-12 Student Conduct and Discipline.
