IV. Scope of Committee

1st Reading: Scope of the Appeals Committee

The Committee reviewed the scope and discussed the possibility of hearing Staff or Code of conduct appeals.  It was determined that this was not appropriate to be heard in a Committee other than the full Board of Trustees.  

 

We discussed the purpose of items like the lottery and annual enrollment plan in committee prior to advancing it to the Board of Trustees.  It is the role of the administration to come up with annual plans.  It is ideal to have a sub-set of Trustees review plan(s) prior to bringing it to the full Board for support of the plan(s) and provide feedback prior to reaching that level of approval.
