Background:
|
The Board has maintained a decades-long practice of dividing its work into standing committees. The role of the committees is to structure and manage the work of the Board. It is at the committee level where the Executive Officers present items, where administrative or invited experts provide background information and answer questions, and where public hearing is given. The committee then reports its findings and recommendations back to the Board. Currently there are five standing committees.
Three meet every month:
• the Committee on Parent and Community Engagement
• the Committee on Student Achievement and School Innovation
• the Committee on Accountability, Finance, and Personnel
Two meet at the call of the Chair:
• the Committee on Legislation, Rules and Policies
• the Committee on Strategic Planning and Budget
The powers and duties of each committee, and the frequency with which the committees meet, are codified within the Board’s rules.
Based on Board member feedback, public comment, and the current needs of the district, the Board may wish to consider the following options:
- Committee on Legislation, Rules and Policy to meet monthly for the 2025-26 school year, to further the work of the policy review project
- Move items that currently fall under the charge of the Committee on Parent and Community Engagement (PACE) under the charge of the Committee on Student Achievement and School Innovation
- Committee on Parent and Community Engagement would be scheduled at the call of the Chair. Meetings would follow the format that the current Chair of PACE has piloted. Specifically, the meeting format would be that of a community work session, with committee members engaging the public on a specific topic.
