Agenda Planning                                                                                                                              4.3

 

To accomplish its stated objectives, the Board will adopt and follow an annual agenda which includes continuing review, monitoring and refinement of all policies, linkage meetings with identified ownership and staff groups, and activities to improve board performance through educational, enriched input and deliberation.

Accordingly:

1)     The planning cycle will end each year in May in order that administrative decision-making and budgeting can be based on accomplishing the next one-year segment of the Board’s most recent statement of long-term Ends.

2)     The planning cycle will start with the Board’s development of its agenda for the next year, and will include:

a.      Scheduled linkage discussions and consultations with selected groups and persons whose opinions will be helpful to the Board;

b.      Educational discussions on governance matters, including orientation of new Board members in the Board’s governance process, and periodic discussions by the Board about means to improve its own process;

c.      Consideration of student achievement as defined by Ends policies (e.g. examining data and presentations by futurists, demographers, advocacy groups, staff, etc.);

d.      Scheduled monitoring of all policies;

e.      Superintendent monitoring, policy criteria, and monitoring schedule, if monitoring reports show policy violations; and

f.        Superintendent remuneration after a review of monitoring reports.
