Background:
|
At its meeting of March 21, 2024, the Board considered the question of whether to revise the structure of its standing committees. The Office of Board Governance was directed to bring back to the Board possible options for consideration, which are attached.
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:
• the Committee on Parent and Community Engagement
• the Committee on Student Achievement and School Innovation
• the Committee on Legislation, Rules and Policies
• the Committee on Accountability, Finance, and Personnel
• 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.
