4.3 Agenda Planning

To accomplish its job products with a governance style consistent with Board policies, the Board will follow an annual agenda which (a) completes a re-exploration of Ends policies annually and (b) continually improves Board performance through Board education and enriched input and deliberation.

1. The cycle will begin in July with the Board’s development of its agenda for the next year and conclude on the last day of June.

A. Consultations with selected groups in the ownership, or other methods of gaining ownership input will be determined and arranged in the first quarter, to be held during the balance of the year.

B. Governance education, and education related to Ends determination, (e.g. presentations by futurists, demographers, advocacy groups, staff, etc.) will be arranged in the first quarter, to be held during the balance of the year.

2. Throughout the year, the Board will attend to consent agenda items as expeditiously as possible.

3. Superintendent monitoring will be included on the agenda if monitoring reports and other agreed upon measures show policy violations, or if policy criteria are to be debated.

4. Superintendent remuneration will be decided after a review of monitoring reports and other agreed upon measures received in the last year during the month of June.
