Board Governance Goals
BOARD GOVERNANCE GOAL 2025-26
By June 30, 2026, the school board will complete a comprehensive review and revision of all policies within the 5000 series, ensuring alignment with current legal requirements, educational best practices, and district goals. This review will pay special attention to two priority areas identified in the 2024-25 board self-assessment under Standard 3:
- Policies that ensure the hiring and retention of highly qualified staff (Question 35), and
- Policies that support staff evaluation based on student success and the expectation that all classrooms implement effective instructional practices (Questions 36 and 45).
This process will include:
- Reviewing at least two 5000 series policies per month during regularly scheduled board meetings;
- Engaging relevant stakeholders when applicable (district administrators, teacher leaders and parent groups) for input by May 2026;
- Approving all revised or newly adopted policies through formal board action no later than the June 17, 2026 board meeting.
Progress will be documented and reviewed monthly through updates to the Board Meeting Planning Template, in Friday Board Briefings, and recorded in meeting minutes.
