The Centennial School District Governing Board unanimously adopted a revised policy clarifying the district's Educational Equity Advisory Committee structure and appointment process.

Dr. Katsuda told the board the change reflects state legislative updates from 2021 that moved appointment authority from the board to the superintendent; the rewrite makes that shift explicit and clarifies the committee's advisory role to the superintendent. "You'll see here some of the big ideas is the selection and and appointing of the, district equity advisory committee is done by the superintendent versus the board," Dr. Katsuda said.

Board members said the change narrows the appointment process and makes the committee more directly connected to district practice. Chair Shields proposed adoption without the footnote about a name-change; a motion to accept the proposed policy as amended was seconded and the board voted "aye" unanimously.

The approved policy also includes language encouraging the committee to prepare an annual report to the board, a nonbinding option that board members said will help surface the committee's advisory suggestions publicly.

No financial or programmatic changes accompanied the policy adoption; selection, membership criteria and reporting cadence will be implemented by the superintendent's office.
