Mesquite ISD board amends standard operating procedures to hold self-evaluation every three years

The Mesquite Independent School District Board of Trustees on May 12 approved updated board standard operating procedures and amended the section on board self-evaluation to require the review every three years rather than annually.

Nut graf: Trustees debated one change in the proposed updates and voted to space the board self-evaluation at a three-year interval, a procedural amendment the board said was intended to reduce administrative burden.

Mr. Bingham moved to amend the proposed procedures to make the board self-evaluation occur every three years; Mr. Carville seconded. The board then approved the standard operating procedures with that amendment. Trustees indicated no further changes at the meeting.

Board members discussed the amendment as a modification to the administrative schedule; the motion passed with the board recording the vote as approved.

Ending: The revised procedures will appear in the district—s policy materials and govern board self-evaluation timing going forward unless the board votes to change the interval in the future.
