Summary

The policy committee reported that a policy audit from 2021–22 had guided earlier work and that the district will request an updated audit from StrausSMA; Trustee Vega volunteered to help lead the effort.

The Hawthorne Board of Education’s policy committee reported it had reviewed the district’s prior 2021–22 policy audit and determined that while the district is not in as poor a state as originally believed, several policies still need updating. The committee said it will request an updated policy audit from StrausSMA, the vendor the district currently pays for policy services.

Committee members discussed bringing StrausSMA back to help identify needed updates and sustain ongoing maintenance. Trustee Vega told the committee she has experience related to policy work and “has graciously volunteered to help spearhead this campaign to keep us on track,” the committee report said.

The committee said it will provide updates to the full board as the StrausSMA engagement is confirmed.
