Board names Trustee Alex Woodley legislative representative, 6-1
Summary
Trustees selected Clerk Alex Woodley to serve as the board's legislative representative under updated policy; Trustee Diane Nicollet registered a substantive objection to the process during discussion.
The board appointed Trustee Alex Woodley as the district legislative representative under board policy 09/1955 GS, voting 6-1.
Vice President Adam Mayberry moved to appoint Woodley; Trustee JJ Phoenix seconded the motion. The board voted 6 in favor and 1 opposed. Trustee Diane Nicollet said she believed the revised policy and the selection mechanism reflected an unnecessary expansion of the role and that she would vote against the appointment on principle.
The legislative representative role, as described in the updated policy, serves in an advisory capacity to the superintendent and the district legislative affairs team and may attend legislative sessions and subcommittee meetings to convey district views; the policy provides a mechanism for the representative to request a full board agenda item if a piece of legislation warrants board-level consideration.
Ending: Woodley will serve as the board's designated legislative representative; trustees discussed that any board-level positions on legislation would be brought back to the full board for consideration as needed.
