Committee postpones review of district crowdfunding policy, requests district presentation

The Concord School Board communication and policy committee found a crowdfunding policy draft in its packet but agreed the document appeared to be an early draft and not ready for detailed committee action. Chair Karen Baker said crowdfunding had previously come to the committee as a pre-draft and that the committee should review any district feedback from staff and administrators before taking action: “I would probably appreciate a presentation from the district on what feedback they got from staff, so that we have an opportunity to review,” she said. Committee members agreed to research the draft and to ask district staff to present the administration’s collected feedback at the next committee meeting. The committee placed the item on its 12–18 month policy review list and marked the item as TBD for further review. No formal motion or vote was taken on crowdfunding at this meeting.
