The Steamboat Springs School District No. Re 2 Board of Education voted June 2 to adopt multiple revised and new Executive Limitation (EL) policies and to defer one budget‑related policy for further staff review.

The board adopted revised policies EL‑1, EL‑2, EL‑4, EL‑13 and EL‑17 as presented and approved amendments to EL‑9, EL‑12 and EL‑16. Board members also approved six new EL policies: EL‑3 (development of administration policy), EL‑6 (educational program), EL‑7 (instructional material selection and adoption), EL‑10 (student conduct), EL‑11 (school safety) and EL‑14 (staff evaluation). The motion to adopt the revised and amended ELs passed unanimously.

Why it matters: Executive Limitation policies define constraints and expectations for district leadership and operations; changes and new policies shape the superintendent’s duties and administrative boundaries going forward.

Amendments and a deferred item: During second reading the board made targeted wording adjustments on EL‑9 and EL‑12 to clarify the timing and reporting of responses to concerns; EL‑16 wording was edited for parallel grammatical structure in the policy list. The board explicitly deferred EL‑15 (budgeting) for additional review after district finance staff and the board discussed statutory requirements and prefatory language; finance staff recommended further comparison to state statute and suggested revising some affirmative language before the board reconsiders EL‑15.

Roll calls and procedure: Each policy adoption was moved and seconded and passed on recorded roll‑call votes with all members present voting aye. Several items were discussed to correct wording (for example, changing “respond meaningfully and timely” to “respond meaningfully … and report … in a timely manner”) and to renumber or rephrase clauses for clarity. The board asked staff (Deb Genesta and Stephanie Juno) to ensure the final documents reflect the agreed wording and numbering before posting.

Ending: The board instructed staff to finalize the amended policy text and return EL‑15 after the recommended statutory review; no budgetary commitments were made during the policy actions.
