Board finds executive limitations compliant; adds communications requirement for interim superintendent

The Redmond School District Board of Directors, following its annual monitoring review, unanimously found executive limitation number 1 (global executive constraint) and executive limitation number 2 (emergency superintendent succession) compliant.

For EL1, the superintendent presented the monitoring report including safety and conduct metrics for the 2024-25 school year: no ethics violations that rose to the level of board appeal, 117 required safety-committee meetings during the school year, and 141 injury reports with 103 injury analyses completed (as reported by staff). Board members praised the added detail and asked staff to include year-to-year trend comparisons in future monitoring reports so the board can judge whether counts are rising or falling.

On EL2 (emergency superintendent succession), the monitoring report noted the district's prior practice of designating an assistant superintendent (operations) as acting successor; the superintendent confirmed she informed the board chair when she was absent and remained available by phone and email. During discussion the board added an amendment clarifying that, in the superintendent's absence, the superintendent "shall not fail to instruct the interim to complete weekly board updates," reflecting the board's expectation that communication to the board continue when an interim is operating in the superintendent's absence.

The board voted unanimously to find EL1 and EL2 compliant and to adopt the narrowed amendment to EL2 as written.

Decisions recorded at the meeting: - Motion to find Executive Limitation 1 compliant: passed unanimously. - Motion to find Executive Limitation 2 compliant and to adopt the amendment requiring weekly board updates by an acting interim: passed unanimously.

Board members emphasized that the EL monitoring process is intended to be data driven; one member requested that future EL1 monitoring include simple trend lines to make counts (safety meetings, incident reports) easier to interpret.

No change to the district's succession designation was made; the board's action addressed monitoring outcomes and added the communications expectation to EL2.
