At a board work session, members said the district’s Executive Limitations (EL 1 and EL 2) statements need clearer, measurable monitoring so the board can tell whether the superintendent is working within the district's stated limits. Board members asked the superintendent to provide a revised report for the August meeting that highlights specific monitoring data, such as safety-committee meeting counts and numbers of facilities or special-education incidents handled.

The board discussed how ELs function in the district's governance framework: not as daily operations manuals but as boundaries for administration and as part of the superintendent's eventual evaluation. Several members said the existing EL text reads like policy language and lacks the kind of trend data that would let the board confirm compliance without invading operational discretion.

District administrators said many of the items covered by EL 1 and EL 2 are handled continuously through the central administrative team's routines (human resources, operations and finance). Administrators noted that some events that might show noncompliance appear only when a complaint is filed or when a safety incident occurs; those matters are usually handled administratively and only come to the board if they are appealed or if counsel becomes involved.

Board members proposed a compact monitoring format: list the committee or process (for example, safety committee or special-education safety committee), report how many times it met in the period, how many issues were raised and how many issues were resolved. The superintendent agreed to modify the EL report and to provide data the board can follow going forward.

The board and superintendent also discussed limits on what information is reported publicly because personnel matters and pending appeals must remain confidential. Administrators said some records are not currently kept in a way that makes retroactive aggregation easy; creating a new tracking process for certain metrics would require staff time. The board asked the administration to assemble whatever data are already collected and produce a clearer, condensed monitoring report for the August 20 meeting.

The session closed with agreement on next steps: the superintendent will try to provide a modified EL monitoring report in advance of the board's next regular meeting and will adopt the board's preferred bullet-point summary format going forward.
