Committee member proposes ad hoc 'Student Success and Support' group to study code-of-conduct consistency
Summary
Juan Romero proposed an ad hoc advisory committee to gather staff, parents, students and community members to study consistency in code-of-conduct enforcement and classroom supports; administrators said timing and prior work mean the district will help develop a survey and return recommendations to the committee.
Juan Romero proposed creating an ad hoc advisory committee to study how the district enforces its code of conduct and to collect “boots-to-the-ground” feedback from staff, parents, students and community members.
Romero said the group should be narrowly focused and short-term. “I put something together, maybe I don't have the answers of how to fix it per se, but I know people in the buildings do,” Romero said. He proposed a roughly three‑month timeline with a midpoint check and suggested the committee be open to public comment while keeping meetings structured.
The proposal drew support from some committee members and caution from administrators about timing. “Timing … could present somewhat of a challenge because, again, we're about to end the school year,” Doctor Garrison said, noting the committee should be coordinated with staff availability and existing efforts. Garrison also said previous work on the code of conduct and related policies exists and the district would want to incorporate that history into any new review.
Committee and staff members agreed the district would prepare a short survey to collect interest and availability from parents, staff, students and community members. Romero and Garrison agreed to draft questions and aim to circulate the survey quickly so the TLE committee could review public responses at or before the next committee meeting.
The conversation stayed at the planning stage: the committee did not vote to create membership or adopt final bylaws. Administrators said they would collect interested names and return a proposed roster and timeline to the TLE committee for further action.
Supporters said the review could feed into the district’s longer strategic planning. “I love, like, the spirit of this,” Megan Miller said, urging the committee to use its findings to shape strategic priorities. Romero said the ad hoc’s findings could be extended by the board at its discretion.
The committee scheduled its next regular TLE meeting for June 17, 2025. Staff said they would try to post the draft survey and list of questions for the committee to review before then.
Action on the proposal was procedural: staff were directed to draft and distribute a survey and return the results to the committee; no formal appointments or policy changes were adopted at the meeting.
