Board adopts revised educational equity advisory committee policy, shifting appointment to superintendent
Summary
The board voted unanimously to adopt a policy that clarifies the district equity advisory committee will be selected and appointed by the superintendent rather than the board, reflecting a legislative shift and adding an option for an annual public report to the board.
The Centennial School District board unanimously adopted a revised educational equity advisory committee policy that aligns with legislative changes shifting the committee’s formal advisory relationship to the superintendent.
Dr. Kitsuda presented the policy and explained the main change: appointing the district equity advisory committee moves to the superintendent’s authority while maintaining the committee’s purpose to advise on equity impacts of policies and practices. The policy also elevates an option for the committee to prepare an annual report for the board.
Board members said the change reflects practice in other districts and could increase the committee’s responsiveness and community representation. Chair Shields and others signaled support and the board voted to accept the proposed policy as amended to remove a bracketed footnote.
The motion was made, seconded and recorded as approved by unanimous aye votes.
