Policy committee sets timeline to complete board self‑assessment ahead of January meeting
Summary
The committee reviewed a South Carolina School Boards Association sample self‑assessment, favored a single metrics‑based document for multiple governance categories, and assigned Amanda to compile results so the board can complete and discuss them in January.
The committee reviewed a sample board self‑assessment form from the South Carolina School Boards Association intended to satisfy governance category requirements. Board members generally favored a metrics approach with room for narrative comments and agreed to use one assessment document across the governance categories rather than multiple separate forms.
Janet Graham said the committee should complete the assessment in time for the board's first January meeting. Amanda volunteered to compile returned assessments and provide consolidated results for committee and board review in mid‑to‑late January. Members discussed deadlines and agreed staff would circulate the form promptly so members can return it, allowing compilation and discussion at the January work session and the first January board meeting if desired.
Next steps: staff to distribute the assessment, collect responses, compile results and present a summary to the committee for final review in January.
