Summary

Board discussion flagged that current policy drives frequent turnover of curriculum committee members; trustees suggested extending terms and revising policy language to reduce annual replacements.

Speaker 1 said the district’s curriculum committee policy forces frequent turnover and recommended revisiting the policy so members do not have to be replaced so often. "All of our curriculum committee members have to be reset," Speaker 1 said, adding that the way the policy is written "they flipped out." Speaker 2 agreed that replacements likely need to be addressed and suggested extending terms; Speaker 3 also supported revisiting the policy.

The discussion was procedural and did not include a formal motion or vote. Speakers noted that current language requires replacing members every year or every two years, creating administrative burden when the committee must be reconstituted frequently. Speaker 1 summarized the concern as part of broader governance: changing the committee cadence affects how curriculum reviews are conducted across grade levels.

District members agreed to revisit the written policy and consider extending member terms to maintain continuity. No formal action, motion or vote was recorded during the segment; the item moved on to course-proposal discussion.
