Board reviews policy housekeeping: move to rescind procedure 5.11.1 and update ethics wording
Summary
Board members and staff discussed rescinding Procedure 5.11.1 and related forms because they are procedures or forms rather than policy, and recommended changing language in a duty section to "ethical standards." The board indicated rescissions would require three readings.
District staff recommended rescinding Procedure 5.11.1 and associated forms and moving procedural material into administrative handbooks rather than policy.
A presenter told the board that Policy 5.11.1 is a procedure and therefore should be rescinded as policy; the district would need three readings to rescind it. The presenter also said form 5.35.1 is a form and that the material belongs in the administrator's handbook rather than in board policy.
In a separate governance edit, the presenter recommended changing the second blue heading under duties to read "ethical standards" rather than "duties as an individual board member," noting the revision arose from recent feedback and work by board members and staff.
The board discussed formatting and minor edits, and staff said they appreciated input from board members; no formal vote occurred and staff indicated the rescission would follow the required three-reading process.
