Summary
Superintendent Dr. Perez introduced a draft interaction-protocol packet (parliamentary procedures and discussion stems) to help the board govern more effectively and announced the Future Ready team will regularly report to the board as bond planning advances.
Superintendent Dr. Perez used the board’s informational slot to present a draft toolkit intended to guide board interactions in meetings, explain roles and provide discussion stems for clearer deliberation.
The packet includes a quick parliamentary-procedure guide, a visual checklist of governance responsibilities and sample discussion stems aimed at prompting balanced dialogue. "If I've got to make a motion, hey. If I'm not sure I agree with that and want to amend it, just some of the processes that boards are expected to use to do their business," Dr. Perez said, describing the packet as a practical, on-the-desk resource for new and experienced directors.
Dr. Perez acknowledged collaborators who helped draft the materials and invited editorial feedback. He said staff will produce a second draft for review at a future meeting after collecting board input.
Separately, Dr. Perez said the district’s Future Ready team — identified in recent planning workshops — will become a recurring presence in superintendent informational items and will anchor community-facing planning and communications if the district pursues a bond. "You should expect in May and June as we get into the summer...we really ramp up," he said, indicating that regular updates will begin once graduation and bargaining work are complete.
The board provided positive feedback on the packet’s design and recommended minor editorial adjustments before the next circulation.
