Board debates operating agreement; members ask to pare down draft and use a work session

Board members discussed a draft 'board governance and operating agreement' that consolidated several board expectations and a short superintendent agreement into one four‑page document. Several members said the draft was too long (44 bullet points) and included punitive language that overlapped existing policy. Multiple trustees recommended splitting the content into two documents — a superintendent–board operating agreement and separate board internal governance rules — and suggested using a facilitated work session (OSBA or a neutral third party) to complete the drafting.
