Policy review committee proposes treasurer be added to officer succession in ISD 191 policy
Summary
The committee proposed a narrow change to Policy 202 to allow the treasurer to perform the duties of the chair if the chair, vice chair and clerk are temporarily absent; the committee recommended forwarding the amendment on the consent agenda to the full board.
A member of the ISD 191 Policy Review Committee presented a targeted amendment on June 16 to Policy 202 (School Board Officers) to add the treasurer to the line of temporary succession.
The presenter said the change would allow the treasurer to perform the duties of the chair "in the event that the chair, vice chair, and clerk are temporarily absent," ensuring the district can proceed with board business when multiple officers are unavailable.
Committee members responded informally and supported placing the change on the consent agenda for the next regular board meeting. One participant joked that the situation prompting the change "would never happen" again, but members agreed the amendment was a sensible technical fix following an occurrence that prompted the revision.
The committee did not take a formal vote on the amendment; it recommended the policy change be included on the board's consent agenda at the upcoming regular meeting for final consideration by the full board.
