Committee adopts amended liaison bylaw and rescinds older policy
Summary
The committee amended and adopted bylaw 9132.8 to guide board liaisons to external boards and rescinded policy 9133; amendments added 'prior school relationship and experience' as considerations in liaison assignments.
The committee reviewed and amended proposed bylaw 9132.8 governing school board liaisons to local schools and community organizations. Members suggested adding experience and prior school relationships to the factors considered when assigning liaisons, to promote positive collaboration and to align appointments with board and community needs.
A motion to amend the bylaw language to read that consideration shall be given to “board members' interests, geographic proximity, prior school relationship and experience to foster positive relationships and collaboration” was moved, seconded and passed. The committee then moved to rescind policy 9133, which overlapped with liaison language; the rescission was approved.
Next steps: The amended bylaw will be forwarded to the full board; staff will coordinate any needed cross-references with other appointment policies (e.g., 9140, 9133) prior to final board action.
