District to form equity committee by merging site councils, board told
Summary
Staff told the Monroe SD 1J board the district must create a district equity committee (uncertain whether requirement is State or ODE); the plan is to merge building site councils into one advisory committee that will include a non-board budget committee member.
District staff told the board that the district will establish a district equity committee to meet a new requirement; the speaker said they were not sure whether the mandate comes from the State or the Oregon Department of Education (ODE). The proposal is to merge the two existing building site councils into a single district equity committee and to include one budget committee member who is not a board member, as required by the guidance cited in the discussion.
Staff described the committee as advisory and said they expected to convene it roughly once a year, likely in December or January. Board members and staff discussed outreach to potential members and said they would identify candidates and explain the committee's role before the first meeting.
The equity committee will advise district leadership; the board did not take a formal vote but directed staff to move ahead with outreach and planning so the committee is in place for the coming school year.
