Board seeks consistent timelines and explicit selection criteria across AR1 and AR2
Summary
Board members asked staff to add or reference policy IIA selection criteria in the ARs, and to harmonize differing timelines (30/60/45/7/10 days) so the process is consistent across documents.
Board members and staff agreed the ARs should reference the district’s selection criteria from policy IIA rather than reword or partially repeat those standards inconsistently. One member recommended simply referencing the policy selection criteria (policy IIA) where the AR requires review, rather than inserting partial or mismatched language.
Timing differences across ARs drew sustained attention: staff proposed changing a board response window from 30 days to 60 days to allow adequate review time, while others proposed harmonizing committee decision and appeal windows (for example 7 days for forwarding recommendations and 10 days for an appeal, with a 45-day committee recommendation deadline). A staff member urged making the two ARs read the same in the relevant paragraphs to avoid confusion.
The board asked staff to return with aligned timelines and with an option to insert a short reference to the policy selection criteria so committee reviews and appeals apply the same standards across documents.
