Board plans work session to prepare RFP for outside legal counsel
Summary
Board members discussed issuing or updating a request for proposals to secure outside legal counsel, emphasized board-governance experience as a selection criterion, and agreed to hold a work session before the August meeting to finalize an RFP and timeline.
Several board members said the district must begin work on an RFP to select outside legal counsel and referenced board-governance responsibilities in policies BBA and BDG as criteria for selection. One member said, "We just need to get together, set up a work session, and begin the process of preparing an RFP," and others agreed the district’s prior RFPs and rubrics can serve as starting points.
The board discussed timeline options, including posting the RFP for a couple of weeks and possibly scheduling an extra meeting to expedite selection. Members emphasized including screening criteria and an interview process if desired; the group agreed to plan a work session ahead of the first August meeting and to circulate past RFP documents for review before the session.
