Subcommittee flags BBA appointment changes for further review, seeks district practice examples
Summary
The draft BBA (school committee powers and duties) was identified as making substantive changes to who the committee appoints; members agreed to flag the policy for deeper review and to survey other districts' practices via listserv.
Members identified BBA as one of the draft policies with more significant changes to current practice, specifically language that explicitly lists additional positions the committee might appoint. Brad Morgan warned this is a departure from current practice: "A a lot of districts, the school committees, only appoint the superintendent, school business administrator, and special education administrator, and school physician," he said, and noted that appointing nurses or an assistant superintendent would be a change for North Middlesex.
The committee decided to mark BBA for further review rather than rush it through the first-reading package. Lisa Martin asked Robin to flag the policy and recommended soliciting examples from other districts via the listserv so the subcommittee can compare how regional districts handle appointments before any adoption.
