Directors discuss revising Board Operating Agreement; possible removal of 1.5-hour school-visit limit
Summary
Directors debated proposed revisions to the Board Operating Agreement: Director Caballero proposed adding stronger respectful-meeting language and Director Williams questioned the prescriptive 1.5‑hour school-visit limit; the Board agreed to forward the discussed revisions for adoption at the next meeting.
Chair Kendell Ferguson introduced a proposed revision to the Board Operating Agreement (BOA) submitted by Director Michael Williams. Director Lilia Caballero proposed adding language to the 'Respectful Meetings' section to discourage interruptions and ensure equitable speaking time, while Director Williams expressed concern that the BOA's school-visit language — including a 1.5-hour time limit — is overly prescriptive and difficult to coordinate.
Directors discussed the purpose of school-visit parameters, practical challenges with the time limit, and the importance of minimizing disruption to staff. They agreed the revisions discussed at the work session would be brought forward for formal adoption at the next Board meeting.
