Summary

Board member Derek led a review of OSBA/COSA-recommended standards and proposed a timeline that aims for finalized standards and a vote in the coming months; members favored emphasizing a small set of priorities this year.

Board member Derek opened the superintendent-evaluation discussion with a high-level explanation of purpose and timeline, citing OSBA and COSA materials as framing documents. He urged the board to be deliberate about choosing achievable standards and to give clear guidance that will allow the interim superintendent to focus. "When superintendents and school boards work effectively together over the long term, their schools and students do better," Derek said while summarizing the OSBA/COSA rationale.

Members discussed keeping all eight standards available but highlighting three priorities for the coming year or combining overlapping standards (for example, merging elements of inclusive culture with instruction-focused items to make student outcomes more explicit). The board agreed to refine standards and return with a final proposal for a vote at a later meeting.
