Board member proposes expansion, standing comments and procedural changes; trustees table pending superintendent transition
Summary
Board member Katie Bruner proposed expanding the Board from five to seven members with two at-large seats, adding standing agenda time for member comments, tracking attendance with sign-in sheets, and a verbal roll call; she suggested tabling action until a new superintendent is in place.
Board member Katie Bruner presented several governance proposals at the April 16 meeting and recommended tabling formal action until a new superintendent is seated.
Bruner proposed increasing the Board of Directors from five to seven members by adding two at-large positions, suggesting the district of KCSD's size would be better served by a seven-member board. She also asked the board to add standing agenda time for board-member comments to highlight positive developments and allow follow-up questions outside other agenda business.
Bruner recommended tracking meeting attendance with a sign-in sheet and instituting a verbal roll call to formalize quorum. She said these proposals should be considered after superintendent selection; trustees did not vote on the measures at the meeting.
Separately, Bruner proposed a collaborative 'thought exchange' on district consolidation and resource sharing rather than framing the issue as a merger; Marc Staunton and others reported on a recent KCSD/KCEA quarterly meeting and said teacher input had been heard.
