Board clarifies coordinator qualifications and how it will support members

Board members described the coordinator as a capacity-building position that would relieve the volunteer workload of board members and support future members who may not have the current board's institutional knowledge. One board member said the role is "really important" and argued that coordination and administrative support are necessary to ensure agendas and community communications are posted in advance.

Members raised a specific change to the job qualifications: under the bachelor's requirement they proposed replacing "Bachelor's degree from an accredited colleges or university in public administration" with "public administration or closely related field," noting no public colleges in the state confer a bachelor's in public administration. A board member also recommended preferring a master's degree in public administration or "closely related or equivalent experience." The chair recommended shifting language so the coordinator would "coordinate with the manager to the superintendent and board services" and asked the policy committee to draft the evaluation process; the board moved and approved item 3.3 with those edits.
