Saint Helena Unified board conducts goals study session with outside consultant
Summary
At a May 29 study session, the Saint Helena Unified Governing Board and Executive Cabinet worked with consultant Gary Rutherford in an exercise to identify district strengths, progress and needs that will inform future goals and priorities.
The Saint Helena Unified Governing Board met in a study session on May 29, 2025, opening at 2:03 PM. President Laura Symon presided and the board and Executive Cabinet participated in a facilitated goals-setting activity led by Education Support Services consultant Gary Rutherford.
Board members and cabinet staff used the session to identify the district's strengths, recent progress and areas of need to inform the district's goal-setting process. The meeting was described in the agenda as a study session and did not record any formal votes on policy during the goals discussion. Four trustees were present (Jeannie Kerr, Laura Symon, Shawn Moura and Jeanmarie Wolf); Trustee Lisa Pelosi was listed as absent.
The session ran alongside routine procedural business: the board approved the meeting agenda at the start of the session and adjourned at 3:58 PM. The activity was framed as an internal planning step intended to guide later decisions about district priorities and metrics, rather than as a decision that imposed new policy or budget changes.
