Leander ISD administration asks trustees to adopt updates to Policy BBE(LOCAL) on board authority and campus visits
Summary
Administration presented revisions to Policy BBE(LOCAL) to incorporate Board Operating Procedures on board member campus visits and information access; administration recommended adoption, and provided a sample motion for the trustees.
Administration recommended that the Board adopt revisions to Policy BBE(LOCAL) that incorporate elements of the Board Operating Procedures governing board members’ access to district records and visits to campuses or district facilities. Shawn Swisher, J.D., General Counsel, is listed as the administrator responsible for the item and the packet includes a sample motion: “I move that the Board adopt Policy BBE(LOCAL), as presented.”
The proposed text clarifies that individual trustees do not have authority to commit the Board, that requests for confidential records must go through the superintendent, and that any visits during the school day must be coordinated through the Superintendent’s Office and will not be permitted if they interfere with instruction. Administration recommended adoption at the Aug. 22 meeting; the agenda materials note the revisions reflect direction the Board provided at its May 23, 2024 meeting.
