Leander ISD agenda lists proposed revisions to ethics, planning and facilities-use policies
Summary
General Counsel Shawn Swisher presented proposed local revisions to policies BBF (ethics), BQ/BQA/BQB (planning and decision-making), and GKD (nonschool use of facilities). The packet explains changes and recommends Board adoption as presented by the Board Policy Review Committee.
Shawn Swisher, J.D., General Counsel, submitted recommended local revisions to policies BBF, BQ, BQA, BQB, and GKD for Board consideration. The agenda packet states: "Administration recommends the Board adopt Local Policies BBF, BQ, BQA, BQB, and GKD as presented." The packet includes the full BBF ethics language and detailed descriptions of planning and committee composition in BQ/BQA/BQB and an updated GKD facilities-use framework adopted May 9, 2024.
The BBF text in the packet enumerates the district’s ethical principles for Board members (honesty, integrity, promise-keeping, loyalty, concern for others, law-abidance, respect, fairness, pursuit of excellence, accountability). The planning policies (BQ/BQA/BQB) specify district improvement planning roles, Districtwide Educational Improvement Council membership and selection procedures, and campus site-based planning committees. GKD clarifies classification of user groups, approval process, fee exemptions, insurance and indemnity requirements, advertising restrictions and limits on long-term use. The materials presented are the administration’s recommended language; the packet does not include a recorded vote.
