Trustees adopt updated governance handbook, add Legislative Representative role
Summary
The Board adopted a revised governance handbook with edits to officer roles (adding a Legislative Representative and removing Secretary), vacancy procedures and oversight language to shift toward a balanced governance model.
Superintendent Frankie Alvarado and trustees reviewed a governance handbook draft intended to move Board practice toward oversight rather than day-to-day management. The draft emphasizes the Board's role at an "oversight" level rather than operational management.
Trustees agreed to specific edits: eliminate the Secretary officer, add a Legislative Representative position with a two-year term, require appointees to reside in the vacant district or advertise countywide if no applicants are received, and include bylaws and oath templates. Trustee Erinn Miller moved to adopt the handbook with the outlined revisions; the motion passed 7-0.
Why it matters: The handbook sets board practices, clarifies officer duties, and provides procedural language for vacancies and oversight that will guide trustee conduct and training going forward.
