Brainstorming District Improvement

[Patrick Whipple]

Good afternoon,

At a recent BOE Meeting, a Member asked the following question:

 

"When do we get a chance to brainstorm ideas for making the district better?"

 

Given that this is the my first year as a BOE President, and only my second year as a BOE Member, I told the member I would look into how this is addressed at other schools. It is important to note that, to me, it seems this question is blurring the lines between governance and management. However, I would really appreciate any insight people may have in addressing this concern. Thank you in advance.

 

Sincerely,

Patrick Whipple

Our board does this during our summer retreat. We also work on district goals language during that meeting.

I would say during budget and/or goal setting periods but it has to be in conjunction with your Superintendent. You need a majority and discuss timelines and expectations. Do other things get removed or rescheduled for the new?
