S.-3 25-0400 Adoption by the Board of Education of Amendment, Board Bylaw 9130 - Board Committees suspending operations of two of the five Committees - Budget and Finance and Teaching and Learning - effective February 13, 2025 through June 30, 2025.
Please do not suspend the much needed Budget & Fiance Committee -- they are needed now more than ever! As stated in other comments, there is no good logical reason to do this.
Suspending Budget & Finance commitee when the district has a huge budget adjustment to make is a disgrace . This is an important arm of our districts democracy and allows our community to better understand our finances in more detail than is possible in the full board meetings.
I agree that the board needs to focus on the important impending work in front of it. But canceling committee meetings is not the best way. Committee meeting provide an additional opportunity for staff, directors, and community to learn, engage in conversation, and push work forward. Instead of canceling meetings, it seems that the school board needs to engage in additional meetings at this time.
