JUNE BOARD MEETING (TONIGHT)Sharing some information sent in via email:
Agenda for the board meeting is uploaded on CSD website .. Besides big ticket items like charter school application.. ( Did not pass ) .... check out these items of interest: _______________________________________________
*District Policies up (again) for potential deletion:
13.1 **RESOLUTION NO. 6.196-19** -
RESOLVED** that the Board approve the first read for proposed deletion* of the following policies:
a. Policy CA/CAA - Administrative Goals and Objectives
b. Policy KC - Community Involvement in Decision Making****Wasn't there strong pushback at a board meeting from the audience about deleting these? isn't this in opposition to Vision & Values or holding our Admin accountable?**

**Item #9:** allowing him to work remotely in July and get 40 vacation days a year. * Compared to OSBA's superintendent boilerplate - it should be 25 days a year.
* Are we giving more vacation than normal? We already pay higher than the state average also for this position and for the teachers. *
***Item #3: **SUPERINTENDENT AND BOARD RESPONSIBILITIES. The SUPERINTENDENT shall be the chief executive officer of the district. As such, the SUPERINTENDENT shall have the primary responsibility for execution of Board policy, whereas the Board shall retain the primary responsibility for formulating and adopting said policy. The parties agree, individually and collectively, not to interfere with nor usurp the primary responsibility of the other party. The members of the Board and the SUPERINTENDENT further agree to refer promptly all major criticisms, complaints and suggestions called to their attention to the SUPERINTENDENT if appropriate to the Board for study and recommendation by the SUPERINTENDENT. *
* It seems clear that one of the main duties of the school board is to set district policy, not Trani. It does not seem right that the superintendent and district clerk (Robyn) be the ones uploading recommended policies for deletion like the 2 above. This is board work and should be carried out by assigned board members (a sub committee?), not employees.
**Item #11 **outlines termination procedures. (Fascinating) Here is TSPC's standards for Oregon Educators-- Randi's contract refers to it as the guide for a board initiating discipline and/or terminating Randi's contract:
https://www.oregon.gov/tspc/Pages/Jan_Rules/Division_20.aspx*What's interesting here is the part regarding administrators demonstrating skill in: HUMAN RELATIONS AND COMMUNICATIONS 584-020-0030 (3) The competent administrator demonstrates:(a) Skill in helping students, staff, parents, and other patrons to learn about the school, the district and its program;(b) Skills in communicating district and school goals to staff and the public;(c) Willingness to be flexible in cooperatively working with others; and(d) Skill in reconciling conflict.Stat.
