Description:  We will now open the meeting to public comment. We value the time and initiative members of the public take to share their thoughts with the board. Please note that speakers will have three minutes to express their thoughts. The board’s role during public comment is to listen; if there is follow-up necessary, we will direct our Superintendent to do so. Remember that we all model the way for our students, and we ask that everyone share their thoughts in a respectful way. Finally, the law prohibits us from hearing complaints against employees in a public meeting. If comments include a complaint about a specific person, please follow the complaint policy which can be found on the table next to the comment cards. If there is anyone in attendance at this time, who has filled out a public comment card and wishes to address the Board, please step forward and state your name and address.

Description:  In the November meeting, the Board requested that they investigate OSBA's self-evaluation tool to be used place of the survey that has been used for numerous past evaluations (conducted every two years). OSBA provides an online board self-evaluation tool free because as a benefit of membership.  The free report is only a summary of the board’s performance in five standards.  A detailed report that looks at 22 benchmarks and 69 key performance indicators is provided to boards in a facilitated conversation “workshop” with OSBA at the standard ½ day workshop fee ($475) plus associated travel expenses.

Members can learn more about this on the OSBA website by going to: http://www.osba.org/Resources/Article/Board_Operations/Board_Self_Evaluation.aspx.  In the second paragraph there are two links to additional research, which can be downloaded if that is desired. Sample reports have been included in the board packet as well.
