• Role of Shared Governance in Creating and Reviewing Board Policies
Ginny Riegel addressed the committee about the role of the committee as spelled out in the document distributed by the Board President in January:
- Establishing and implementing framework for ongoing review, updating, and creation of new Board Policies
- Setting yearly calendar for selective review of Board Policies to ensure that they are being followed by the District
Members of the College Advisory Council spoke advocating for the chance to look at potential Board policy changes to make sure they do not affect any of the college constituencies. The Committee decided that the Board has the right to change policies that only affect internal Board operations without consulting the College Advisory Council. Rationale includes the idea that these policies do not affect the college constituencies and that the college constituencies do have at least two public opportunities (at the two readings necessary for any policy change) to give input on the policies.
The committee asked Riegel for her recommended policy changes, which will be distributed to us and discussed at a committee meeting in September.
