Governance

BOARD AGENDAS 

DECISION MAKING POLICY

Proper decision-making is an important part of the effective functioning of the school. The way in which decisions get made at IVA High says a great deal about what we value. At IVA High we value respect, room for disagreement, consideration of multiple perspectives, transparency and due-diligence. We reflect our mission to foster meaningful growth in the nine master virtues by incorporating these virtues into the decision making process. The board follows the Carver model of board-governance whereby the board establishes the ends and the staff determines the means to carry out these ends. The board stays out of the day-to-day operations and focuses on governance work at the scheduled meetings. In order to balance expediency, transparency and thoroughness we have developed the following policy to provide guidance and clarification in decision-making at IVA High.

ADDRESSING THE BOARD REGARDING ITEMS NOT ON THE AGENDA

If you request to speak about a matter of school district business not on the agenda, you will be invited to make your remarks during the “Public Testimony on Items Not Listed on Agenda” portion of the agenda. Limited discussion may take place on the part of the Board on an item which has not received public notice by being listed on the agenda. However, after receiving public testimony, the Board Chair or any member of the Board may recommend placing such item(s) on the agenda of a future meeting or refer the item(s) to staff for a report.

WHEN YOU ARE RECOGNIZED TO SPEAK

No person shall orally present or discuss, at any meeting of the Board, charges or complaints against an individual employee. Remarks by any person addressing the Board which reflect adversely upon the political, religious, racial or economic views, character, or motives of any person are out of order.
