Board of Education Ad Hoc Committees

At the Board meeting on March 11, 2025, the Board of Education adopted short-term evaluation metrics. Given the recent leadership transitions, the purpose of these metrics is to continue the implementation of effective governance practices and implement new and improved systems/routines for engaging schools, staff, and the community.

On April 22, 2025, Board Leadership proposed initial recommendations for each metric, including three ad-hoc committees: board policy (metric 1a), progress monitoring (metric 1b), and public engagement (metric 2a). The purpose of each ad-hoc committee is to:

• Board Policy: Conduct a policy diet that categorizes existing Board policies and resolutions into three categories: within Board purview, within Superintendent purview, and essential to VVGG implementation
• Progress Monitoring: Articulate clear standards for effective progress monitoring, clear expectations for monitoring meetings, and recommends a process that ensures transparent feedback loops between the Board, staff, and Superintendent
• Public Engagement: Recommend an annual calendar of engagement between the entire Board and broader public

• Ad hoc committee meetings are subject to change.
• Meetings are not official until a formal agenda is posted. Meeting agendas are posted on BoardDocs.

• Meetings usually do not take place in the month of July.

  The priority for Fall 2025 is to conduct the ad-hoc committees on public engagement and progress monitoring, while the ad-hoc committee on board policy will begin in early 2026. Each committee will consist of three commissioners, have a defined scope and deliverables, and will ultimately make a recommendation to the entire Board.  The commissioner assignments for each ad-hoc committee are:

Advisory and oversight committees involve community members in the day-to-day matters and decisions of the school district. Citizens, parents, and students all play active roles in helping to shape policies of the Board of Education. View our advisory councils and committees, many of which advise the Board of Education.
