Items listed under the Consent Calendar are considered to be routine and are acted on by the Board of Trustees in one motion. There is no discussion of these items before the board vote unless a member of the board, staff, or public requests specific items be discussed and/or removed from the Consent Calendar. It is understood that the administration recommends approval on all consent Items. Each item on the Consent Calendar approved by the board shall be deemed to have been considered in full and adopted as recommended. Consent Voting A consent agenda is a group of routine or procedural items for which there is general consensus among members of the governing body. Generally, a vote is taken on the entire package without discussion to help the governing body conduct its business more efficiently. Moderators can take consent votes with either the manual or online voting method (see the related documents Recording Manual Votes and Recording Online Votes). A single vote is recorded for all items with a type of Action (Consent) regardless of whether the items are organized together or distributed throughout the agenda. In accordance with standard parliamentary procedure, moderators can only take one consent vote during a meeting. When saving the consent vote, moderators will be prompted to confirm voting for all items with the Action (Consent) type in a message window that appears.

Items listed under the Consent Calendar are considered to be routine and are acted on by the Board of Trustees in one motion. There is no discussion of these items before the board vote unless a member of the board, staff, or public requests specific items be discussed and/or removed from the Consent Calendar. It is understood that the administration recommends approval on all consent Items. Each item on the Consent Calendar approved by the board shall be deemed to have been considered in full and adopted as recommended. Consent Voting A consent agenda is a group of routine or procedural items for which there is general consensus among members of the governing body. Generally, a vote is taken on the entire package without discussion to help the governing body conduct its business more efficiently. Moderators can take consent votes with either the manual or online voting method (see the related documents Recording Manual Votes and Recording Online Votes). A single vote is recorded for all items with a type of Action (Consent) regardless of whether the items are organized together or distributed throughout the agenda. In accordance with standard parliamentary procedure, moderators can only take one consent vote during a meeting. When saving the consent vote, moderators will be prompted to confirm voting for all items with the Action (Consent) type in a message window that appears.

Receive results of Board Self-Assessment

WSSDA’s online Board Self-Assessment survey is an easy-to-use tool that helps school boards assess and strengthen their performance in governing for improved student learning. Research-based and scientifically validated, the survey is based on the Washington School Board Standards. The self-assessment is freely available to school boards in Washington state.

 

The Directors will receive the results of the self-assessment.  The Board will analyze this information at a future study session to strengthen their practise.
