Student Outcomes Focused Governance
Deliverable: Unity & Trust Adopt an updated governance handbook.
Student Outcomes do not change until adult behaviors change. As part of the SOFG model, the Board is currently implementing items under the Communication & Trust, and Unity & Trust deliv- erables. Deliverable: Communication & Trust Redesign the Board ’ s meeting agenda and calendar to be student outcomes focused. • Approximately 50% or more of Board-authorized public meeting time will focus on student outcomes, including effective and disciplined pro- gress monitoring conversations
• This can lead to a decrease in the length of meetings due to the student outcomes focus mindset. • You may start to notice differ- ent types of questions being asked by Board members dur- ing meetings. Board members will begin focusing on more strategic questions and less technical and tactical questions. • Redesigning the Board meeting agendas will allow clear com- munication of information to Board members and the com- munity, in turn building trust in the school district.
• The Board is working to update its current governance handbook to align with the SOFG model. • The governance handbook will provide clear expectations, vi- sion, and direction for the Board, working towards a student out- comes focused school district. • Updating the handbook will help the Board build unity and trust with each other and clear expec- tations.
