GOOD EVENING EVERYONE. I'D LIKE TO CALL THIS PRE MEETING OF THE CARROLLTON-FARMERS BRANCH ISD BOARD OF TRUSTEES TO ORDER AT 6 P.M. ON MARCH THE 6TH. THE AGENDA FOR THE REGULAR BOARD MEETING SCHEDULED FOR 7 P.M. TONIGHT. FOR THE RECORD. BOARD MEMBERS PRESENT ARE TARA RYBARCZYK, CAROLYN BENAVIDES, KIM BRADY, ILIANA GARZA ROJAS. WE HAVE SANDRA HATFIELD, WE HAVE MARJORIE BARNES, AND I'M RANDY SHACKMAN. WE DO CONSTITUTE A QUORUM AND WILL CONDUCT BUSINESS ACCORDINGLY. NEXT ITEM ON OUR AGENDA IS AUDIENCE FOR GUESTS. NO ONE SIGNED UP FOR AUDIENCE FOR GUESTS FOR THIS PARTICULAR MEETING. SO WE WILL DISPENSE WITH THAT AND WE WILL MOVE ON.
[3. Administrative Reports]
DOCTOR ELDRIDGE, ARE THERE ANY REPORTS BY ADMINISTRATION? SO WE HAVE TWO ITEMS FROM OUR CONSENT AGENDA AND ITEM FIVE J AND ITEM FIVE K CONCERNING UPDATES TO OUR POLICIES. TARA. ARE YOU ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT THE POLICIES? OH, I CAN YEAH. OKAY. WE HAD ON BEHALF OF THE GOVERNANCE. SORRY.ON BEHALF OF THE GOVERNANCE SUBCOMMITTEE, WE HAVE BDA LOCAL. THAT WAS AT THE REQUEST OF OTHER BOARD MEMBERS, WHICH OUTLINES THE ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES OF BOARD OFFICERS. OUR OTHER POLICY. CASSANDRA, I'M GOING TO LET YOU ADDRESS THAT ONE THAT YOU LED THAT ONE. THE OTHER POLICY FOR CONSIDERATION IS EFA LOCAL, WHICH IS THE POLICY FOR INSTRUCTIONAL RESOURCES, LIBRARY MATERIALS, AND THE PURPOSE OF THE UPDATES TO THAT POLICY IS TO ALIGN IT TO AFB LOCAL, SO THAT WE HAVE ALIGNMENT BETWEEN AFB AND AF. A ON THE TIMELINE FOR CONCERNS FROM CITIZENS. THAT'S ALL I HAVE. OKAY. THE ONLY QUESTION I HAVE, AND I READ THROUGH THE VARIOUS PIECES, THE ITEM FIVE K, THE EFA LOCAL. CERTAINLY THE IT MAKES SENSE TO HAVE THOSE TWO POLICIES COORDINATED. FIVE J IS THERE ANY THOUGHT TO WHY WE'RE PUTTING IT IN BOARD POLICY, AS OPPOSED TO THE BOARD OPERATING PROCEDURE? YOU SAID FOR BDA THE RIGHT ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES. WE DID TALK ABOUT THAT. AND THERE WAS ALREADY A LOCAL POLICY THAT HAD OFFICER RESPONSIBILITIES, AND I REALLY JUST DIDN'T WANT IT DUPLICATED IN TWO PLACES. IT JUST MAKES IT ADMINISTRATIVELY.
I GUESS DIFFICULT. OR YOU HAVE TO REMEMBER TO UPDATE BOARD OPERATING PROCEDURES AS WELL AS POLICY IF WE CHANGE THAT. SO WE WENT WITH POLICY. OKAY. ALL RIGHT. BOARD MEMBERS, ANY OTHER QUESTIONS ABOUT ANY OF THAT. AND THANK YOU TO THE GOVERNANCE COMMITTEE FOR WORKING DILIGENTLY ON YOUR VARIOUS PROJECTS. NEXT UP IS BRIEFING SESSION WITH STAFF REGARDING POSTED AGENDA
