Board Member Rogers referenced prior retreat discussions to question delaying committee appointments, while Board Member Tabb sought input from Superintendent Lewis, who explained that timely formation of the new finance, facilities, and academics committees was needed to prepare agendas and proactively support the district’s work in the coming year.

Vice Chair Cason expressed support for moving ahead with committee appointments as former operations and academics committees were being replaced, while Chair Harrell Goff clarified the pending motion on the agenda and proposed following the superintendent’s recommendation to appoint finance, facilities, and academics committees now and table the remaining appointments until the August work session.
