Superintendent Gee informed that he put a handout together to help keep everyone on track and hopefully streamline this discussion. He informed that most of the beginning information comes from the presentation given by Jayson Lloyd at the Board Training. He commented that Jayson’s training started out by defining the roles of the Board and Administration, where the Board works toward setting goals and objectives, and the Administration works towards developing the timelines, activities and tactics in order to meet those goal objectives. He commented that the Board needs to consider a few things, such as; what future condition they want to achieve, what will be seen if the goal is achieved, can the objectives be measured, and if they are wildly successful, what will the district look like in 3-5 years. He then reiterated that the Goals set the destination of the District and the Objectives are what it is going to look like, then it is up to the Administrative team to decide what that is going to happen as far as what activities and tactics are used to meet those Goals. He then commented that when he and Board Chair Hansen visited, there were four areas of focus they discussed, 3 of which came from Jayson Lloyd and the 4th came from their discussion. He informed that the four areas were as follows: Facilities, Finance, Academics, and Community Engagement. He informed that the handout he created also has some examples of different goals and objectives. He explained further. Board Chair Hansen asked the Board if they remember the training from Jayson outlining what the responsibilities of the Board are when setting goals. He commented that the Boards role is to basically set the high overview and then let Administration figure out how they want to meet those areas. He explained further.
