The Clayton County Board of Education will meet this evening, Monday, June 13 at the School Administration Complex boardroom, 1058 Fifth Avenue, Jonesboro.
At 5 p.m., the board will hold a special recognition for members of the Clayton County Legislative Delegation, followed by an executive session at 5:30 p.m and the meeting itself at 6 p.m.
On the agenda is a proposed governance agreement on “norms and protocols,” which includes items like:
- Follow the Code of Ethics and disclose any conflicts of interest
- Not micromanage the superintendent in the day-to-day operations of the district
- Follow the chain of command and instruct and encourage others to do so when necessary
- Never surprise the superintendent in a board meeting
- Establish the superintendent’s annual performance goals jointly with the superintendent in alignment with the strategic plan and provide feedback to the superintendent at least bi-annually via formative and summative evaluation procedures
- Board members wishing to visit schools will make arrangements with the superintendent at least 24 hours in advance and state their purpose for the visit, unless they are invited directly by the school administration or district
- Issues and concerns received by the Board or individual members will be referred to the superintendent
- The board will educate the public about the chain of command and instruct them to follow it when approached with requests about day-to-day and operational issues
- When all nine board members receive emails from constituents, the board chair will reply to all, include the superintendent on the thread, and inform the constituent that the superintendent will respond to the inquiry/request. If the superintendent and board are all copied on a constituent’s email, then the superintendent will reply all in his/her response
- The superintendent is the only employee that reports directly to the Board of Education
