Minutes
In addition to the stated topics, Mr. Williams said the board and administration will be meeting in subcommittees to address various aspects of district operation, clarify who is doing which tasks, and allow the board better oversight and understanding of operations. Dr. McBride said she recognizes the frustration of not knowing when or if the district is ready to move on, but these things take time to put together before they are ready to be shared out.
Minutes
Mr. Williams said an item to reduce the number of hours required to earn a community service diploma seal from 120 to 60 appeared on a previous board agenda, but was not approved. He clarified that the board approved the 2023-2024 Columbian Curriculum Guide which stated a 60 hour requirement, so no further board action is needed to effect the reduction. Dr. McBride noted a current Columbian senior had reached out via email to the board to advocate for the reduction. Mr. Williams said he had also been contacted by a student with the same request.
Minutes
Mr. Williams informed the board and administration of the rules he put in place to prevent last-minute changes to the board agenda, noting the confusion those changes have created in the past. He noted that those would be the rules so long as he is board president and future holders of the office can create agenda rules as they deem appropriate.

_____ a. consider the appointment___, employment___, dismissal___, discipline___, promotion___, demotion___, or compensation_____ of a public employee(s) or official(s)___, or consider the investigations of charges or complaints against a public employee(s)___, official(s), licensee(s) or "regulated individual(s)"___; unless the person(s) being investigated of charges or complaints requests a public hearing;
