Board Committee Principles
Board Approved 18 Mar 2014 Last Reviewed 14 Sep 2016
Board committees are recommending bodies assigned to fulfill board tasks.
- Board committees may not speak or act for the Board except when formally given such authority for specific and time-limited
purposes. Expectations and authority will be carefully stated in order to prevent conflict with authority delegated to the Director. - Board committees cannot exercise authority over staff.
- Board committees will not be used to monitor organizational performance.
- Board committees are composed of multiple stakeholders.
This policy applies to any group that is formed by Board action, whether or not it is called a committee and regardless of whether the group includes Board members. It does not apply to committees formed under the authority of the Director.
Policy Development Policy
Board Approved: 9 Sep 2015
The policy committee will recommend adoption of new policies or amendment of existing policies to the Dixie Montessori Academy Board of Directors. New or amended policies shall be adopted and implemented only by a majority vote of a quorum of Board members present when such action has been scheduled on the agenda of a regular or special meeting.
