Can community members engage at Trustee Meetings? Decision-making bodies benefit greatly from hearing public input and multiple perspectives. Community members can sign up to speak after the agenda has been posted– by calling the Board Office at (702) 799-1072 at least 3 hours before the scheduled meeting, or signing up in-person at the beginning of the meeting. Prior to each agenda item being voted on, speakers can share their perspective after the Board’s discussion and prior to the vote.

Trustees Participated in Balanced Governance Training
The Board of Trustees received a presentation and training on the principles of Balanced Governance, the governance style adopted by the Board in 2017 (Governance Style Policy, GP-2). This governance style influences the way trustees engage with the community, fellow trustees, and the superintendent. The training spoke to the consequences of poor board governance and also leveraged research and best practices related to board training models, effective governance standards, and actions individual board members can take to foster effective governance on the board.
Trustees will engage in an additional training in October, as well as participate in a board self- assessment. The training team will also complete a review of the board against national best practices, based on a review of previous Board meetings and the results of the self-assessment. This assessment will include metrics like the duration of board meetings, number of scheduled topics per meeting, and the amount of time spent discussing progress towards goals versus inquiries related to management.
