[quote=Anonymous]This is ChatGPT's answer. Pretty much making sense to me:

Q: According to MCPS BOE handbook with link here: https://www.montgomeryschoolsmd.org/siteassets/district/boe/about/0162.22_2021_boe_handbook.pdf, what should BOE do when superintendent propose new programs?

A (Bolded sentences are what our BOE fails to do so far): Here’s what the MCPS Board of Education Handbook (2021 edition) says about how the Board should respond when the superintendent proposes new programs:

The superintendent may recommend new programs to the Board as part of the educational administration role.

In the “Regular Business Meetings” section, it states that Board-member proposals to establish [b]special programs requiring substantial staff time must be approved via the Board’s established procedure for special programs, and the superintendent shall be asked how much time staff would need to prepare a response. 
[/b]

New business items (including proposals for new programs) must follow the agenda/new business rules: an item placed under New Business must clear a motion and second, and unless time sensitive, will typically lie on the table until the next business meeting before a vote is taken.

The Board [b]should ensure that adequate advance materials are provided, especially for items requiring extensive study, so members have sufficient time to review before discussion or action. [/b]

In summary: when the superintendent proposes a new program, the Board should treat it as a new business item,[b] require staff to estimate resource/time implications, allow sufficient time for review[/b], and follow the Board’s procedural rules (motion, tabling if needed, scheduled for action) before adopting it.[/quote]
