The Policy Committee serves as an advisory resource to the CCSD Board of Directors on matters of operational and governance policy. The purpose of the Committee is to review existing operational and governance policies, focusing on the CCSD Board Policy Handbook, and to recommend new policies and changes to existing policies to the Board of Directors. At its discretion, the Board may assign other policy work to the Committee.

Apart from their normal function and as part of this advisory resource, Committee members have no individual authority and may not represent the Committee or the CCSD in any policy, act or expenditure. The Committee maintains collaborative working relationships with the public, other standing committees and the CCSD Board of Directors. The Committee supports other standing committees’ policy review needs.

The Policy Standing Committee members are Donn Howell, Gordon Heinrichs, John Nixon, Ted Key, Claudia Harmon Worthen and Leslie Richards.
