Board schedules director contract discussion and considers Saturday planning workshop

A board member asked that the director's contract extension be added to the October regular meeting agenda and noted the legal requirement to provide 15 days' public notice before discussing the director's contract. The board agreed to place the contract discussion on next month's agenda with the required notice.

Separately, a board member proposed an optional Saturday morning workshop to lay out board goals and expectations and to consider board self-evaluation; the session would be public but voluntary and would not be a paid work session. Members discussed possible dates (an initial suggestion of Oct. 3 was later withdrawn because of conflicts) and asked the director's office to propose several Saturday options within the next four to six weeks.

Board members also confirmed upcoming meetings, including a TSBA district meeting, a planning session on Oct. 8 and a regular meeting on Oct. 22; they said the board would enter an executive session for safety and security topics at the end of the public meeting.
