HUTCHINSON, Kan. — The USD 308 Board of Education approved proposed changes to its governance model to the Kansas Association of School Boards format during its regular meeting Monday.
At Monday’s meeting, the USD 308 Board of Education approved the proposal to change their governance model to follow that of Kansas Association of School Boards, while incorporating aspects of Coherent Governance, and will discuss further details during a study session at a later meeting.
The district changed to the Coherent Governance model under the leadership of Dr. David Flowers as a way of evaluating how the district was doing in a variety of areas. Under that model, the board examined all academic areas in a public meeting at some point during the year, setting goals for district staff.
Most of the business side of meetings, once discussed and approved by the board, was conducted during the superintendent’s consent agenda.
Along with other board business, the Board of Education and superintendent Mike Folks thanked retiring assistant superintendent and director of human resources, Rick Kraus, and public information officer, Ray Hemman. Kraus began his career with USD 308 in August of 1994 and Hemman has been with the district since July of 1998.
