1825 – Addressing NWESD 189 Board Director Violation
The NWESD 189 Board and each of its directors are committed to faithful compliance with the law, provisions of the Board’s policies, and exercising good judgment.
Policy Statement
The Board recognizes that failure to deal with deliberate or continuing violations of the law, Board policies, or lapses in good judgment by its board members risks the loss of community confidence and damages the Board’s ability to govern effectively. Therefore, in the event of a Board member’s willful and/or continuing violation of law, policy, or judgment the Board will address the issue through the following process, which is intended to escalate only as necessary:
- Conversation in a private setting between the offending Board Director and the Board Chair or another individual Board Director, identified by the Board;
- Discussion in a properly convened executive session between the offending Board Director and the full Board;
- Possible removal of the offending Board Director from any leadership or committee positions to which the offending Board Director has been appointed or elected to by the Board;
- Censure of the offending Board Director by adopting a resolution in an open meeting as a means of separating the Board’s focus and intent from those of the offending Board Director.
