The cited proposed revisions involve two (2) items regarding School Board Policy #7.71 and the Professional Services Selection Committee (PSSC).  Item #1 pertains the membership of the committee; Item #2 pertains to the location criteria utilized in the policy.

MEMBERSHIP:  The revisions to restructure the PSSC are being proposed for the following reasons:  [1] to reflect the current organizational structure of the District, including new and/or elminated positions/titles and [2] allow more flexibility in scheduling the required meetings.  Regarding Item [2] above:  By increasing the number of individuals sharing specified seat(s) on the PSSC, this will allow for greater flexibility in scheduling a full committee for the required meetings.  Although the policy states that a quorum constitutes five (5) members, is the Board's desire to have a full committee of all eight (8) members in attendance whenever possible. 

LOCATION:  The revisions to address the location issue are being proposed in order to provide clarification and a definition of the location criteria.  Please see sections 3.1 and 3.2 of the policy for the proposed new language.  Additional clarification language is being proposed to be included on Appendix F - the Location Rating Table.

Note:  The policy itself, with proposed revisions cited, is Attachment "A" of this Board item.  Attachment "B" is an overview of the rationale regarding the proposed revisions to the committee membership.
