After the exercises Mrs. <br /> Presser provided a definition of what operating protocols are and what they are <br /> not. It is important to adopt protocols to help members develop a better working <br /> relationship among themselves and between members and the Superintendent, to <br /> articulate and preserve what's going well, to increase the efficiency of committee <br /> meetings and to help the committee focus its energy and effort and work as a <br /> team. <br /> Discussion regarding the agenda items and how the meeting agendas were <br /> developed were discussed. The agenda is driven by the district goals and <br /> requirements by law, regulation and statute. <br /> The School Committee decided to develop a draft set of protocols and chose a <br /> date for the next workshop. It was decided that a half hour at the next workshop <br /> would be used to discuss and vote on the protocols before moving onto the next <br /> workshop. It was decided that the Committee will meet on September 26th at 8 <br /> a.m. <br /> III.
