SUMMARY:
On September 3, 2025, the Board held a Special Board Meeting to develop goals and strategies around areas needing the Board’s focus, engagement and monitoring in Fiscal Year 2025-2026 (FY26).
During the Special Board Meeting, the Board participated in a facilitated discussion and received and discussed staff recommendations for the FY26 Board Work Plan. After providing comments and feedback, the Board directed the Board Policy and Monitoring Committee (BPMC) to review the input provided and develop a draft FY26 Board Work Plan, in collaboration with staff, for Board review and approval.
The BPMC met on October 7, 2025, to review Board feedback and staff recommended changes and provide any additional input on the draft FY26 Board Work Plan. With this item, the BPMC presents the FY26 Board Work Plan for review and approval by the Board.
