Review the current curriculum development process and instructional requirements for students including goals, objectives, and special instructional materials for each grade level. 

Consensus: Staff will provide the Board with answers to the following questions, which the Public Engagement Committee will use to consider the issue and make a recommendation to the Board:

• How much staff time would it take to revise the index for posting, and publicize and continuously update the index?
• What would be the additional costs for posting all FOIA responses on the website?
• What would be the impact of posting the responses on volume of requests for information received by Board members and staff?
• Other municipalities post their FOIA responses. Has this created a significant increase in workload for staff in those municipalities?
• What would be the impact on the media if they were to receive their FOIA responses at the same time as the public?
• What does BOS do with FOIA requests and responses?  Are the responses posted?
• Would this impact our website’s compliance with ADA?
• Could snippets of the responses be found on google and then taken out of context?  Has this happened in the other municipalities?
• How does this fit with everything else we are asking staff to do on website?
• Provide a basic plan for implementation (should the responses be indexed by topic or date? should staff go back several years to update the index or start now and go forward?) 
• What are ramifications of posting requesters identity (name and email address at a minimum).
