At the first meeting of the newly created Senate Oversight
Committee on April 8, 1992, the members of the Oversight Committee
established the following guidelines as to what its responsibilities
should be.
The Senate Oversight Committee will:
- Research all previous actions of the LHS Senate since its
inception.
- Compile a list of all bills and resolutions passed by the
Senate since its inception.
- Evaluate all passed bills as to their current viability and
relevance.
- Recommend to the full Senate any passed bills that the
committee believes should be rescinded or amended because they are
either no longer operable, relevant or desired.
- Bring to the attention of the high school administration any
passed bulls that are not being enforced adequately.
When necessary, the committee will work with the administration in
developing strategies for implementing and enforcing bills.
However, the committee does recognize that enforcement of school
policies is primarily the responsibility of the high school
administration.
- Periodically remind the administration when certain passed
bills that are time related need to be called to the attention of
other members of the high school community, or need to be
enforced.
- Ask for appropriate action by the Lexington School Committee
when the Senate has determined that the administration is not
enforcing a passed bill after the administration has been reminded
of its duty and been given a reasonable amount of time in which to
comply.
