Response: Disagree
Score: -1

Response: Agree
Score: +1
The Board agrees that there are not specific written guidelines about how department heads should communicate with the grand jury (F2), but it does not agree that administration should write such guidelines (R2) because cooperation with the grand jury is already expected and modeled whenever we receive requests to which we can respond.
