Schedule item to be thrashed out by the board (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

timetable

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'schedule' is the definition.
(I know that timetable is a type of schedule)

'item to be thrashed out by the board' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
an anagram of 'item' is 'time' which is within the answer.
'the' could be 't' (the is pronounced as a 't' sound in some dialects) and 't' is present in the answer.
The remaining letters 'able' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for timetable that I've seen before include "Syllabus" , "Programme" , "Schedule of events" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
