Trustees take first reading of CSBA policy updates; items to return Oct. 2
Summary
The board received a first reading of a second batch of California School Boards Association (CSBA) policy updates and directed staff to return the policies on the consent calendar at the Oct. 2 meeting for formal approval.
At the Sept. 18 meeting the Board of Trustees received a first reading of CSBA-recommended policy updates described by the superintendent as the second portion of an ongoing policy-update cycle. Dr. Adamson introduced the item as "part 2 of all of the policies," saying the majority were required changes received from CSBA. The superintendent asked trustees to flag any policies they wanted pulled for discussion; none were pulled. The superintendent and the policy committee trustees indicated this is the first reading and that the policies will be returned on the consent calendar at the Oct. 2 meeting for formal adoption if there are no changes. No votes on policy adoption were taken at the Sept. 18 session. The board also invited public comment on the item; none was offered. Background: the board earlier handled a separate batch of CSBA updates at a prior meeting and has been processing the remainder in this "part 2" installment. Trustee committee members who served on the policy committee were identified during the presentation as participants in the review process. The boardrecord lists the second reading and placement on consent for Oct. 2 as the next procedural step.
