Board members approved a package of board‑policy updates but removed one administrative regulation requested by CSBA that would have required parents to submit specified information when seeking an opt‑out for instruction based on religious beliefs. Trustee (Speaker 1) said the board would rework that portion and return it for an additional reading.

The board approved routine consent items, including personnel hires and classified‑staff announcements, and recognized new hires: bus driver Chastity Stancovic, instructional aide Dana Cisneros, and special education aide Elizabeth Schlanger.

On labor/compensation, the board approved a memorandum of understanding (MOU) intended to clarify pay rates and prep‑time for after‑school and extra‑duty assignments. District staff said the MOU creates uniform rates across sites where previously rates varied and provides an interim mechanism (MOU) to test arrangements before converting items to contract language.

Votes: the policy package (with AR held) passed on a motion and voice vote; the MOU passed on a subsequent voice vote. The meeting record shows no opposing votes on these items.

Ending: Staff will return the held administrative regulation for further review and the board asked staff to share conference/session schedules for interested trustees.
