Helen Rossy presented CSBA policy updates; Suzanne Murphy reviewed two updated adult-education job descriptions; Superintendent Rossi proposed shifting Nov. and May meeting dates to avoid holidays pending bylaw review.

Helen Rossy presented quarterly policy updates from the California School Boards Association (CSBA) for information and said she will meet with the district policy team before returning items for action. Rossy noted the packet includes old and new text and flags whether updates are mandated or optional.

Board members discussed a specific potential conflict between a CSBA-referenced 200-word limit for candidate statements and the county's 250-word local limit; staff will review and bring recommended language to the policy team.

Suzanne Murphy presented two updated part-time certificated job descriptions for Martinez Adult Education: a job developer to support career-technical education and employer connections (including ESL supports) and a HiSET/GED test-prep teacher role updated to reflect online responsibilities. Murphy said both positions will be placed on the recently approved hourly salary schedule.

Superintendent Rossi reviewed proposed adjustments to the board calendar for November 2024 and May 2025 to avoid holidays and noted potential bylaw constraints about reducing the number of meetings; staff will bring options back to the board for direction.
