The board considered a challenge to The Four Agreements, a supplemental ninth-grade text approved in April 2024 as representing multicultural and diverse authors.

District staff reviewed the complaint, determined the book met board policy and Education Code standards for supplemental materials, and advised the board to keep the book on the supplemental reading list. The complaint had argued for removal on constitutional grounds; the districts review concluded the book complied with review criteria.

After brief remarks and two public speakers who had registered but were not present, a trustee motioned to retain the book on the supplemental list (category 3). The motion passed by roll call with five yes votes and one no (Trustee McDougall). No immediate change to curricular lists was ordered; the decision was recorded in the public meeting minutes.

The board also discussed procedural follow-up for AR 1312.1 (complaints concerning district employees) and deferred action on some policy edits to allow more time for stakeholder review.
