Board accepts donations and approves first reading and revisions to several policies, including immigration‑enforcement response
Summary
Cloverdale Unified trustees accepted a batch of small, local donations for schools and completed the first reading of a new policy/administrative regulation in response to AB 4 95 (immigration‑enforcement). Trustees also approved revisions to BP/AR 5125 (student records) and BP/AR 5125.1 (directory information). Several items will return for a second reading as required.
The Cloverdale Unified Board of Trustees approved routine consent actions accepting donated gift cards, prom and library items, and other small contributions, and it took initial policy actions on several board policies.
Donations accepted: Under item P1 the board accepted donations from multiple local donors, including a $100 Barnes & Noble gift card (anonymous donor), $60 from PG&E's Blackbaud Giving Fund to Jefferson, a $100 prom donation from Dutcher Creek Crossing Winery, a $200 donation from Cloverdale Ace Hardware for prom, $500 from Reusser for prom, several small gift cards from Starbucks and Moe's Eagle's Nest, admission and ride tickets from the Cloverdale Citrus Fair, and 14 books donated to the CHS library by the Care Foundation. Trustee Garrison moved to accept the donations and Trustee Candelaria Ort seconded; the chair recorded the motion and trustees voted in the affirmative with no oppositions recorded.
Policy readings and revisions: Under item P4 trustees conducted the first reading of a new board policy and administrative regulation in response to "AB 4 95" (transcript reference). Staff said the language is CSBA‑recommended and largely mirrors a resolution the district previously adopted; Trustee Candelaria Ort moved to accept the first reading and Trustee Zykiewicz seconded. The board approved the first reading and staff said the item will return for a second reading as required by policy.
The board also reviewed and approved revisions to BP/AR 5125 (student records) and BP/AR 5125.1 (release of directory information and accompanying exhibit). Staff noted the packet showed the redlined changes recommended by the California School Boards Association (CSBA); trustees moved and seconded the motions and the chair recorded affirmative votes with no oppositions.
Representative quote:
"Most of what's in here ... differentiates between a valid subpoena compared to just somebody asking for it," a staff presenter said while explaining the AR language related to student records and information release.
What to watch: The immigration‑enforcement policy (item P4) will return for a required second reading at a future meeting. Trustees listed upcoming meetings on March 11, April 8 and May 13.
