Summary

Administration presented first‑reading updates to BP 4030, BP 4033 and a set of certificated/classified policies to align with Title IX changes and AB 5055 (Safety Act) protections against retaliation.

Dr. Hirsch presented three board policy revisions on first reading, explaining the updates align district policy with recent state and federal law changes, including Title IX and AB 5055.

Dr. Hirsch told the board these are typical CSBA‑style revisions tied to changes in law and that the revisions explicitly state Title IX implications for nondiscrimination and lactation accommodations. On the certificated/classified policy set he said the changes “fold in the new law from AB 5055… called the Safety Act,” and that the policies add protections against retaliation for staff acting in compliance with the law. Administration asked the board to return the items on a future consent agenda after legal review.
