Board weighs possible membership in new county school boards association (ACCBE)
Summary
Board Member Beverly Gerard proposed the San Mateo County Board consider joining the newly formed Association of California County Boards of Education (ACCBE); members asked staff to gather more information and a resolution is planned for the December agenda.
Board Member Beverly Gerard presented information about the Association of California County Boards of Education and proposed the Board adopt a resolution to join ACCBE as a charter board. Gerard said ACCBE already lists member counties and has an independent website offering services she believes are useful to county offices.
Members asked questions about overlap with the California School Boards Association and potential additional fees. Board Member Susan Alvaro asked how joining would affect CSBA membership and costs; Board Member Camacho urged the association emphasize student support rather than adult-focused services. The Board agreed to prepare a resolution for the Dec. 18 agenda and to gather more information in the interim.
