Board adopts resolution confirming sufficiency of textbooks and instructional materials
Summary
In an annual hearing with no public comment, the board adopted the superintendent's resolution confirming sufficiency of textbooks and instructional materials for county programs (JCCS).
The Santa Barbara County Board of Education opened and closed a public hearing on textbook and instructional materials compliance with no public speakers in either location. Staff clarified the statutory notice process and the sufficiency standard.
After staff confirmed that the required public notice procedures were followed and that the hearing applies to county programs (JCCS) rather than district-adopted materials, the board moved to adopt the superintendent's recommended resolution confirming sufficiency of instructional materials and voted by roll call in favor. "This is the specific hearing that's required," staff said when describing the annual compliance requirement.
The adoption is an annual, statutory step to ensure each student has access to at least one adopted textbook or instructional material per subject; trustees recorded unanimous support in the roll-call vote.
