Board to consider updates to BP/AR 3320 (claims against district) to reflect recent statutory changes
Summary
Legal counsel recommended revising Board Policy 3320 and deleting AR 3320 to align district forms and processes with recent statutory changes (including AB 452-related statute-of-limitations changes) and California School Board Association recommendations; the item will return as an action item.
Robert Fishman presented proposed revisions to Board Policy 3320 (claims against the district) and proposed deleting AR 3320 as redundant; the changes track updates from the California School Board Association and recent statutory changes.
"So this policy incorporates those 5 changes," Fishman said, describing updates that reflect AB 452 adjustments to the statute of limitations for certain claims, new procedures for returning late claims, revisions to references ("registry of public agencies") and updates to district contact details on claim forms. Fishman explained that the updated policy text and forms align the district with current law and clarified the administration would not retain a separate AR that duplicates board policy.
The board had brief questions from members about whether to retain any administrative regulation nuance; Robert Fishman and staff said the changes are intended to simplify and align with the California School Board Association recommended language. The item will return to the board as a formal action item.
