Summary

The Board reviewed and prioritized items for upcoming meetings: Board Member O’Neill will lead drafting a Bill of Rights resolution, the JJDPC presentation was set for April, a Rollins Road presentation and discussion was agreed upon, the cell phone policy was assigned to the Board Policy Subcommittee, and SELPA liaisons will handle CAC recruitment.

Board members reviewed a list of suggested topics and agreed on how to prioritize them. Board President Hugo Torres proposed focusing on presentations first and using memos for routine updates. Board Member O’Neill said he wanted a resolution supporting the U.S. Constitution and the Bill of Rights placed on the agenda; the Board agreed that O’Neill will draft the resolution.

The Board also discussed the future of the Rollins Road property — described by Board Member O’Neill as a vacant, "multi-million-dollar asset" with no current tenants — and asked for a presentation and discussion, ideally with legal counsel present to clarify surplus-property options. Members agreed to prioritize a Juvenile Justice Delinquency Prevention Commission presentation in April, to route the cell phone policy to the Board Policy Subcommittee, and to have SELPA liaisons work on CAC recruitment materials and appointment processes.

A summary list of agreed next steps was recorded by staff and included removing a standalone Workforce Housing update (to be handled by the Workforce Housing Subcommittee), incorporating Strategic Plan tracking into Budget/Study Session work, and starting the United for Youth item as a memo. Board Member Bonini and Superintendent Chávez will coordinate on materials for student board member recruitment and weekly update formats.
