Trustee presses for improved absence notifications and asks about student parking during handbook review
Summary
During review of the Student Handbook, Trustee Maria Garcia asked that the district improve the timing and frequency of absence notifications and raised concerns about high-school students parking across the street; Principal Sandra Espinoza said those students are more likely not to have driver's licenses.
HR Director Fernando Garnica presented the proposed Student Handbook at the Aug. 20 meeting. Trustee Maria Garcia said the district should improve how and when families are notified about student absences, specifically citing timing and frequency as areas for improvement.
Maria Garcia also asked for clarification about high-school student parking after staff noted that students frequently park across the street from campus. High School Principal Sandra Espinoza said students who park across the street are "more than likely do not obtain a driver's license," explaining why some students do not use the on-campus lot. The transcript records staff explanations but does not include proposed handbook language changes or an action to revise the handbook at this meeting.
