Summary

Board member Michelle announced she will resign after the August meeting to return to classroom teaching, citing Ed Code limitations; she urged the board to consider facilities and service delivery for rural districts, including a possible presence in Willits.

Board member Michelle announced she will step down after the August meeting because California education code prevents her from both teaching and serving on the board. "I must resign in order to teach. I can't do both. Ed code doesn't allow me to do both," she said.

Michelle urged the board to continue innovative practices, increase exposure of district staff to outside ideas, and to consider facility planning to deliver efficient services to rural schools. She suggested evaluating whether the current campus in Ukiah is the right footprint and proposed considering a facility in Willits to better serve northern and rural schools. The board thanked Michelle and wished her well.
