Summary

Trustees approved multiple policy updates on second reading while agreeing to delay action on policy 5131.8 (mobile communication devices) to gather more input about implementation at the high school.

District staff asked the board to approve several policy and regulation updates on second read while requesting that policy 5131.8 (mobile communication devices) be pulled for further input and refinement. Trustees agreed to the recommended approach and approved the other policy changes by voice vote.

Staff explained the rationale for approving policies now (including updates from School and College Legal Services and CSBA) while refining specific sections later. "We are asking that you delay action on policy 5131.8 ... to continue to get a little bit more input on what this is gonna look like at our high school," a staff presenter said.

Trustees named volunteer reviewers for upcoming policy committee work and scheduled further refinement at the next policy meeting. The board took no action on the pulled CSEA MOU (item 10C) and noted collaborative work on that item remains in progress.
