Discussion and Action Items

Board Policies and Bylaws

Policy updated to remove outdated material and reflect SB 941, which permits a district to enter into an instruction collaboration agreement with another school district, county office of education, or charter school to offer the same or similar courses and coursework to students who have been impacted by teacher shortages, disruptions, or cancellations to science, technology, engineering, and mathematics classes, or dual language immersion programs.
