Background:
The set of approximately 30 Board Policies in this agenda item are ones for which the California School Board Association has made revisions to recommended policies, but these changes have not yet been incorporated into the district’s policies. Updating these policies will bring them into alignment with California Ed Code, state or federal law, and/or recommendations from CSBA. June, July, and September 2024 CSBA updates are included here, in addition to policies that were found to be out of date based on an internal audit of MVWSD policies.
Staff responsible for the duties identified within the particular policy have reviewed these policies and made appropriate adjustments/additions. Trustees may view reasons for CSBA recommended edits and inclusions in the blue notes boxes, which will be resolved before posting on mvwsd.org. In some cases, options that staff recommends have been chosen with the other options included with strikeouts. The current MVWSD versions are presented for comparison.
The corresponding Administrative Regulations will be reviewed and then posted by staff for implementation after the corresponding policies have been approved by the Board.
Staff anticipates another update from CSBA in January 2025 and will bring those policies for Board consideration.
Fiscal Implication:
None
Recommended Action:
It is recommended that the Board of Trustees review the policies as presented.
Unless specifically pulled for revisions, these policies will be scheduled for approval in the consent portion of the Jan 16, 2025, Board of Trustees Meeting agenda.
