Mountain View Whisman School District
Agenda Item for Board Meeting of 5/29/2025
Agenda Category: ACTION AND DISCUSSION
Agenda Item Title: (Discussion) First Reading of Board Policies
Estimated Time:
Person Responsible: Jeffrey Baier, Superintendent
Background:
CSBA advises districts of recommended changes in board policies, administrative regulations, and board bylaws to assist boards in keeping their policies current and reflecting all recent changes in laws and regulations.
Updating MVWSD's board policies, administrative regulations, and board bylaws with CSBA recommendations will align the district's policies with the California Ed Code and state and/or federal law.
The Policy Committee reviewed the policies at its May 14, 2025, meeting and is bringing them for First Reading and the Trustees' review.
- BP 5030 Student Wellness
- BP 5141.5 Mental Health (new to MVWSD)
Policy 5030 Student Wellness, known as the Local School Wellness Policy (LSWP), was discussed. The Health and Wellness committee examined annual goals, district practices, local data, and state and national model policies as part of the triennial review. MVWSD policies and practices are consistent with state and federal requirements. The results of the 2025 triennial review are consistent with previous reviews. It is a triennial review year, which the policy language requires, and does not follow the typical CSBA renewal timeline.
Policy 5141.5 Mental Health is a new policy being recommended for adoption. It focuses on student mental health and well-being and aims to create a school environment that prioritizes this, providing resources and support to help students succeed academically and emotionally.
