Year End Resolutions allow VCSBSA to process our monetary/fiscal responsibilities during the summer when Bridges is closed.

Approval is recommended.

In order to have the State of California (Department of Education)  reimburse Bridges for monies lost due to school closure on 1-/17/22 for police activity in the area.  CDE Form J-13A must be completed, and then signed by the majority of the Board.   I recommend approval of this item.

For your approval is the  2023-2024 Family Handbook.  The handbook includes the the Annual Notice of Parent Rights and Responsibilities.  Edits reflect updates to correspond with current law, policies, and procedures and are aligned with the template provided by the Ventura County Office of Education.   

Approval of this item is recommended. 

Added language to reflect J-13A Request for Allowance of Attendance Due to Emergency Conditions. 

Approval is recommended. 

This policy is an update to the model COVID-19 Prevention Program (CPP) according to the Cal/OSHA permanent regulation and recent changes to California Department of Public Health (CDPH) guidance.

The revised CPP is in the order of the permanent regulation and many requirements have been moved around in the document.  

The revised model CPP is more in alignment with guidance from the CDPH.  There are also many provisions in the permanent regulation that indicate that CDPH guidance or orders prevail if there are differences.

Approval of this updated plan is recommended.

This revised policy includes more specific procedures for accelerating students should teachers or parents request grade acceleration.

Approval of this policy is recommended.
