III. Public Comments on Individual Action Items
 

Anyone wishing to speak to a specific individual action item, board policy or other, listed below will be given the opportunity here, prior to action being taken by the Board. 

 
IV. Individual Actions Items
  A. Board Policy 1111 ~ Oath of Office; Second Reading Vote
   

No changes from the first reading.

 
     
  B. Approve Board Policy 1611 ~ Conflicts of Interest; First Reading Vote
   

We currently have the 1610 version of this policy which is for school districts with 2000+ students and last updated in 2006. 

1611 is specific for districts with fewer than 2000. We're currently sitting at 1680 FTE.

 
     
     
  C. Board Policy 3143 ~ Notification and Dissemination of Information About Student Offenses and Notification of Threats of Violence or Harm; Second Reading Vote
   

No changes from the first reading.

 
     
  D. Board Policy 3210 ~ Nondiscrimination; First Reading Vote
   

While this may look like a complete redo of the policy, it is really just cleaning it up and making things more clear. It was easier to mark it up this way than try to piece it together in the traditional mark-up you are used to seeing. 

 
     
  E. Board Policy 5011 ~Sexual Harassment of District Staff Prohibited; Second Reading Vote
   

No changes from the first reading.

 
     
  F. Approve the 2026/2027 School Year Calendar Vote
   

Our first round of voting was too close to call but we had a record number of voters at 111. 

The second round we had 127 staff vote with 52% (66) choosing calendar A as their preferred 2026/2027 School Year Calendar. Of that voting demographic, 63% represented certificated staff, 25.2% represented classified staff and the remaining 11.8% made up by administrators, non-represented staff or those preferring not to say.
