PUBLIC COMMENTS
In order to conduct an orderly meeting, all members of the public will be placed on mute during the Board meeting, except when making a public comment. Please also note that those who elect to participate in the meeting through the call-in number will not have the option of being unmuted to speak during the public comments portion of the meeting.
The Public Comments agenda item is set aside for members of the audience to raise issues that are not specifically on the agenda. However, due to public meeting laws, the Board can only listen to your issue, not respond or take action. The Board may give direction to staff to respond to your concern or you may be offered the option of returning with a citizen-requested item. These presentations are limited to three (3) minutes and total time allotted to non-agenda items will not exceed thirty (30) minutes. A member of the public who requires the use of a translator, in order to receive the same opportunity as others to directly address the Board, shall have twice the allotted time to speak. When addressing the Board, speakers are requested to adhere to the time limits set forth. In order to maintain allotted time limits, the Board Chair may modify speaker time allocations or the total amount of allotted time for an item.
Consent Agenda: All matters listed under the consent agenda are considered by the Board to be routine and will be approved/enacted by the Board in one motion in the form listed below. Unless specifically requested by a Board member for further discussion or removed from the agenda, there will be no discussion of these items prior to the Board votes on them. The Executive Director recommends approval of all consent agenda items.
In compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and upon request, El Camino Real Alliance may furnish reasonable auxiliary aids and services to qualified individuals with disabilities. Requests for disability related modifications or accommodations shall be made 24 hours prior to the meeting to David Hussey, in person, by email at comment@ecrchs.net, or by calling (818) 595-7500.

Discuss and Vote on the School Plan for Student Achievement (SPSA)
Prior to the vote, Mr. Hussey provided a brief overview of the SPSA, which he noted had been discussed multiple times, including at the previous Special Board Meeting on December 9th, 2021, and wherein Ms. Clark had noted that the SPSA is predominantly the same as that of last year, with some changes based on Measures of Academic Progress (MAP) formative assessment data that evidenced some areas of decline and that informed the writing of newly proposed Goals 1 and 2 and strategies for meeting the new goals.
Mr. Hussey noted for the record that this item is a VOTE item, as there had been a typo on the Agenda that indicated that the item was erroneously listed as a discussion item only.
Ms. Ramirez made the motion to vote to approve the SPSA.
Ms. Ramirez voted "Aye."
The motion Passed 6-0.
Mr. Perez had resigned prior to the vote.
