| III. | Motions | 11:24 AM | |||
| A. | Motion to approve the revised bylaws. | Vote | Anna Carlstone-Hurst | 7 m | |
|
These are revised bylaws. The last time we approved bylaws was in 2020. Both the redlined and the clean copy are attached. The changes can be summarized as follows: 1) Board term limits are switched from 2 three year terms to 3 three year terms 2) Language outlining the expectations for teleconferencing per the Brown Act are included for board reference (per YMC best practices)
The Ed Code does not require term limits and these changes do not counter what is in our charter so we do not need LAUSD approval for them. |
