Motion to approve policy subcommittee minutes:
Alper/Daniels DISCUSSION District Reserve Policy|
Daniels explained that the state requires that we have a 3% reserve. The goal is to strengthen the reserve by establishing an additional reserve beyond that threshold. Much of the discussion has centered around the conditions under which funds can be committed. The proposed conditions are: the committed reserve is less than 1 percent, the adopted budget received a positive certification, and the unaudited actuals show that there are unassigned funds. Daniels moved to have this draft go before Cabinet. It will come back to the Policy Committee if Cabinet has any concerns. Otherwise, it will go before the Board for discussion on Sept. 27. Alper seconded. Motion passed unanimously. Name Change
Director Beery said that the AR has been drafted in consultation with the schools and the community. She shared some of the history of past name changing processes in BUSD. She explained that the goal is to test this new name changing process with LeConte to better and more smoothly lead other schools through this process. Participants discussed and reviewed language. Much of the discussion centered around the restriction of having one school at a time go through this process. This item will come back for further discussion . Update Policy Calendar

Meeting adjourned at 12:20 p.m.
