Public Comment – Members of the public may submit comments on items on the agenda, and any item within the jurisdiction of the school district in the following manner for meetings during the Shelter-in-Place Executive Order: Via a google form on this link: https://forms.gle/DnkdjWBXpuvoHGmo6 that will be opened to the public from 6:00 to 7:00 pm on the day of the meeting.

The Governing Board allows speakers to speak at regular meetings on agendized and non-agendized matters under public comment. Comments are limited to no more than three minutes per speaker. By law, no action may be taken on any item raised during the public comment periods and matters may be referred to staff for placement on a future agenda of the Governing Board.

Tim Rahill, Chief Business Official, is asking the Governing Board to approve Resolution No. 20-21-02. Article XIII B to the California Constitution, popularly known as the Gann Initiative, placed limits on the growth of expenditures for publicly funded programs. Division 9 of Title 1, beginning with Section 7900 of the Government Code, was then added to law to specify the process for calculating state and local government appropriation limits and appropriations subject to limitation under Article XIII B of the Constitution.

Over the past several years the role of curriculum and instruction has changed.  With the adoption of the Common Core State Standards,  the Next Generation Science Standards, CAASPP and ELPAC statewide assessments, the leadership needed to work directly with teachers, administrators, publishers and other departments such as Information Technology, Special Education and Student Services has become paramount.  

Now, more than ever, leadership is needed to help BUSD become a cohesive, equity-focused, and aligned District.  The role of the Director promotes the leadership, not just the implementation of programs that impact every child and teacher in the District. The following are the competencies that a Director position brings to BUSD:

• Instructional and programmatic vision, leadership and deep knowledge of CCSS/NGSS standards TK-12 and knowledge of and commitment to culturally responsive and equity centered practices.

• Expert at designing, assessing, and curating learner-centered curricular resources and supporting the curriculum adoption implementation processes. 

• Deep knowledge of adult learning theory and the ability to lead teams in the development and delivery of high-quality, relationship-based, and purposeful curriculum Tk-12.

• Facilitation of data-driven and equity-focused teams and processes. 

• Highly flexible and comfortable with change, growth and possibility.

• Skilled collaborator, communicator, and relationship builder

BUSD staff has consulted with teachers, principals, school personnel, students, parents and local bargaining units to gather input regarding the update of the Learning Continuity and Attendance Plan (LCP).  

Staff is presenting the Learning Continuity and Attendance Plan (LCP) for Public Hearing.  The LCP will be presented for final approval at the September 17^th Board Meeting.
