Members of the public wishing to address specific items on the Board meeting agenda are requested to call 707-748-2787 (one comment per person, per item limited to 3 minutes) on the day of the meeting between 3:00 - 7:00 p.m. Please note that no anonymous messages will be played. If your comment is for “closed session” please be sure to state that so that it can be addressed prior to “closed session.” The board clerk will play the recording of all the “open session” public comments to the specific items then being discussed by the Board (Board Bylaw 9323) during the public comment item. The Governing Board allows speakers to speak at regular meetings on agendized and non-agendized matters under public comment.

Board Policy and Administrative Regulation 1312.3 - Uniform Complaint Procedures The District has been working with CSBA on approving the Uniform Complaint Policy that would more closely comply with what the State needs due to the Federal Program Monitoring (FPM) that the District participated in 2 years ago. CSBA updated their Uniform Complaint Policy in December. This is a more current policy than the one we submitted and approved in October. This policy needs to be fast-tracked due to the deadlines for the FPM. This policy will be brought for final approval at the April meeting. |
