PLEASE NOTE:  BUSD has moved to in-person Board meetings. We ask that members of the public, who wish to attend, including those who wish to address the board, wear a mask at all times.  For those who do not wish to attend the meeting but would like to submit a public comment, we have opened the "Public Comment" voicemail line again.  Comments can be submitted between 5:00-7:00 p.m. by calling 707-748-2787 (one comment per person, per item limited to 3 minutes) on the day of the meeting.  Please remember to state your name and item you wish to address. If your comment is for “closed session,” please be sure to state that at the beginning of your message so that it can be addressed prior to “closed session.” Members of the public may address the Board at a meeting on any item within the Board's jurisdiction.  Those in person are asked to fill out a speaker card, available at the back table, noting the item they wish to speak to. Please submit speaker cards to the Board Secretary. The Board President will call all the “open session” public comments not on the agenda (Gov. Code Section 54954.3) during the public comment item. The comments for items on the agenda will be called during the specific item. Comments are limited to no more than three minutes per speaker or the board may limit the total time to 20 minutes per item. 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.  Please be reminded to keep your comments respectful as students may be watching the board meeting, thank you.

Tim Rahill, Chief Business Official, is asking the Governing Board to approve Resolution No. 21-22-08. 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.

Dr. Leslie Beatson, Assistant Superintendent of Education Services, will report on new legislation requiring Universal Transitional Kindergarten for all four year olds.  This presentation will focus on: the requirements of the legislation, what Universal TK will mean for BUSD, and the initial planning steps.
