| Board Bylaw 9270 and Exhibit 9270 - Conflict of Interest were both discussed during the last Board meeting on April 28, 2020, where the policy was presented with CSBA's current recommendations, redlined version.
The Board Bylaw Committee discussed these documents and made very minor changes to the Bylaw on May 5, 2020.
Board Bylaws require two readings prior to approving updates. Staff seeks Board approval to update BB 9270 and E 9270. |

| It has been determined that adding a Special Board Meeting on June 4, 2020, is necessary for a study session for reopening school strategies, goal setting and financial discussion after the May revision of Governor Newsom's budget. Because this date was not on the original Board-adopted calendar for 2020, it will be called a Special Meeting and will need Board approval. |

| DISTRICT CELL PHONE POLICY
Under existing law, school district boards can set rules limiting the possession and use of smartphones and other "electronic signaling devices" on their campuses and at school-sponsored events.
Senate Bill 272 authorizes school districts, county offices of education, and charter schools to create policies limiting or prohibiting the use of smartphones by students while at school or at school-sponsored activities-except under certain circumstances. Regardless of the recommended policy, students will be allowed to use their devices in emergency situations or when a threat of danger is perceived; if a doctor or surgeon determines a need for the phone related to health or well-being; or if the use/possession of a smartphone is required by a student's individualized education program.
STUDENT RESPONSIBLE USE OF TECHNOLOGY
Exhibit has been updated for approval by the Board of Trustees. |

| SUICIDE PREVENTION
(BP Revised) Policy and Regulation updated by CSBA to include new law (AB 1767), which mandates age-appropriate policy on suicide prevention, intervention, and postvention for students in grades K-6 beginning in the 2020-21 school year. This Policy reflects requirements to consult with specified stakeholders on policy development, coordinate with the county mental health plan whenever a referral is made for mental health or related services for a student in grades K-6 who is a Medi-Cal beneficiary, and ensure that employees act within the authorization and scope of their credential or license.
The policy also reflects NEW LAW (AB 34) which requires the district, beginning in the 2020-21 school year, to post its suicide prevention policy in a prominent location on its web site. |
