Educational Employees Credit Union (EECU) was founded in 1934, focused on providing low-cost financial services to the educational community. The non-profit organization approached the District in November 2021, to explore the potential of the installation of an Automatic Teller Machine (ATM) at the District Office. This would provide a convenience for members and the community of Paso Robles. While EECU has its roots in Central California, they have expanded to the Central Coast. Recently, they have purchased a building and expect to open a branch in 2023. Staff has reviewed this agreement, along with legal counsel and it is recommended that the District pursue this opportunity.
Attached is a Letter of Introduction describing the financial institution and renderings of other ATM kiosks. |

The indoor mask mandate in non-youth settings ordered as of September 1, 2021, has been lifted by the San Luis Obispo County Public Health Officer as of February 16, 2022, for all vaccinated individuals in alignment with state masking policy. At this time, the State order continues to require masking in indoor public places for those who are not vaccinated and in youth settings. Staff will present four possible actions for the Board to consider: 1) Adopt Resolution No. 22-13 Regarding Mask Mandates for Students 2) A member of the public has requested that the District create a new exemption policy regarding mask mandates and future COVID-19 related policies. The request states that all requests for exemption from a student, employee, contractor, subcontractor, volunteer, parent, or visitor be presumed legitimate until proven otherwise. 3) Stay the course aligned with state requirements. PRJUSD has a mask exemption process aligned to CDPH. Additionally, for a student with a disability, if the disability impedes them from either being able to wear a mask for medical reasons, or due to their disability, an IEP team must meet and determine what, if any, accommodations or modifications are necessary for the student to access their special education and related services. This would require an IEP team review and in many cases may need to include a team member from the district's nursing services. 4) Table this discussion until the March 8, 2022 Regular Meeting of the Board of Trustees due to anticipated state announcement February 28, 2022 regarding updated mask mandate in youth settings.

A major capital improvements program involves important decisions regarding the method by which the projects will be designed and constructed - the project delivery method. This decision has become more complex as a variety of alternative delivery methods have been developed to address weaknesses in the "traditional" design-bid-build process. The district's legal counsel will review and compare the design-bid-build method versus LLB and address amendments to the Education Code and statutes, which authorizes LLB as a construction delivery method. |

A member of the public has requested that the Board revisit Board Policy 1250: Visitors/Outsiders to reflect a new rule that members of the Board of Trustees may, without notice, and at any time, enter all school district properties without notice. On September, 28, 2021, an information item was presented to the Board to discuss current policies and the protocols in place for the review of instructional materials, grading practices, and classroom visitation by members of the Board of Trustees, parents of students enrolled in classes, and community members at large. This item is presented to discuss possible changes to these protocols and a possible update to BP 1250. |
