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.

The California Department of Education (CDE) is requiring an LCAP Supplemental Report for this year only.  The intention of the report is to identify how educational partners provided input for federal one-time funds along with how those funds are aligned to the district’s 2021-22 LCAP.  Paso Robles Joint Unified School District elected to include one-time federal funds within the 2021-22 LCAP development process and to identify how the one-time funds are used to support the LCAP goals.  Additional funds that were received in the fall (ESSER III) were determined based on input from educational partners through the LCAP process and through focus groups and were outlined within the ESSER III Spending Plan.  Although the CDE does not require the district to identify new state funds within the LCAP Supplemental Report, PRJUSD elected to provide information on state funds as well.  The LCAP Supplemental Report includes a required template with five narrative questions, a mid-year report of metrics and a mid-year report on expenditures.  The LCAP Supplemental Report is required to be presented as an information item to the Board of Trustees by February 28, 2022 and will be submitted with the 2022-23 LCAP.

A member of the public has requested that the Board of Trustees change the policies of the District in addressing public concerns, specifically at board meetings.  

The District currently has procedures to address public concerns and complaints under the Uniform Complaint Procedures:  BP 1000,1100, 1312, 1312.1, 1312.2, 1312.3, and AR 1312.4.   These processes and procedures are aligned state and federal regulations.  

We appreciate the concern of the member of the public.  The Public Comment "goldenrod" request form has been updated for members of the public to leave contact information and request contact to further discuss an issue. 

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.
