| This item is for information only. |
| The policies of the Los Altos School District are influenced by federal, state, and local policies, statutes, and court decisions. In order to keep our policies current with the ongoing changes affecting our policies, the California School Boards Association (CSBA) periodically advises districts of recommended changes in board policies, administrative regulations and board bylaws as a means to assist boards in keeping their policies current and reflecting the changes in those laws and regulations. The Board of Trustees will review the updated wording for the attached board policies. This is a first reading of the updated policies. Approval will occur at a future meeting. |
| |
|
|
| CSBA deletes board policies, administrative regulations and board bylaws when either the policy language is added to a different policy or when a policy becomes irrelevant due to changes in law. The Board of Trustees will review the recommended deletions. Approval of the deletions will take place at the next regular meeting.
