What are the criteria for closing a school?
Individual school closure is recommended based on the number of cases, the percentage of the teacher/students/staff that are positive for COVID-19, and following consultation with the Local Health Officer. Individual school closure may be appropriate when there are multiple cases in multiple cohorts at a school or when at least 5 percent of the total number of teachers/student/staff are cases within a 14-day period, depending on the size and physical layout of the school.
The Local Health Officer may also determine school closure is warranted for other reasons, including results from public health investigation or other local epidemiological data.
What are the criteria for closing a school district?
A superintendent should close a school district if 25% or more of schools in a district have closed due to COVID-19 within 14 days, and in consultation with the local public health department.

Should the Board of Education approve the amendment of Exhibit A-Designated Positions and Filing Officers of Board Bylaw 9270 - Conflict of Interest, as submitted?
INFORMATION:
An official or employee of a state or local government agency whose position has been designed in the agency's Conflict of Interest code to file statements of economic interest or whose position has not been listed in the code but makes or participates in making governmental decisions must be included in Exhibit A-Designated Positions and Filing Officers of Board Bylaw 9270 - Conflict of Interest. At the previous Board meeting, the Board approved the addition of Exhibit B-Disclosure Categories, to Board Bylaw 9270, as requested by the County of Ventura. After submission of the revised Conflict of Interest Bylaw, the District received word back from the counsel of the County of Ventura that a revision of Exhibit A-Designated Positions and Filing Officers, was requested based on the disclosure categories assigned to designated positions. The counsel requested that our district update the assigned disclosure categories based on the six disclosure categories provided by the County of Ventura. Previously, Exhibit A included only two disclosure categories, which differed from the County's six disclosure categories, and was consistent with disclosure categories used by surrounding school districts. This exhibit was also amended to include additional classified and certificated management positions with disclosure requirements that were not considered designated positions in previous years.
A copy of the final amended version of Exhibit B is also attached for reference.

ISSUE:
Should the Board of Education approve the amendment to Board Policy 3280 - Sale or Lease of District-Owned Real Property?
INFORMATION:
CVUSD received updates to Board Policies and Administrative Regulations from GAMUT. GAMUT is a policy update service offered through the California School Boards Association (CSBA) which provides information about new laws and court opinions which may affect Board Policies, Administrative Regulations, and Board Bylways.
Board Policy 3280 is amended to reflect new law (820, 2020) which adds, until July 1, 2024, an exception to the requirement that boards appoint an advisory committee for the sale or lease of district-owned property if the property has not operated as an early childhood education facility or for elementary or secondary instruction, and new law (SB 98, 2020) which authorizes, until July 1, 2024, the proceeds from the sale or lease of property purchased entirely with local funds to be used for any one-time general fund purpose if certain conditions are met. The policy also adds material regarding the authorization for boards to meet in closed session with real property negotiations, the requirement to notify the Office of Public School Construction within 90 days if the district sells property that utilized funds received from a state school facilities program within the previous 10 years and the proceeds were not used for purposes, and conditions under which the State Allocation Board may require a return of the funds.

Board Policy 3530 is amended to address the basis upon which insurance decisions should be made and the provisions of safety-related training and protective equipment for staff.

The timeline for reporting to the board on risk management activities has been revised from twice a year to periodically to give boards flexibility based on district need.
