Response to the question regarding co-teaching from Trustee Lopez: 

Parallel Teaching is one of six models or approaches to co-teaching. This occurs when teachers divide the class into two groups and they instruct each group with the same content simultaneously. This strategy is not designed to separate general education students and students with disabilities. Instead, it provides a smaller learning environment that promotes more opportunities for questions and discussion between the students and teacher. Students can be separated into random groupings or based on an array of factors such as interests or student choice.

ISSUE:

 

Should the Board of Education adopt a resolution declaring November 7-11, 2022, as "National School Psychology Week?"

 

BACKGROUND:

 

Districts are encouraged to adopt Board Resolutions commending the School Psychologists and to publicize the role and essential contributions and services provided by School Psychologists in the educational process.

 

RATIONALE:

 

It is appropriate that the Board of Education publicly recognize School Psychologists for the hard work and dedication of these individuals for our students, schools, and community.  This resolution should be shared with each school and worksite to honor the School Psychologists.

ISSUE:

 

Should the Board of Education determine whether to make a new appointment or to reappoint Nathan K. Harimoto to the Personnel Commission for the term of office commencing December 1, 2022, to November 30, 2025?

 

INFORMATION:

 

In accord with Education Code 45240, the Board of Education must appoint or reappoint a candidate to serve on the Personnel Commission upon a vacancy. The appointment of the Board-appointed Commissioner is for a three (3) year term.  Mr. Nathan K. Harimoto has served as the Board appointee on the Personnel Commission since 1991, with his current term expiring on November 30, 2022. Mr. Harimoto has upheld the principles of the merit system in a fair and consistent manner.

 

The California Education Code requires that the governing board make a public announcement of the name of the nominee at a regular Board of Education meeting.  A Public Hearing is then required not sooner than thirty (30) days nor more than forty-five (45) days from the date of the announcement. The purpose of the Public Hearing shall provide the public, employees, and employee organizations the opportunity to express their view on the qualifications of the person recommended for the appointment.  After the Public Hearing, the Board of Education shall appoint the nominee or make a substitute appointment without further notification or Public Hearing.


Education Code 45246 (g) states that a commissioner whose term has expired may continue to discharge the duties of the office until a successor is appointed, but for no more than 90 calendar days.

ISSUE:

 

Should the Board of Education approve the amendments to Board Bylaw 9320 - Meetings and Notices?

 

INFORMATION:

 

CVUSD receives updates to Board Policies and Administrative Regulations from GAMUT. GAMUT is a policy update service offered through California School Boards Association (CSBA), which provides information about new laws and court opinions which may affect Board Policies, Administrative Regulations, and Board Bylaws.

 

Board Bylaw 9320 is updated to clarify that it is a discussion among themselves, via technology, of a majority of the Governing Board regarding an item within the subject matter jurisdiction of the Board that can result in a violation of the Brown Act, and that agenda materials are required to be made available for public inspection at the time the materials are distributed to all or a majority of the Board when agenda materials relating to an open session of a regular meeting are distributed to the Board less than 72 hours before the meeting.


This Bylaw also adds a new section "Teleconferencing During a Proclaimed State of Emergency" which reflects New Law (AB 361, 2021) that (1) authorizes boards, until January 1, 2024, to conduct board meetings by teleconference, as specified, without meeting certain requirements otherwise required of teleconference meetings when holding a board meeting during a proclaimed state of emergency when state or local officials have imposed or recommend measures to promote social distancing; to determine whether, as a result of an emergency, meeting in person would present imminent risks to the health or safety of attendees; or when it has been determined, as a result of an emergency, that meeting in person would present imminent risks to the health or safety of attendees, (2) includes that the district may, in its discretion, provide a physical location from which the public may attend or comment and, (3) provides that the board may continue to conduct meetings by teleconference during proclaimed states of emergency by a majority vote finding within 30 days after teleconferencing for the first time and every 30 days thereafter that either the state of emergency continues to directly impact the ability of the board to meet safely in person or that state or local officials continue to impose or recommend measures to promote social distancing.

Board Bylaw 9322 is updated to reflect new law (SB 274, 2021) which requires districts with a website to email a copy of, or a website link to, the agenda or a copy of all the documents constituting the agenda packet, if a person requests such items be delivered by email, unless it is technologically infeasible to do so.  This Bylaw is also updated to include a focus on student well-being in the philosophical statement, add a provision for each agenda to include a statement regarding the option for students and parents/guardians to request that directory information or personal information of the student or parent/guardian be excluded from the meeting minutes as required by law, and to make other clarifying changes.

ISSUE:

 

Should the Board of Education approve the contracts under $5,000 listed below?

 

INFORMATION:

 

Education Code 17604 states “wherever in this code the power to contract is invested in the governing board of the school district or any member thereof, the power may by a majority vote of the board be delegated to its district superintendent, or to any persons that he or she may designate, or if there be no district superintendent then to any other officer or employee of the district that the board may designate. The delegation of power may be limited as to time, money or subject matter or may be a blanket authorization in advance of its exercise, all as the governing board may direct. However, no contract made pursuant to the delegation and authorization shall be valid or constitute an enforceable obligation against the district unless and until the same shall have been approved or ratified by the governing board, the approval or ratification to be evidenced by a motion of the board duly passed and adopted.”  Therefore, all contracts are presented to the Board of Education for approval.  Contracts over $5,000 will be presented individually as a separate Board agenda item.
