ISSUE:
Should the Board of Education ratify the 2023-2024 bell schedules for Thousand Oaks High School and Westlake High School to be in compliance with Senate Bill 328?
INFORMATION:
In accordance with California Senate Bill 328, commencing July 1, 2022, high schools shall begin no earlier than 8:30 a.m. and middle schools shall begin no earlier than 8:00 a.m. This section does not prohibit a school district or charter school from offering classes or activities to a limited number of pupils before the start of the school day that do not generate average daily attendance for purposes of computing any apportionments of state funding. New bell schedules, compliant with SB 328, were implemented during the 2022-2023 school year; however, newly bell schedules which also comply with SB 328 are being proposed for Thousand Oaks High School and Westlake High School.
This year, school staff developed and approved new bell schedules in compliance with SB 328. The development of a new bell schedule is a site-based decision, requiring a 70% approval of faculty in accordance with the current UACT Collective Bargaining Agreement Article 9, Section L (2007). Bell schedules must then be presented for ratification by the Board of Education.

ISSUE:
Should the Board of Education approve the amendments to Board Bylaw 9223 - Filling Vacancies?
INFORMATION:
CVUSD receives 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 Bylaws.
Board Bylaw 9223 has been updated to reflect new law (SB 1061, 2022), by adding information at the end of the "Provisional Appointments" section regarding the requirement for petitions for special elections to contain the county official's estimate of cost of conducting a special election, expressed on a per-student basis. This bylaw was also updated to reflect a new attorney-general opinion on how a vacancy is to be filled when a district's trustee areas have been revised or election method has changed from "at-large" to "by-trustee area," since the Board member whose term is to be completed was last elected. These amendments also rearrange the items in "Timelines for Filling a Vacancy" and offer districts to option to revise as necessary for clarity.

ISSUE:
Should the Board of Education approve the amendments to Board Policy and Administrative Regulation 1250 - Visitors?
INFORMATION:
CVUSD receives 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 Bylaws.
The Board Policy is revised to reflect Education Code 32212, which authorizes the Governing Board to adopt policy to control classroom interruptions consistent with local circumstances, and Education Code 35160, which authorizes the Governing Board to act in any manner not inconsistent with law, including the authority to require all visitors to register upon entering a school campus and to comply with other reasonable requirements (Penal Code 627.1). This policy is also revised in accordance with Penal Code 626.7. authorizing the principal or designee to request that any individual who is causing disruption to immediately leave school grounds, and in accordance with Penal Code 290, requiring any person who is required to register as a sex offender to request written permission from the principal before entering school grounds.
The Administrative Regulation is revised to reflect Education Code 32211, requiring that a notice describing visitor registration requirements be posted at every entrance to school grounds, and reflecting Penal Code 627.1, 627.2, and Evidence Code 1070, clarifying individuals considered "visitors" who are required to register upon entering school premises during school hours. This regulation is also revised to clarify a principal's registration authority, including the right to revoke any visitor's registration if they have a reasonable basis to conclude an evident disruption or interference with peaceful conduct of school activities, and the right for the principal or designee to request that the individual promptly leave school grounds.
Further amendments to the Board Policy and Administrative Regulation have been made based on the Board feedback provided during the 3/1/23 Board meeting.

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.
