The Political Reform Act (Government Code Sections 8100-91015) requires every local government agency to review its conflict of interest code biennially to determine if it is accurate, or alternatively, that the code must be amended. Upon preliminary review by the Office of the County Counsel necessary edits were needed. The County Counsel's office is the central point of contact for districts/boards to notify. 

Board Policy BB 9270 and Board Exhibit 9270/Resolution 2016-17-05, Adopting a Conflict of Interest Code is presented tonight for a first reading. No action required

School Boards who are members of CSBA are eligible to nominate Board members for CSBA’s Delegate Assembly.  There are seven (7) terms expiring in region 20 (Santa Clara County). 

The terms of seven delegates are expiring on the CSBA Delegate Assembly, Region 20 (Santa Clara County). Delegates serve for a term of two years.  Within each region, approximately half of the Delegates are elected in even-numbered years and half in odd-numbered years. 

There are normally two Delegate Assembly meetings each year, one in May, preceding the Legislative Action Conference, and one in December preceding the CSBA Annual Conference.  

The Delegate Assembly is the primary policy-making body of the association.  Delegates adopt the association’s legislative platform, take positions on other critical issues that may come before it, elect the officers and directors, and adopt bylaws changes.  Delegates also serve as a two-way communications link between the board members in the region and the regional director, and play an important role in fostering collegiality within their region.

A board member must be formally nominated by a board in the region or subregion and may be nominated by his or her own district or county office. The nomination is an action that is taken in a public board meeting and requires a majority vote. It is the responsibility of the nominating board to obtain permission from the nominee prior to submitting his or her name.

Donations in excess of $300.00 are accepted by the Board at a public meeting.  Letters of acknowledgment and appreciation are sent to all donors, regardless of the monetary value of the donation.

• $947.50 donated by Marshall Lane Elementary PTA to Marshall Lane Elementary to be used for Home & School Support.

Once certain bond measures pass in California, state law requires the District School Board to appoint an “independent citizens oversight committee to oversee the expenditures and uses of bond revenues, and then report their findings to the public.”   (Board Policy and Administrative Regulation 7214, General Obligation Bonds)

The purpose of these committees is to review district spending and ensure that bond revenues are used only for the purpose set before the voters in the wording of Measure G, as they appeared on the ballots.

Under Section 15282(a) of the Education Code, the committees must have at least seven members who serve for a term of two years without compensation and for no more than two consecutive terms.  These members must represent specific segments of the community: a business organization in the community, a community senior citizens organization, a representative of a bona fide taxpayers organization, a parent/guardian of at least one child enrolled in the District, as well as a parent who is an active member in a District parent-teacher organization. 

Due to declining enrollment in our Preschool programs, the following positions are no longer necessary.

This action will result in a reduction of two (2), 1.0 Full Time Equivalent Child Development III positions.

The resolution complies with the requirements of Education Code 45117 (b) to notice employees 60 days prior to the effective date of their layoff.

Education Code 45117, Sections (a) and (b), provide for the elimination of positions when “lack of work or lack of funds” exists.
