Board Office Hours

Board Office Hours are informal virtual meetings between the Board and the community. It provides a venue for the Board to engage informally outside that of a Board Meeting to facilitate community input on the District's educational policy decisions.

Under the requirements of the Brown Act, the Public Comment portion of a Board Meeting does not allow for a back-and-forth dialogue. Office Hours, on the other hand, allows for a more informal conversation between Board Members and the community. In addition, Board Members rotate hosting duties with only two in attendance to ensure that there is no Brown Act violation.

Office Hours are held monthly when schools are in session. They are held at different times (morning or evening) to accommodate schedules, with different Board Members rotating in attendance. The Zoom link to each Office Hour is sent to the community via ParentSquare approximately one week in advance of the event.

Any interested member of the community is invited to attend. Board Members rotate hosting duties with two in attendance at each Office Hour.

The two Board Member hosts report back to the full Board during Board Activity Comments at the following Regular Board Meeting. Urgent issues are related to the Superintendent sooner.
