Board Office Hours

Board Office Hours are informal virtual meetings between the Board and the community/staff. It provides a venue for the Board to engage informally outside that of a Board Meeting to facilitate community and staff 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 and staff. In addition, Board Members rotate hosting duties with only two in attendance to ensure that there is no Brown Act violation.

Board Office Hours are held quarterly when schools are in session. The Community BOHs are held at different times (morning or evening) to accommodate schedules, and the Staff BOHs are held in the afternoon after the students are dismissed.  The Zoom link to each BOH is sent to the community/staff via ParentSquare approximately one week in advance of the event.

Any interested member of the community/staff 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.
