District staff walked the board through updates to several board policies and said the items will return on the consent agenda for approval at a subsequent meeting. Corinne Baca summarized three policies from the office of student services and safety: BP 0450 (Comprehensive Safety Plan) was revised to note that a "tactical response" portion can be reviewed by the board in closed session and will not be publicly disclosed; BP 1250 (Visitors) now requires visitor registration and grants principals authority to remove disruptive individuals; and BP 6173 (Education for Homeless Children) adds annual training for staff, housing questionnaires and reporting of homeless data to the California Department of Education.

Human resources presented BP 4112.2 to align credential-related language with the Commission on Teacher Credentialing, a new BP 4113.5 (Working Remotely) to provide guidance in the event of a public-health emergency, and BP 4114 (Transfers) to codify current contract language for voluntary and involuntary certificated transfers. Business services reported updates drawn from California School Boards Association model policies: BP 3311 (Bids) clarifies competitive procurement procedures and protest processes; BP 3312 (Contracts) adds conflict-of-interest avoidance language for employees and board members; and BP 3280 (Sale or Lease of District-Owned Property) deletes outdated provisions and clarifies the role of the Department of Housing and Community Development.

Board members asked clarifying questions about transfers and the timing of any state guidance on surplus land changes; staff said CSBA will provide updates if further changes are required. Each policy was presented for discussion and is scheduled to return on the consent agenda for approval
