In the interest of conducting the business of public education in a timely manner, there is a two or three-minute limit per individual speaker which, at the discretion of the board president, may be modified depending on the number of speakers.  A maximum of thirty (30) minutes for the comment period may be imposed.

In order to maintain a respectful public forum, members of the audience will please limit applause to occasions of student performance, employee recognition, and significant community contributions which are celebrated by everyone present.

During this public comment period, the law does not allow the Board of Education to take action on any item not explicitly posted on the agenda in advance.  However, Board members may ask for clarification, refer concerns to staff, and/or request that an item be placed on a future agenda.

Approve re- submission of the Request for Allowance of Attendance Due to Emergency Conditions (Form J-13A) for DJUSD to the California Department of Education.

On June 14, 2018, the Board of Education approved the submission of Form J-13A Request for Allowance of Attendance Due to Emergency Conditions for DJUSD. This form was submitted to request an allowance for attendance because the District received an anonymous threat directed at Frances Harper Junior High School on March 5, 2018. 

After review, the California Department of Education requested that the District revise the form, and in doing so, an additional school showed a material decrease in overall attendance on March 5.  The form has been revised to request allowance for attendance at Emerson Junior High, along with the original schools identified, Harper Junior High School and Fairfield Elementary School. 

It is anticipated that after CDE's review of our submission, LCFF funding for 2017-18 will increase slightly. 

Approve the complete 2018-2019 School-Connected Organization list as presented.
