Approve Comprehensive School Safety Plans for district sites.

Education Code 32286 and Board Policy 0450 state that all school sites must maintain a comprehensive safety plan to ensure that students and staff are safe and secure on campus and are free from physical or psychological harm.  Beginning in September, the Student Services Department has worked closely with sites to update their plans, conduct safety drills, and implement an emergency communication drill procedure.  The plans must be reviewed and updated each year and approved by the Governing Board.

Education Code Section 17545 authorizes the governing board of any school district to sell for cash any personal property belonging to the district if the property is not required for school purposes, or if it should be disposed of for the purpose of replacement, or if it is unsatisfactory or not suitable for school use. The governing board may choose to conduct a sale of personal property under this section by means of a public auction conducted by employees of the district or other public agency or by contract with a public auction firm. The Board of Education may delegate to the district employee responsible for conducting the auction the authority to transfer the personal property to the highest responsible bidder upon completion of the auction and after payment has been received by the district.
