G.2. Review of Revision to Policy JLCB: Immunizations of Students

G.2.a. The proposed revision to Policy JLCB: Immunizations of Students is presented for review (no action to be taken at this meeting). The Board approved a revised version of Policy JLCB in September 2022. However, since that time, inconsistencies were identified between Policy JLCB and Regulation JLCB-R, specifically related to guidance for schools and school health officials. Consequently, Policy JLCB now refers readers directly to Regulation JLCB-R to ensure consistency between the two. It is important to note that the updated policy/regulation continues to specify that immunizations for COVID-19 and for human papillomavirus may not be required by schools. The full text of the draft policy and the companion regulation are included, with each document utilizing strike-through text to indicate deletions and underlined text to indicate additions.

G.3. Recommend Approval of 2022-2023 Proposition 301 Performance Pay Plan

G.3.a. District Administration recommends approval of the Proposition 301 Performance Pay Plan for the 2022-2023 school year. Also known as the Classroom Site Fund, Proposition 301 funds are designated by the Legislature specifically for teacher salaries and include a performance pay component. Each year the District must conduct a review and the Governing Board must approve a performance based compensation system. The attached memo details changes in this year's plan, which predominantly are in the area of non-academic goals for each school site. A draft of the full plan also is included for your review.
