VI. ACTION ITEMS - DISTRICT BUSINESS
(Specific items of District business as listed for consideration - may include various categorical areas as the business of the District necessitates Board discussion, deliberation, and action)   

VI.1. Consideration and possible approval of one bylaw change from the ASBA.  The Board will  discuss,  consider  and give direction on voting on one bylaw  change proposal  from  the Arizona School  Boards  Association.  This  bylaw  proposal  by  the ASBA  Board of Directors  must be approved by  two-thirds of the ASBA  member  boards  to be effective.  After  discussion,  the Board will vote to give direction to  Superintendent Mike Westcott  to vote in the  manner  the board has  approved.  The following is  the bylaw  proposal  to be considered and acted upon: 

Proposal  A    With unanimous  approval  of the ASBA  Hispanic  Native America Indian Caucus  and ASBA  Board of Directors,  this  change is  being  sought by  the Hispanic-Native American Indian Caucus  (HNAIC).  It would create a seat on the ASBA  Board of Directors  so that Hispanic  and Native American interests  can be represented  simultaneously  on the board. Currently, there is  one  seat on the ASBA  Board of Directors  designated for  a representative of the HNAIC  and it alternates  every  two years  between Hispanic representation and Native American representation, creating  gaps  in representation.  By contrast, the  Black  Alliance has  a seat on the ASBA  Board of  Directors, ensuring representation on the board at all  times.  This  proposed bylaw  change also provides  the flexibility  for  the HNAIC  to split into two distinct groups  if its  members  so  choose and allows  those  groups  to change their  names  and be recognized under  the new  names. 

VI.2. Consideration and possible approval of the 2021-22 Classroom Site Fund payroll distribution plan. Over the past year, several changes have been applied to the Classroom Site Fund (CSF) resulting in expanded allowances and additional monies for the fund. Most notably, on March 18, 2021, Governor Ducey signed SB 1139 modifying distribution requirements for monies from the CSF

VI.3. Request for Approval of Authorized Designees for Asset Disposal - The Board will discuss and consider approval for authorizing designee(s) for disposal or transfer of fixed assets. 

VII. INFORMATION AND DISCUSSION ITEMS 

VII.1. First reading of modifications to Policy GBEF and Regulation GBEF-R: Staff use of digital communications and electronic devices. 

VII.2. First reading of modifications to Policy GCQE - Retirement of Professional Staff members.  Consideration of a notice of intent to retire deadline of January 31.

VII.3. First Reading of ASBA Policy Advisories 712 - 715.  These Policy Advisories are in response to a recent ruling by Maricopa County Superior Court Judge Katherine Cooper that parts of H.B. 2898 are unconstitutional and void.  Should there be additional court action in the future that reinstates these laws, Policy Services will re-issue these Policy Advisories under new numbers to avoid further confusion.

VII.4.  First reading of modifications to Policy CA - ADMINISTRATION  GOALS /PRIORITY  OBJECTIVES as related to the recommendations from the CMSi Curriculum Audit.
