New board members take office the first Monday in January following the election.

Public Hearing:
Public hearings are scheduled for the purpose of gathering community comment and input regarding matters relating to the conduct of the school district. Action on matters on which a public hearing has been held may be taken at a subsequent regular or special meeting.

Meeting Procedures:
The governing board is subject to the Brown Act and uses Robert's Rules of Order to conduct business.  Here is a link to the Brown Act for download in .pdf format.
