Early transcript-only summary — no source links

The school board held a brief meeting to approve volunteers and overnight chaperones for the 2022-23 school year. During discussion, board members identified that the volunteer policy contains outdated requirements, specifically a 60-day waiting period for TB clearance that no longer reflects current testing capabilities (3-day turnaround). The board approved the volunteer list with an amendment to set aside the 60-day TB clearance waiting period requirement. Superintendent Arellano provided guidance that board policies can be reviewed and revised at any time, noting that some policies are ed code-driven while others are board-driven and may be antiquated.
