Meetings Details
The Board typically convenes on a Wednesday once a month for regularly scheduled meetings. Besides these regular meetings, the Board may also gather for special meetings as needed. The usual location of meetings is the Dr. Lowell Billings Board Room at the Education Service and Support Center, 84 East J Street, Chula Vista.
Due to current conditions and in following the Governor's orders to limit gatherings, Board meetings will not be open to the public. They will, however, be streamed live. Please note that, during this time, meetings are being held earlier than usual to accommodate support staff members needs.
Every December, during the organizational meeting, the Board adopts a regular meeting calendar for the following year--listed below. The schedule includes links to agendas and their related documents as well as minutes, audio, and reports as pertinent. If you need documentation from a meeting that is not listed, please contact us using the Let's Talk! button below (also found on the left hand side of the screen throughout our website) and we will make every effort to accommodate your request. Please ensure you choose "Board of Education" as the topic.
Addressing the Board - New Information
The Board welcomes public input, and the Brown Act requires that members of the public are permitted to address the Board on matters within the Board’s jurisdiction during Board meetings. Executive Orders from the Governor issued in March 2020 allow school boards to hold virtual meetings so long as members of the public can observe and address the meetings. As a courtesy, when the pandemic began, the Board permitted members of the community to send in comments to be read aloud. Moving forward, as restrictions related to COVID-19 remain in place, the Board will only offer live, virtual public comment in a manner substantially similar to ordinary, in-person meetings.
Should you wish to be heard during Board meetings, please call (619) 679-9001. Callers will be queued and put on hold until it is their turn to speak. It is important to note that during special Board meetings, comments are restricted to those related to items on the agenda.
All future written comments received will be treated as correspondence from the sender to the Board of Education and shared with Board Members but not read aloud during meetings. The Board encourages the community to communicate via the District’s “Let’s Talk” platform; please click on the button below and again, please choose "Board of Education" as the topic.
